ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

[–] Jessica Julius Author

It’s a privilege to share the story of how Ralph Breaks the Internet evolved visually from nascent idea to the beautiful final film. Thank you, Clark Spencer, Rich Moore, and Phil Johnston, for entrusting me with the task.

Cory Loftis, Matthias Lechner, Ami Thompson—you are creative wizards and I am in awe of your talents. You and every artist interviewed for this book has my eternal gratitude for taking the time to sit with me and share your thoughts on your art and process.

There can never be enough huzzahs for Alison Giordano, Stevi Carter, Lindsay Henry, Brittany Kikuchi, David Thibodeau, Val Sanchez, Ruth Strother, Nathan Curtis, Eileen Aguirre, Ainsley Shannon, and the entire Ralph Breaks the Internet production management team. Thank you so much for everything you do.

Thank you to my gracious and discerning editor, Beth Weber, and designer extraordinaire, Glen Nakasako. I’m so glad I got to work with both of you again. Scott Hummel and Michael Hebert, I couldn’t have made this book happen without you. Thank you as well to my amazing work family, the incomparable development department of the Walt Disney Animation Studios.

To Mom: Thank you, always and everyways. And to my husband, Shannon: My world would be wrecked without you.
