Netizens

KnowsMore

"What can KnowsMore help you find today?"

Voiced by: Alan Tudyk

The curator of a search engine of the same name. He primarily assists users with finding things in the Net.

---

• Dude, Where's My Respect?: He is almost never thanked for his services, much to his annoyance.
• Disembodied Eyebrows: He has eyebrows that float above his glasses.
• Finishing Each Other's Sentences: He has an autofill function that enables him to predict what users are looking for. It just is being aggressive that day.
• Good Counterpart: Tudyk was also the voice of King Candy/Turbo, but this character is far friendlier.
• Insufferable Genius: Downplayed; while he's usually quite friendly, he does tend to occasionally get a bit smug, condescending, and a little bit snarky on a few rare occasions. When a user named Madeline is looking for ballet tights, KnowsMore hopes that ballet will last longer than the soccer phase.
• Medium Blending: The rest of his body is in 3-D, but his eyes are on his glasses, not his head, and are animated in frame-by-frame 2-D.
• The Professor: He wears a mortar board and a stylized academic robe.
• Rapid-Fire Interrupting: His aggressive Auto-fill makes him interrupt visitors with search suggestions.
• Shorter Means Smarter: He is a really short man but offers an incredible amount of knowledge and trivia.
• Smart People Wear Glasses: His glasses add to his academic image.

Yesss

"That is what the Internet was made for!"

Voiced by: Taraji P. Henson

An algorithm responsible for finding the most trending thing on the net, and curator of Buzzztube.

---

• Anthropomorphic Personification: She is a humanoid representation of an algorithm used by the Buzzztube site to find hot, trending videos, who has her own office and converses with the main protagonists.
• Blue Is Heroic: Yesss is a blue algorithm who helps protect Ralph and Vanellope in the climax.
• Double Negative: In the trailer, Ralph asks if "Ralph Wrecks the Internet" would be a more appropriate title:
  Ralph: Shouldn't it be, "Ralph Wrecks the Internet"?
  Vanellope: Yes, since he is Wreck-It Ralph?
  Yesss: Uh, yeah, but "break the internet", it's like a thing.
  Ralph: Right, it's just "Wreck the Internet" kinda sounds better, doesn't it?
  Yesss: You're not wrong.
• The Fashionista: One of her main traits. See Unlimited Wardrobe.
• Irony: Her job is to make sure that trends get the attention they deserve. That means that the first scene featuring the algorithm named Yesss is her going No, no, no as she sifts through a few videos that don't deserve the attention.
• Lovable Alpha Bitch: She's egotistical, obsessed with trends, and dismissive of Ralph until she discovers he's her latest viral sensation. She also genuinely cares about Ralph and Vanellope's well being and continues to help them even when Ralph's internet fame has long dried out.
• Pretty in Mink: The first costume we see her wearing includes a fur coat. It's still very appropriate garment for a Head Algorithm, though, considering the fur looks like it's made of optical fibers.
• Reasonable Authority Figure: She is one of the most important programs for Buzzztube, and she's helpful to people. When Ralph finds out the folly of reading negative comments, she assures him those don't represent everyone, and shouldn't let feel down just because of a few jerks.
• Sassy Black Woman: Well, not literally, but she is voiced by Taraji P. Henson and she fits the trope thanks to her sassy personality.
• Unlimited Wardrobe: She has to keep track of the latest trends and has a new outfit in each scene.

J.P. Spamley

"I'll take you to my website!"

Voiced by: Bill Hader (uncredited)

A pop-up advertisement looking for people who want to get rich playing video games.

---

• Butt-Monkey: Poor guy typically gets punched on a day-to-day basis by Pop-up Blockers and when he meets with Double Dan, he is intimidated by him immensely. Also Ralph slows down his car while riding in it, and later breaks through his car while falling.
• Clickbait Gag: He carries and acts as a pop-up ad for making money playing video games.
• Green and Mean: Downplayed. He's a shady dealer with green skin, but also a Jerk with a Heart of Gold.
• Honest John's Dealership: He barely ekes out a living by telling gamers that they can get rich quick by playing video games. He's surprisingly honest about it once you actually sign up, and never tries to cheat Ralph. Although his pitch is "get rich playing video games!", he explains right away that most of his loot hunting contracts are for low-level items that run around $5 to $10. You could nickel-and-dime your way to getting a decent amount of money on this over time, but it's not the big payoff in his ads. He actually does have a few high-level contracts for big payoffs, up to $40,000 - but there's a reason they're expensive: they're incredibly difficult to obtain. Again, despite his shady persona, he explains all of this to Ralph up front, and explicitly warns him that the $40,000 contract to steal Shank's car is risky.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's a shady spam salesman but he genuinely becomes friendly with Ralph, even after the latter by all accounts blows him off after abandoning getting money off Spamley's video game playing business. He even attempts to save Ralph at the end of the film, and although Ralph just crashes through the poorly done vehicle, the thought still counts.
• Meaningful Name: He's the personification of spam (i.e. junk mail) advertising.
• Real Money Trade: His website allows users to buy and sell video game items.
• Suddenly Shouting: Whenever he has to summon "GORD! GORD!!"

