The story so far
Everything you need before watching
Ralph corners Sour Bill in the candy kingdom and refuses to accept his shrugging answers. A few sour threats later, the frightened candy finally explains that Vanellope was once a racer, and that King Candy erased her code to keep her from crossing the finish line. The revelation turns a silly interrogation into a race against the arcade’s hidden rules.
