Edited: Teasers and new trailer released - Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2

"When Can I See You Again"

from Wreck-it Ralph ;)

Edit: I added the new trailer and a link to some more pictures and some thoughts towards the end of this post! Have fun!
Today I discovered that some pictures of the new Wreck-It Ralph sequel were released, among them a picture showing some of the Disney Princesses that will appear in the movie. I've been waiting for this since last year, when  a scene was shown at D23 where the girls appear. Here is an article from last year with more information:
https://eu.usatoday.com/story/life/entertainthis/2017/07/15/wreck-ralph-sequel-disney-princesses/481531001/
I found two versions of that picture:

 

I linked this first one from Facebook, shared byWalt Disney Animation Studios The second one is linked from the USA Today site. I got the information from the comments section belonging to the first picture that the picture is cropped and where the full picture can be found.

I'm very excited for this movie I loved the first one and I as far as I know, Vanellope von Schweetz is going to give the ladies a makeover. I hope this means casual dresses for all of them and I also hope Disney realeases the outfits as dress packs. My dolls would love to exchange their ballgowns from time to time for more comfortable clothes.
According to the Wikipedia article, all members of the Disney Princess lineup will be included, so no worries if you don't see your favourite girl in the picture. (To make it clear: I consider Disney Princesses and princesses two different things. Disney Princesses is the lineup, with Pocahontas and Mulan beeing part of it, and princesses are - well, princesses. Anna is a princess but not a Disney Princess. Mulan is a Disney Princess but not a princess. That's how I see it.) I think they actually use the cast of Ms Amy Mebbersons Pocket Princesses - her lovely and funny weekly pictures feature Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Pocahontas, Mulan, Tiana, Rapunzel, Merida, Elsa, Anna and Moana. It looks like these ladies will appear in the new Wreck-it Ralph movie, too. I understand that many people are disappointed that characters they love didn't make it but I greatly dislike the amount of negativity and rudeness it brings with it. Maybe the other characters (like Kida or Nala) will get a chance later where they won't have to compete with the princesses for attention. That is pretty hard in my opinion.
Here are some more pictures, also form Facebook, shared together with the first picture:

Oh and here is the link to the trailer, too, I'm pulling this one from youtube:

Neither the pictures nor the video are owned by me, I'm merely an excited fan who wanted to share it.
Here is the new trailer that came out today (4th June 2018):

This flickr user made some great screenshots, go and look at them! They are right at the top now, but will likely get lover and lover, as koji kiote  adds more new pictures to the gallery. Another flickr user with amazing pictures, drj1828, made an album for Wreck it Ralph 2 which can be found here and the pictures can be easily found there even as his gallery grows. Those pictures are of course not mine.
If you look at these pictures, you'll see that all the girls missing from the first picture are there: Mulan, Merida and Ariel.
No Elena, but she has her own Wiki (as far as I know) and she is from a TV show, so I think it makes sense she is not in the same room as the other girls. But I'm sure she is out there somewhere in the internet, we just don't ger to see her in this movie. :)
The US Release Date is said to be November 21, 2018.
I'm going to watch this one with the original dub, since most of the puns and jokes get lost while translating or doesn't work so well in another language - at least that's what happened to the first Wreck-It Ralph movie.
Who else is excited? :)

Some arts and crafts

Today, I'll share some of the stuff I made for or about the princesses.

My princesses use  chairs I made using this tutorial made by My Froggy Stuff:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WygYhe_PcMs
It's really easy to make, no sewing no gluing and it's really fast. Toiletpaperrolls are just the right size for these minis.

My sister gave me some old socks that have holes but a nice bee pattern as well, so I thought the'll be just right for these chairs. There are several different colors but I have only made two chairs so far.

Chris likes that chair, too. Here she is modelling a Belle town outfit I made. (And I'm comparing it to the original) I choose her to dress up as Belle because she is easy to dress, had matching shoes and I didn't have a Belle doll back then. Belle is a quite new addition but her story will be told a bit later. :) Back to the outfit. It consists of three separate pieces, blouse, dress and apron. The first two doesen't have anything to close it at the back, it would have made it too bulky in my opinion. They are held in place with the apron.

This little table is made to help recreating some delightful Pocket Princesses moments. :) And the princesses do need a table. It is made of three pieces of wood as legs and a fourth piece is the top. Very simple just had to measure where to glue the legs so the princesses can sit all around the table.