Gord

Spamley's personal assistant.

---

• Creepily Long Arms: He can stretch them at will, to a rather disturbing effect.
• Cute Mute: He doesn't say a word and he's pretty cute with his big eyes and turtleneck sweater that covers him up to his nose.
• Fish Eyes: Gord’s eyes are completely unfocused.
• Stealth Hi/Bye: When Spamley calls for him he appears out of nowhere, jumpscaring Ralph.

Double Dan

"What are you doing here?"

Voiced by: Alfred Molina

One resident of the Dark Net and an expert hacker.

---

• Bald of Evil: Downplayed. The top of his head has little-to-no hair, and he's a rude and unfriendly person doing shady business.
• Berserk Button: He hates people looking at his little brother (aka the living tumor on his neck) because his brother is self-conscious.
• Big Brother Instinct: He punches Spamley when he think he's staring at his brother because the latter is self-conscious.
• Body Horror: He resembles a giant slug with human skin and has a tumor with a face on it on his neck.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Downplayed. Double Dan isn't exactly evil but does sell viruses for a living. He also happens to be protective of his little brother.
• Even Evil Has Standards: Again, he's not exactly evil, but despite being a black market virus salesman, he doesn't sugarcoat what a bad idea it is to let a virus loose outside of its intended destination.
• Evil Brit: Has the voice of Alfred Molina and is a crime boss.
• Expy: Of Jabba the Hutt, both in terms of physical appearance and being a crime lord.
• Fat Bastard: A fat, slug-like creature who makes a living by creating and selling viruses.
• Karma Houdini: Is never seen again after he gives Arthur the Insecurity Virus to Ralph, meaning he most likely continued running his shady business as per usual.
• Plot-Irrelevant Villain: Despite being an Obviously Evil crime boss of the Dark Web, the only villainous thing he does is he sells Ralph the insecurity virus that crashes Slaughter Race and tries to destroy the Internet. However, Dan wisely warns Ralph not to let the virus spread out and escape, in which Ralph actually failed to do in his part.
• Small Role, Big Impact: He appears in exactly one scene, selling Arthur the Insecurity Virus to Ralph - which results in the film's climax.

The Virus (Spoilers)

Arthur (The Insecurity Virus)

Voiced by: John DiMaggio

A virus designed to find insecurities in a program and replicate them to cause the program to crash.

---

• Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance: Arthur is long, round and slender, like a snake, implying it's a worm-type virus. Also serves as a little bit of Foreshadowing if you know your computer viruses: worms are among the most destructive viruses there are.
• Broken Record: "Scanning for insecurities... Scanning for insecurities..."
• Flaw Exploitation: He functions by detecting and replicating insecurities in a system. This can be coding flaws to the point an entire game can collapse, or manifesting the emotional insecurities of someone like Ralph creating clones that are nothing but their worse traits.
• Greater-Scope Villain: Since the movie has No Antagonist, he's this. It doesn't drive the plot, but the protagonist's issues cause it to wreak havoc in the climax.
• Karma Houdini: Possibly. Arthur disappears after spreading the Ralph clones all over the internet and is not seen being destroyed or captured, meaning it got off scot-free and will most likely continue to scan and copy insecurities in the future.
• No Celebrities Were Harmed: Its voice is based off of Keith Szarabajka's take on Harbinger.
• Semantic Superpower: Double Dan explains that the virus searches for insecurities and copies them endlessly. However, it turns out this doesn't just mean insecurities in the game code itself like Vanellope's glitch, but also emotional insecurities...
• Sir Not-Appearing-in-This-Trailer: Doesn't appear in any of the merchandise and poses the biggest threat to the whole cast.
• Tom the Dark Lord: Double Dan has named this virus "Arthur".
• Walking Spoiler: Its existence spoils the climax of the film.
• What Happened to the Mouse?: The last we see of Arthur, it is busy copying Ralph’s insecurities left and right before shooting beams at the camera. It disappears from the film afterwards, implying it escaped somewhere into the internet to spread chaos.

