Do the words pancake and milkshake trigger you ever so slightly?
Do you have a sudden appreciation for the logistics of dressmaking?
Congratulations, youve seenRalph Breaks the Internet!

6 will amaze you!
We didnt want to do another Disney villain, or a surprise villain, as some people call them.
We really wanted the antagonist to be Ralphs insecurity.
Not Ralph, but his actual sense of insecurity.
But we didnt know how to do it at first.
To the point where we almost gave up on the idea.
That did lead us to that actually being the way a denial-of-service attack works.
Although obviously there isnt really a gigantic monster in a denial-of-service attack.
Theres a song fromHerculesthat didnt make the cut, but it was referenced.
But in the beginning we showed him a very,veryrough cut of an animatic that we used.
And he said, Its about 30 percent of the way there.
We were happy to get to 30 percent.
Hairachute is the code name, yes?MOORE:Thats what we would call it internally.
We went into the desert and did some peyote and came back and did it.
It was, like everything that we do, a big collaborative effort in creating.
Youre going to have to trust us that this should be a cartoon.
It was just a huge collaboration.
I dont know how you do that.
But he killed it.
Its actually pretty much whats in the movie now.
By the time it was time to do the teaser, we thought, Oh,thisis staying in.
This will be in the movie no matter what.
It actually may have been the very first sequence.
People are talking about this scene!
Even the Consumer Products department was already making things for it!
But we have a strict policy.
If its not serving the story, then its not in the movie.
MOORE:We would say, shes a descendant of Moana, whosnamedMoana.
Were just going to go full meta on this one.
You mentioned Spamley, so let me ask two questions: One, what the hell was Gord?
MOORE:I dont know who this Bill Hader guy is.
JOHNSTON:We dont know why that character exists.
We dont know who voiced it.
Well let the internet figure that out.
MOORE:Haders are gonna hate.
JOHNSTON:And Marc, how dare you ask what Gord is.
MOORE:Hes a child of God just like all of us.
JOHNSTON:Gord is every man.
Hes a beautiful little google-eyed weirdo.
MOORE:But I think he is kind of the same race as Double Dan.
JOHNSTON:Yeah, hes Double Dans cousin.
His design is very similar to that of little Dan, the vestigial twin in Dans shoulder.
Youll notice their eyes are quite similar.
So theyre of the same… theyve got a tiny bit of virus in them.
MOORE:Theyre supposed to be worm malware.
Because worms will produce viruses.
I think that Gord is some sort of…
JOHNSTON:Beneficent worm.
MOORE:Hes a Double Dan in training.
But Gord at least covers his shame, unlike Double Dan.
We tried not to double up.
MOORE:I think they did almost 100 cat videos.
We had tons of them.
We wanted it to feel like there were thousands and thousands of different videos in the space.
The ones Rich is talking about are soft-focused and way in the background.
For me, its a very nice two-chapter story that I would feel happy if this were it.
Unless some lightning strikes and Vanellope has more growing up to do or something like that.
But to me, it feels likeThe IliadandThe Odyssey.
Or The Idiot andThe Odyssey.
MOORE:I would hate to take a gamble on aGodfather III.
I love where [Ralph] has ended up.
It feels so nicely wrapped up.
So theres that, I guess.
Now, are you free to doZootopia 2?MOORE:Im not so sure.
I mean, I love that world.
Its like tailor-made for another story.
I dont see one right now.
I know the fans would love it.
But again, its never say never.
The film will tell us.
JOHNSTON:Honestly, theres no secret at this point.
