Move over Kim Kardashian, Disney princesses have united to break the internet in the latest trailer for the Wreck-It Ralph sequel.

Ralph Breaks The Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2 sees Ralph and Vanellope meet the pantheon of princesses, including Elsa, Cinderella, Jasmine and Moana.

It is the first time the universe's female leads have been seen on screen together.

Vanellope is seen telling them: "I'm a princess too."

She eventually forms a feminist bond with the cohort of princesses, completed by Belle, Tiana, Aurora, Cinderella, Mulan, Anna, Rapunzel, Ariel, Pocahontas, Jasmine and Snow White.

"Do people assume all your problems got solved because a big, strong man showed up?" asks Rapunzel.

"Yes! What is up with that?" Vanellope replies.