The Wreck-It Ralph Virus

Voiced by: John C. Reilly

Arthur's creation, a swarm of viral Ralph copies born of Ralph's emotional insecurity.

---

• Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Once it takes its Body of Bodies form, the Wreck-It Ralph virus is easily over 100 feet tall.
• Body of Bodies: The clones of Ralph that Arthur creates forms a giant King Kong-sized version of Ralph.
• Digital Abomination: An unstoppable army of discolored Ralph clones created by Double Dan's virus Arthur, all of them made from Ralph's emotional insecurities and negative personality traits. They're capable of generating lightning and eventually all come together to form a huge Body of Bodies with the intent of having Vanellope all to itself and killing Ralph, all the while corrupting and nearly destroying the entire internet in the process.
• Disappears into Light: The Giant Ralph fades away into pixels of light after Ralph accepts Vanellope’s choice of staying in Slaughter Race.
• Enemy Without: The clones serve as this to Ralph, representing his negative personality traits, such as selfishness, clinginess, and destructiveness.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Deconstructed. His desire to be friends with Vanellope is sympathetic it is also makes him willing to harm anyone in his way, including attempting to kill Ralph.
• The Heartless: Arthur exploits Ralph’s insecurities of letting go of Vanellope and causes it to create clones of Ralph with all his negative traits: a jealous, clingy monster who refuses to share his friend.
• Hive Mind: The Wreck-It Ralph Virus Clones when they form a Giant Ralph.
• Kaiju: The Giant Ralph rampages among the website buildings like one, even climbing the tallest one.
• Kill and Replace: The Giant Ralph Virus tries to do this to Ralph to be Vanellope’s only friend.
• Madness Mantra: "Friend?"
• Monster of the Aesop: Double Dan's virus copies the extremely insecure Ralph, creating a horde of replicants that wander around moaning "friend" and want to capture Vanellope and keep her with them forever.
• Redemption Equals Death: After Ralph tells the giant monster that in order to be a good friend, he must let Vanellope go even though it hurts, it accepts his speech and peacefully disappears into the light instead of being destroyed by the antivirus program.
• Sir Not-Appearing-in-This-Trailer: Doesn’t appear in any of the merchandise and poses the biggest threat to the whole cast.
• Walking Spoiler: Like Arthur, its existence spoils the climax of the film.
• The Worm That Walks: The clones join up to become one giant Ralph which performs a "King Kong" Climb.
• Yandere: The Ralph Virus is willing to kill the actual Ralph so it can be with Vanellope.
• Yellow Lightning, Blue Lightning: The virus Ralphs can create sparks of red electricity.

Slaughter Race

Shank

"Well well well. While the cat was away, these mice tried to play."

Voiced by: Gal Gadot

The in-game leader of a group of thugs in Slaughter Race.

