* Each of the Disney Princesses were redesigned to have a broader style to fit the Wreck-It Ralph universe.

** Thus, it is also the second time Menken composes a song but not a music score for a Disney film after 1992's Newsies (whose music underscore was instead composed by J.A.C. Redford).
* When asked about naming the film with "Breaks the Internet" instead of "Wrecks the Internet", the filmmakers explained that the double meaning behind "break the internet" (being a common phrase on the real-life Internet and being literal as Ralph nearly destroys the world inside the Internet) made the title more appealing.
** The naming was also inquired by Ralph and Vanellope in the trailer, with Yesss giving an answer similar to the above.
