From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Disney's current sequelitis continues with a revisit to another of its recent, blockbuster properties.

So step up to the plate, Wreck-it-Ralph. The studio revealed Wreck-it-Ralph 2 is gearing up for production via a Facebook Live video on the Disney page, with its original director Rich Moore and screenwriter Phil Johnston returning to their creative roles; alongside a return from star John C. Reilly, who voiced the film's conflicted good guy/bad guy.

The film originally saw Reilly's giant-fisted destroyer attempt to escape his destined role as an arcade game villain and become the hero for a day; setting him off on an adventure across the entire arcade itself, between games and into the world of Sugar Rush's kart-racing antics.

It's there he meets the ever-charming, wise-cracking Vanellope von Schweetz; voiced by Sarah Silverman, who has also been confirmed to return for the sequel.

Moore has teased to Collider that the new film will take on the digital age, as Ralph breaks the internet. Supposedly not in the same way Kim Kardashian did, though. And the whole thing is set to be unleashed in cinemas on 9 March, 2018. Happy wrecking!

Moana - Teaser Trailer

For now, we can look forward to the release of Disney's next animated project, Moana; with the South Pacific set film featuring the voice work of Dwayne Johnson as the fearsome demi-god Maui.
