In the upcoming Wreck-It Ralph sequel, Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2, the characters dive head-first from the safety of their arcade games and into the internet. And everything is in the internet. We’re in the internet right now! And so are the Muppets.
In the new trailer, Ralph and Vanellope head to the Disney website where we see the five pillars of Disney fandom: Disney animation, Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar… and The Muppet Show.
Wow, really? Yes, really.
The Muppet portion of this scene consists of a floating Kermit head, but we’re holding out hope that it means we can expect more Muppet content throughout the film. Also, we hope it means that Disney actually thinks this highly of the Muppet brand, and they have plans to elevate them to the heights of Star Wars or Pixar in the near future.
At the very least, maybe Disney could actually put some Muppet content on their website. Just sayin’.
UPDATE: Oh hey, there’s Beaker too!
