Interpreting the internet for a family film is not as simple as tossing a desktop on the big screen. Members of the Disney creative team told The Post how they re-imagined the web for “Ralph Breaks the Internet.”

When Ralph and Vanellope first step inside the Wi-Fi router, they’re shocked to find a boring, cavernous room instead of the magical Internet. Co-directors Rich Moore and Phil Johnston wanted the scene to look bland because it’s the truth. “We broke open a router with a hammer,” Johnston says. “And what we found inside wasn’t very exciting.”

After the duo arrives in the internet, they head to the search bar called KnowsMore — a Google and Ask Jeeves hybrid that looks like a geeky egg. For the character’s voice, Moore offered actor Alan Tudyk some inspiration: “Droopy dog and Truman Capote,” the director says.

The duo then goes to eBay in hopes of a winning bid for a missing part. The team envisioned the Web site as a brick-and-mortar auction house, complete with fast-talking auctioneers and gavels. “Rich and Phil were like, it’s a place where you bid on items — an auction house!” head of story Josie Trinidad says. “When we started to root it in reality in a way that we could latch onto it and understand, it made it a lot easier.”

To make it even more authentic, Johnston says, “we brought in real auctioneers to voice the characters.”