---

• Action Girl: She's rough and tough in an extreme Carmageddon-like racing game.
• Badass Driver: Her driving skills are on par or even better than Vanellope's. Mind that she does not have any superpower like Vanellope, just pure skill.
• Badass Israeli: Being voiced by Gal Gadot, Shank has a noticeable Israeli accent, and she proves herself to be a very formidable threat if someone gets on her bad side.
• Benevolent Boss: Shank has shown to consider her group more like family than employees and respects their disagreements.
• Big Sister Instinct: She and Vanellope develop this dynamic during the course of the movie. Vanellope even confides to her with something she has no courage to say to Ralph.
• Boss Subtitles: When Shank appears to a pair of players trying to steal her car, a lot of text appears around her head including her name, not unlike character introductions in Borderlands.
• Cool Big Sis: A big sister figure to Vanellope with the latter noting she's cool in every way.
• Cool Car: Her stylish car which everyone tries to steal and is possibly even the central objective of the game.
• Dark Is Not Evil: Shank wears dark clothing and is the leader of the in-game antagonists of Slaughter Race, but is quite friendly when off work.
• Establishing Character Moment: Shank is first shown with her intimidating gang members getting the drop on two players about to steal her car and promptly orders Pyro to kill them. Afterwards, Shank gets into a mild disagreement with Pyro and Felony about how hard they may be going on the gamers, but she expresses her opinion in a non-threatening manner. When Vanellope and Ralph attempt to steal her car, Shank manages to keep up while showing her impressive driving skills. And even though she has every right to be mad at the duo, she immediately helps them on their quest. Shank is a ruthless in-game leader, and off-game she's a genuine Nice Girl, and either way she's a Badass Driver.
• Expy: Of Gisele Yashar from The Fast and the Furious, especially in being played by the same actress.
• Foil: To Ralph. Both are the lead antagonists of violent video games and act as older sibling (bordering on parental) figures to Vanellope. Ralph is the only antagonist of his game (with the violence being quite cartoonish), started off with zero friends, and is shown to be quite insecure; Shank may be the lead antagonist of her game (the violence of her game is more Black Comedy but still more mature than Ralph's), she also has four teammates who also act as antagonists who she considers family, and is quite confident. Also, while Ralph's body is cartoonishly huge, Shank has realistic proportions.
• Hidden Depths: She and her crew may seem tough and ruthless (and indeed they are, in-game at least), but after getting to know Vanellope and Ralph they show a friendlier side to themselves, even offering to help the duo earn the money needed to buy the Sugar Rush steering wheel.
  Shank: ♫ We may be a motley crew, but our hearts ring true! ♫
• Ink-Suit Actor: Shank was very clearly drawn to look like Gal Gadot.
• The Leader: Shank is the in-game boss of the game as well as the de-facto leader of her gang when they are on and off their job, and incorporates three of the four types of leaders. Shank is the one to come up with ideas or orders (The Mastermind), an experienced "bad guy" along with her gang (Levelheaded), and is The Face of the gang noted for her confidence and Vanellope takes an instant liking to her (Charismatic).
• Mean Character, Nice Actor: In-universe. Her character in-game is the leader of a thug gang out to terrorize the streets and take extreme measures on players who attempt to steal her car. Outside of game, however, Shank and her crew are actually pretty nice people to hang out with and even find some of the actions they do in-characters a bit too extreme. Shank isn’t even that mad after Vanellope stole her car, saying that she was having a good time racing with her and even invites Vanellope to play her game again.
• Nice Girl: When she's off-the-clock, Shank's extremely friendly and easygoing. She doesn't even get mad at Vanellope and Ralph for trying to steal her car when they explain the situation.
• Reasonable Authority Figure: She's the leader of her gang, but she treats her thugs as equals, even calling them her family. She doesn't mind when Pyro and Felony question her decisions, simply explaining her point of view and respecting their own.
• Tattooed Crook: Shank has a knife tattoo.
• Worthy Opponent: She and Vanellope see each other as one during their initial race.

Shank's gang

From left to right: Felony, Butcher Boy, Shank (center), Little Debbie, and Pyro

Four NPC thugs accompanying Shank. Their names are Butcher Boy (Timothy Simons), Felony (Ali Wong), Pyro (Hamish Blake) and Little Debbie (Glozell Green).

---

• Action Girl: Felony and Little Debbie are both tough drivers just like their leader Shank.
• Animal Motifs: Bulls for Butcher Boy.
• Badass Crew: A crew of experienced and badass drivers.
• Bad Butt: They're supposed to be hardcore villainous NPCs in a Ultra Super Death Gore Fest Chainsawer 3000 video game, but they don't do anything really hardcore due to the movie's PG rating.
• The Big Guy: Butcher Boy is a tall, muscular man and the biggest of the gang.
• Blow You Away: Pyro's flamethrowers can also be used to expel hard, indefinite gusts of wind like leaf-blowers, which is used when Shank makes Ralph's first video.
• Five-Token Band: Shank is an Israeli^note possibly, if her accent is anything to go by female leader, Pyro and Butcher Boy are white males (and Pyro has an Australian accent), Little Debbie is an African-American woman, and Felony is an Asian woman.
• Graceful Loser: Butcher Boy takes getting beaten by Vanellope pretty well, saying he still has value.
• Hidden Depths: They have deep, philosophical conversations with each other when the gamers aren't around.
• Kill It with Fire: Pyro does it very literally to two players' avatars.
• Mean Character, Nice Actor: In-universe. As any video game villain in the film's universe, they are Punch-Clock Villains who hurt the player characters, but are pretty nice people outside their game.
• Meaningful Name: Pyro attacks the player characters with flamethrowers.
• Punch-Clock Villain: Much the same as the villains of arcade games. Obviously, they're villainous gangsters who do everything to get in the ways of the players' (and Ralph's and Vanellope's) objectives, but they're friendly and suprisingly helpful when they can. Pyro even feels bad about being too hard on a couple of players, but Shank argues that they provide a genuine challenge that the players expect and deserve.
• Pyromaniac: As his name implies, Pyro's weapon of choice is a pair of flamethrowers.
• Skeleton Motif: Felony and Butcher Boy have skulls on their shirts, and the latter also has a skull tattooed on his bicep.
• Tattooed Crook: Both Felony and Butcher Boy have tattoos on their skin and are Punch Clock Villains.
• Two Girls to a Team: Gender inverted. Shank's gang consist of three females — herself, Litle Debbie, and Felony and two males — Pyro and Butcher Boy.

