Fact #845
During the princess "pajama party" scene, many of the Disney princesses are wearing tee shirts that reflect their own films. Examples: Tiana's says "NOLA," which references her hometown of New Orleans, Louisiana. Moana's has a picture of a large crab that reads "#Shiny," just like the song sung by Tamatoa in her movie. Anna's shirt reads "Finish Each Other's" and a picture of a sandwich, a lyric to a song she sang in 'Frozen.'
Fact #846
Originally the "Oh My Disney" website Ralph and Vanellope visit was going to be the game series Disney Infinity, released back in 2013. The Disney Princesses were designed with this in mind, however during production the game series was cancelled and the website location was changed.
Fact #847
When Vanellope runs along the corridors eluding the stormtroopers, "Sector A113" is visible on the wall, referring to the infamous Cal Arts classroom A113 where several Pixar animators and producers studied.
Fact #848
Merida and Buzz Lightyear are the first characters from a Pixar Film to make their first full appearance in a film not by Pixar.
Fact #849
This is the Disney princesses' second cross-over outside the Disney princess brand. The first one was in House of Mouse back in 2001, which was about various animated Disney characters from prior to 2001 all coming together.
Fact #850
After seven years, Paige O'Hara returns to the role of Belle. She was previously replaced by voice actress Julie Nathanson for select video games and an episode of Sofia the First.
Fact #851
At one point, Ralph arrives at a sort of "dumping ground" for the Internet and encounters "relics" from the web's past. These include an ad for the web hosting site Geocities, a large ship's helm representing Netscape Navigator, and a reference to personal chat rooms which flourished before the advent of instant messaging and texting.
Fact #852
Mindy Kaling is the only cast member from the first film to not reprise her role in the sequel, with Melissa Villaseñor taking over as Taffyta Muttonfudge. It's not known why this recasting took place.
Fact #853
The producers were able to get permission from Lucasfilm to cameo some of the characters from the Star Wars films and to include some jokes in it. However, one character they were unable to do so was Kylo Ren. The script originally had a joke where Vanellope calls Kylo a spoiled child. Upon showing the idea, they requested directors Rich Moore and Phil Johnston not show that for it sounded disrespectful for the character who is the principal villain in the current Star Wars trilogy.
Fact #854
This would be the first time the Disney Princesses would wear 21st century clothing. They usually don't due to their respective movies being period pieces.
Fact #855
The earlier versions of the Vanellope and the Princesses scene in trailers were heavily criticized partially because Tiana's skin tones were lighter and her nose is smaller than the feature The Princess and The Frog. As the result, the animators had to rework certain parts of the sequence with the help of original actress Anika Noni Rose.
Fact #856
Gal Gadot's tough street racer character is based on her role as Gisele in the Fast and the Furious franchise. Shank's role is closer to the one of Dominic Toretto, played by Vin Diesel who plays Baby Groot in the film.