And at last but not least, some sketches I made using photo references. :) The first one is of the 17 inch Limite Edition Rapunzel dressed in purple the other is the 17 inch Limited Edition Anna doll, Fozrn Fever version. Enjoy! I could not find the reference picture for Rapunzel but for Anna I used a photo from the great collection of drj1828

About the Princess House

"You are the love that never dies
You are my home
You make me strong"

source: http://www.lyricsondemand.com/soundtracks/s/scarletpimpernellyrics/youaremyhomelyrics.html

from the musical the Scarlet Pimpernel

So what is this Princess House that is mentioned here and there? Well, the Princesses have two homes, one in Meritres bedroom and one they can reach through the computer. That one’s called the Princess House and each princess has her own apartement there and the house magically expands when new members join. It has a kitchen, a huge dining room a bathroom and more. It can also be magically locked, but only by certain members of the group. Locking it completely means no one can get in and no one can get out. Locking it partially means that certain filters can be applied at the doors – meaning that for example only one person can’t open that door – they use it mostly for keeping Christmas – and birthday presents a secret. Lilian and Emily can do that partial locking and before they arrived, only Meritre.

When the princesses want to visit the house or one of the worlds, they turn on Meritres computer, run the special Princess Program (that allows the members at home to search the worlds for the princesses) they check in with the help of the tiny holes on their feet and than land in the control room of the princess house. Here they can choose which world they want to travel to and are magically transported there. They are dropped of at a random point and there a return point appears. That’s a check in point for their feet, it returns them to the control room of the Princess House. It is possible to use a check-in point for more than one princess. The guys have a similar but separate system. They can’t enter the Princess House at all, it is only for the ladies. They have their own house but that one is not as neat as the girls little home.

The house itself is sorrunded by a park that borders a forest. There are also soe hills and mountains nearby. This central world is sorrunded by the Princess Worlds, the worlds we get to know in the films. They can visit each others ‘worlds’, Snow can go for a walk in th woods Aurora was raised, Elsa can go and explore China, and Ariels world even grants them the wish to be a mermaid for a limited amount of time. They can meet all the characters there but the ones thatexist as dolls and are ‘registered so they can travel to this world. They can’t take anything from there back into this world that doesn’t originally come from here.

This ’digital princessworld can be controlled a little and searched with Meritres computer. It is beautiful but it can be dangerous as well and the girls will stumble upon countless adwentures out there.

If there is something else, anyething new concerning the house, I’ll add it later. :)

Starting the Mini Princess Stories

Mini princess storys

The thirteen *fifteen** seventeen young heroines of this story are thirteen fifteen dolls, mini dollies to be precise. They were made to look like the Disney Princesses. They all have their own names but they also have the name of the character they are made to look like as a surename. For example foreigners adress them as Miss Snow White, Miss Ariel etc. They present themselves to foreigners as Jasmine Arabella, Belle Elisabeth etc. They have two homes: one in Meritres bedroom and one in the Princess House, they can get there through the Computer.
Please don't tell me that certain characters are not princesses, I don't want to argue about who is a Princess and who is not and why, I decided to call all of my little heroines princesses, yes, even Pocahontas and Mulan and Naomi and Elsa. Thankyou. :)

2016. 09. 24. Elena and Naomi
Sometime around august or september 2016 Elena of Avalor happened. And a set of mini dolls. Why not add those two little beauties as well to the group? So two new girls joined the gang, Nicolette Elena of Avalor and Rebecca Naomi. Oh yes, and the boys, too, taking Naveens (Gabe) and Aladdins (Mateo) places. The chanche that the original princes will be made as mini dolls is very slim and I saw a little likeness, so I decided to make them part of my list. So they are now on my wishlist.
The Plan was to start the stories when I have all princesses (not to mention all the other characters) but I came to conclusion that it’ll be better to start off with the ones I already have and not wait forever. Those are: Annis Ariel, Elisabeth Belle, Arabella Jasmine, Rosemary Rapunzel, Christine Merida, Philippa Elsa, Hazel Anna
Most stories will start with a quote I think goes well with that particular story. Sometimes they won't be in english but I'll always put a translation there, too. Some stories are told from the point of view of a mini doll and will de marked with 'a story by this and that'. Some just show what happened from an outsiders point of view. Those will be marked as 'a story told'.



*at the beginning the eleven Disney Princesses and the two girls from Frozen made up the group now I added the two girls from Elena of Avalor. I thought I can get all princesses before new candidates turn up. Obviously I was wrong.

**update: Now I have doubles of Elsa and Anna (Coronation and Winter versions) so there are even more princesses. And the number keeps growing. You can see the members of the princess gang I already own under the Introducing my minis tab.