Pancake Milkshake

Fun Bun

• Balloon Belly: Ends up with one after getting fed too many pancakes by Ralph and Vanellope.
• Black Bead Eyes: He is in a cutesy game and has tiny black eyes.
• Blush Stickers: Has these on his cheeks.
• Bunnies for Cuteness: An adorable pink bunny from a video game for toddlers.
• Family-Unfriendly Death: Explodes after eating too many pancakes.
• Oh, Crap!: Has this reaction when he sees Vanellope giving him even more pancakes.

Puddles

• Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: A bright blue kitten. Justified because he is from a toddler game.
• Cute Kitten: An adorable blue kitten from a video game for toddlers.
• Satellite Character: Is not given as much focus as Fun Bun in the short scene they have with Ralph and Vanellope.
• Stock Animal Diet: A cat whose favorite drink is milk-based.

Anna voiced by: Kristen Bell

Moana voiced by: Auli'i Cravalho

Residing in OhMyDisney, they perform appearances to the public, including a quiz show, as part of the site's function.

---

• Adaptational Badass: Several, particularly the earlier princesses, are much more proactive than they usually are in their home movies. Even princesses that were already Action Girls get this (Moana displays the ability to control water and Mulan's sword skills are borderline supernatural), and by the climax they're basically a superhero team.
• Adaptational Jerkass: In this universe (at least in a deleted scene), they intentionally forget C-3PO's name, calling him "R2-D2" and "BB-8" instead.
• Action Girl: Due to their Adaptational Badass treatment, all of them become this.
• Art Evolution: Beyond the jump to CGI, the Walt Disney-era princesses (Snow White, Cinderella, and Aurora) have noticeably more stylized appearances than the more realistic appearances they had in their original films, with the most notable difference being that they have larger-sized and more expressive eyes. Cinderella also has visible ears, which wasn't the case in her earlier appearances. Justified, given that this is the first time Walt Disney Animation Studios has tackled these characters in years and their art style has evolved significantly since the Walt Disney days.
• Beautiful Singing Voice: Parodied via the internet-flanderized versions of the Disney Princesses, who are all great singers who sing about their dreams. They even advise Vanellope on the finer points of an "I Want" Song. Comparatively, Sarah Silverman sings Vanellope's song in a scratchier, less-polished way.
• Big Damn Heroes: They show up to save Ralph when he falls off of the Google tower.
• Cloudcuckoolander: In their original films, their behavior and personalities made a lot of sense. Out of context, they all come across as rather eccentric.
  Vanellope: So what you're saying is that if I stare at some water—
  Ariel: Dah! Important water.
  Vanellope: Right. Of course. Important water. I stare at the important water and somehow magically I'll start singing about my dream?
• Creator Cameo: Interestingly, Snow White is voiced by Pamela Ribon rather than her current voice actor, Katie Von Till. Ribon is not only the co-writer for the entire movie, but also the person who wrote and pitched the Princess scene!
• Cool Big Sis: They encourage Vanellope to follow her dream.
• Dramatic Wind: For Pocahontas. The movie pokes fun at this use in her original film. Her hair is blown by the wind indoors. Also for some reason, she has the ability to control wind.
• Elemental Powers: During the climax, Moana and Ariel demonstrate some control over water, Pocahontas has some control over wind, and Elsa has her ice powers.
• Fangirl: In the Greek dub, Merida's Scottish accent when she talks is replaced with her talking in Ancient Greek. Anna says that's because she's interested in Aristotle.
  Merida: Έστιν ουν τραγωδία μίμησις πράξεως σπουδαίας και τελείας, μέγεθος εχούσης, ηδυσμένω λόγω. ^note  Tragedy is the imitation of an action that is serious and also, as having magnitude, complete in itself.
  Vanellope: Uh-huh. [to the others] What did she just say?
  Tiana: We don't know.
  Moana: We can't understand her.
  Anna: She's quoting Aristotle.
  Vanellope: Ahhh.
• Flanderization: Downplayed compared to the original draft of the movie, but the princesses still have their personality traits exaggerated for comedy. This is in part due to them not being the real Princesses, but rather avatars created in their likeness for the quiz shows.
