Video of the Day: JBunzie and Traci Hines' "Wreck It Ralph 2" Live Action Princesses Scene

JBunzie is not typically thought of as a singer. She’s a talented cosplayer with special skills in makeup, and she has a YouTube channel dedicated primarily to makeup for cosplay. She can make pretty much anybody look like pretty much anybody else.

Part of being a cosplayer means being able to act the part. It’s not just costuming, but something more. In JBunzie’s case, it’s a lot more, because she sings as well. Here is JBunzie, teaming up with Traci Hines and an entire ensemble of Disney princesses in this amazing amazing live action recreation of the Disney Princesses scene from the trailers for Ralph Breaks the Internet movie trailers.

Let’s start with the prologue. As always, if you’re visiting us on your desktop, use the player controls at the top of this page to temporarily pause the SCIFI.radio stream before you hit the play button.

Okay, first up, Snow White peeling in after Vanellope says “YES! What is UP with that!” is hysterical, and check the look on Merida’s face when she does it. It’s an exact take on the animated version of the same thing from the trailer.

Now check out the song, When Can I See You Again? It’s a cover the song by Owl City, and the video is from Traci Hines’ YouTube channel. We don’t actually know if this song is in the film or not yet, because all we’ve seen so far is the trailers. However, the song does feature prominently in Disneyland and Disney World’s Paint the Night nighttime parades as the driving theme, so it really fits.

This is so sweet and so well done it gives you goosebumps. It gave me goosebumps, anyway. All the singing is just Disney-grade perfection. The singing ranges from “wow” to “wow!” The staging is marvelous, despite a lot of it having been done on a green screen set and composited together. Every character perfectly masters the role they’re playing, and for each one there are clever visual callbacks to that character’s back story.

While we’re at it, did you notice that Venellope’s skirt is a peanut butter cup wrapper?

And now, here’s the behind the scenes video showing you how the magic was done, from Nicolette Melody’s YouTube channel. Nicolette is a singer and dancer, a cosplayer and a vlogger who devotes a lot of attention to Disney things. The video shows the ladies preparing for their roles on camera and all the work that goes into creating the perfection we see on screen.

This was one of those magical collaborations where everything comes together to create a once in a lifetime experience for everyone involved – and a magical experience for us, the lucky audience who gets to see it.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone involved for this entirely fan-made, yet completely authentic, bit of Disney magic.