• Fun T-Shirt: Once they get casual wear inspired by Vanellope, plenty of them have amusing Mythology Gags in their shirts.
  • Ariel: "Gizmos& Whooz-its& Whats-its& Snarfblats& Dinglehoppers"
  • Aurora: "Nap Queen"
  • Belle: "BFF - Beast Friends Forever" beneath a silhouette of the Beast's head.
  • Cinderella: "G2G" (got to go... in the pumpkin carriage, no less)
  • Elsa: "Just Let It Go"
  • Anna: “finish each other's" (in a sandwich)
  • Moana: "#Shiny"
  • Merida: "Mum" (below a bear), a reference to her mother Queen Elinor, who changes into a bear after eating an enchanted tart
  • Rapunzel has the Snuggly Duckling logo.
  • Tiana: "NOLA"
  • Mulan: a jacket with Mushus (which she never opens)
  • Snow White: a poison apple with the word "Poison" beneath it
  • Pocahontas: "Blue Corn Moon" with the image of a howling wolf and the moon as a backdrop.
  • Jasmine: "3 Wishes" (with the number being the Genie's hand)
• Fourth-Wall Observer: The Princesses are very much aware of the fact that Merida is from Pixar.
• Funny Foreigner: Merida. She's the only princess with a non-American accent, and her use of Scottish phrases will confuse any non-native speakers. Played with in that it's implied that she's foreign not because she's Scottish, but because she's from the other studio.
• Hidden Depths: In the film's original cut of their scene, the Princesses reveal to Vanellope that some of them are not as "perfect" as most would believe. Jasmine, for example, is actually allergic to cats and requires an inhaler to help deal with her allergies. Also, Snow White is actually nearsighted and wears glasses when off-duty. In the final cut, it is also revealed that they don't really know anything about modern fashion until they meet Vanellope, who then inspires them to start wearing similar outfits when off-duty.
• Irony: Snow White, who was poisoned, uses poison to save Ralph.
• "I Want" Song: Discussed. The princesses talk about their experiences (detailed in their own films) about singing about your wants and dreams in life and Vanellope is a bit put out when she can't. They advise her to go through something and stare into some important water.
• Let's Get Dangerous!: Someone steps into the Princess' dressing room unauthorized, and everyone immediately grabs a weapon or otherwise prepares to fight. They were also out in the Internet while the Wreck-It Ralph Virus was running amok, and when Ralph falls they immediately coordinate a rescue for him.
• Making a Splash: Moana and Ariel now seem to have the ability to control water.
• Missing Mom: When Jasmine asks Vanellope if she ever had daddy issues, Vanellope tells her she doesn't even have a mom. Jasmine, Pocahontas, Cinderella, Belle, Snow White, Ariel, Elsa, and Anna happily exclaim that they don't either.
• Modest Royalty: They become this after donning their Vanellope-inspired casual attire.
• Mundane Object Amazement: As it turns out, they're so used to their Iconic Outfits that they are impressed by Vanellope's casual clothing. So impressed, in fact, that they all decide to start wearing similar attire when off-duty. Ariel even nearly breaks into a parody of "Part of Your World" over her amazement at getting to wear a t-shirt.
• Mundane Utility: Elsa is seen using her powers to make and cool a milkshake when off-duty.
• Mythology Gag: There are actually quite a few of them in their scene in addition to the aforementioned references seen on their casual wear. For example:
  • When mistaking Vanellope for an intruder, some of the Princesses that have weapons based on ones seen in their movies, with Pocahontas wielding her father's club, Rapunzel wielding her frying pan, and Anna having her fists raised.
  • Upon questioning Vanellope, the Princesses grill her on every trope that has applied to them in their own films, including having magical abilities, being able to speak to animals, etc.
  • Their appearance in the climax is also full of references to their original movies. Among others, Jasmine flies the magic carpet, Aurora uses a spindle to spin Rapunzel's hair into a rope, Belle uses a book to hit Snow White's poisoned apple into the air, Anna and Cinderella help Jaq and Gus sew two of the princesses' discarded dresses to Rapunzel's magic hair to use as parachutes, Elsa then uses her powers to create an ice slide, and Tiana produces Prince Naveen - in frog form - to wake Ralph with a kiss. Plus, all of their actions are accompanied by their respective leitmotifs.
• Nice Character, Mean Actor: In-Universe, the Disney Princesses themselves are all nice characters in their respective films, but in this universe, some keep pretending not to remember C-3PO's name.^note  These scenes were cut from the film prior to release.
• Parachute Petticoat: They use a Snow White dress to act like this, so Ralph's fall is broken.
• Plucky Girl: Each of the princesses have been through traumatic experiences in their respective movies, and are still quite cheerful, despite being poisoned, cursed, kidnapped or enslaved, and having their voice taken away in exchange for a pair of human legs, and not having a mother.
• Poison Is Corrosive: Snow White's poisonous apple has a corrosive property, which is exploited by the princesses to eat through the stakes holding their Parachute Petticoat in place so that when Ralph falls into it, the stakes come off easily.
• Poisonous Person: Snow White summons poisoned apples from seemingly nowhere.
• Really Fond of Sleeping: Princess Aurora is regularly shown dozing off, and her Fun T-Shirt reads "Nap Queen". She probably loves her naps. She is the Sleeping Beauty, after all.
• Riddle for the Ages: What were they doing in the city in the climax of the film when they saw Ralph falling from the Google tower?
• Royals Who Actually Do Something: If they feel threatened, they won't hesitate to go in the defensive to protect themselves. Also, at the end of the film, they work together to save Ralph from falling to his death.
• Shoe Slap: Cinderella weaponizes her glass slipper as explained below.
• Significant Wardrobe Shift: Cinderella has her mice make up some modern clothes for the princesses, with Vanellope's help, while they're bonding with her, and find it easier to relax in them.
• Sinister Shiv: Parodied when Cinderella smashes the tip off of a glass slipper and points it like a broken beer bottle.
• The Unintelligible:
  • Merida, because of her Scottish accent. She was unintelligible enough in the trailer, but the movie itself turns it up to eleven!
    Merida: Ach! Lang may yer lum reek, and may a moose ne'er leave your girnal with a tear drop in his eye! Haste ye back, me lassie!
    Vanellope: Uh-huh. [to the others] What did she just say?
    Tiana: We don't know.
    Moana: We can't understand her.
    Anna: She's from the other studio.
    Vanellope: Ahhh.
  • This is a Mythology Gag to Brave's Young MacGuffin, one of Merida's would-be suitors who speaks in a thick, unintelligible Doric dialect that no one besides his father Lord MacGuffin can make heads or tails of.
• You Don't Look Like You: While it's debatable for the princesses who made the jump from traditional animation to CGI, the same cannot be said for some that were already CGI in their debut film. Merida◊'s shape and face looks more like the style used by Disney's animation studios for Rapunzel, Anna and Elsa than how Pixar created her. Especially her lack of both long neck and round face, and her mane of red hair is much brighter in Ralph Breaks the Internet.

Mo

The toddler that has the misfortune of witnessing a bunny blow up on her tablet game, thanks to Ralph's interfering.

• Break the Cutie: The poor thing is left a shrieking mess when she sees the bunny blow up.
• Elmuh Fudd Syndwome: She pronounces "trailer" "twailer". Justified by her age.
• Leaning on the Fourth Wall: She's sad that a scene from the trailer of a movie she went to wasn't in it. She could be talking about the movie she has watched recently, but it's actually a Self-Deprecation joke Disney played on themselves, as Mo's scene was featured prominently in the trailers but is absent from the movie itself. Her entire scene is a Missing Trailer Scene played for laughs, therefore In-Universe.
• Meaningful Name: "Mo" is short for "Moana", whom her character design has been reused from.
• Reused Character Design: Her design is taken from Baby Moana. As if that wasn't enough, her mother and Moana's mother share the same voice actress.
• The Scream: She lets out a loud shriek when the bunny blows up.
• That Makes Me Feel Angry: "...and that makes me sad."
