This is a random idea I thought of last night after learning that The Mandalorian has surpassed frozen in popularity, sales wise anyway. This is set in my online world, during Tales of Litwak city. also the events of the story will take place on the main disney website, i just learned oh my disney is sort of obsolete now and has moved operations there.
(May 2021, disney dot com)
The disney website was without a doubt one of the happiest places on the internet. There one could find a variety of Disney characters from old to new, take quizzes, watch videos, and meet characters of all kinds. You could find Pixar, classic Disney, muppets, to even characters from Marvel and Star Wars. Formerly Oh my Disney, this site was a hangout spot Vanellope used on occasion to hang with her friends, the Disney princesses, and occasionally she'd bring Ralph or a racer or what not. Our story begins in this very site, with Ralph and Vanellope passing through a section of the site to meet the characters. They noticed 3 characters getting a lot of attention.
"Oh my god there he is" one woman shouted
"It's the child" a man shouted
Sitting at a crowded table were 3 people. Above them was an advertisement for a Disney plus tv show called The Mandalorian. A sign pointed towards the table reading 'Meet Din Djarin: The Mandalorian himself. Meet Grogu: the child. Meet Moff Gideon: the villain'.
Ralph and Vanellope looked at them. The Mandalorian wore shiny armor and signed autographs. The child who resembled a green alien baby took pictures with guests. Moff Gideon who wore all black armor and a cape showed off a black lightsaber looking weapon.
"They sure are popular. Never heard of them before" said Ralph
"We don't have Disney plus back in the city so it's not surprising we haven't heard of them. Must be a good show" said Vanellope
"Hey why don't you go catch up with the princesses and I'll meet you in a bit. I'm gonna head over to the Star Wars pavilion and see what I can learn about them" said Ralph
The 2 split up with Vanellope heading towards a backstage area, avoiding First Order stormtroopers who patrolled the area. Despite being friends of the princesses, she technically wasn't allowed back here, and sometimes had to sneak into the princesses dressing room. Upon glitching inside, Mulan got into attack position.
"I really hate it when you do that. There's a thing called knocking you know" said Mulan
"Sorry. Force of habit" said Vanellope
(With Ralph)
Ralph had made it to the Star Wars pavilion, where a man in black armor as well as a little girl with short blonde hair were talking about a new tv show that recently came out called The Bad Batch. But Ralph pressed on, not really interested. He passed by other shows in the pavilion like The clone wars, Rebels, Resistance, before finally reaching the Mandalorian. He went up to an info booth and got a basic plot on a computer screen.
'After the stories of Jango and Boba Fett, another warrior emerges in the Star Wars universe. "The Mandalorian" is set after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order. We follow the travails of a lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy, far from the authority of the New Republic.'
"Well that doesn't tell me much" said Ralph
"Then allow me to answer any questions you have"
Ralph was approached by a black man in red clothes with 2 blasters at his side.
"My name is Greef Karga, I am one of the characters on the show. Tell me large bare foot man, what can I tell you about my show?"
"Is it that good?" Ralph asked
"Absolutely, it's one of the main reasons people subscribe to Disney plus. Our merchandise sales were through the roof last year. Just recently the company ceo said we were more popular than frozen"said Karga
"Really? No way. My friend Vanellope tells me how big that movie is around here" said Ralph
"Times have changed. Anna and Elsa are old news. Our show is more popular now" said Karga
(With Vanellope)
"What? Really? A tv show is more popular than you?" Vanellope asked Elsa
"I don't really believe it. Kids still love us. Besides, who doesn't love our catchy songs and memorable characters?" Elsa asked Vanellope
"I'm gonna be honest I've never seen your movies. Or anyone's here to be honest. Running a city is hard work, and I haven't had time to get a Disney plus subscription. My friend Felix I hear is getting one, having dinner with him tonight" said Vanellope
"Well nows your chance to see us" said Anna
"I'll get back to you on that, eventually" said Vanellope
Vanellope left the dressing room after her talk with the princesses not long after.
"Don't worry Elsa, kids still love us. I mean, what does a green alien baby have that we don't?" Anna asked
Ariel was about to answer but Anna quickly hushed her
"Don't answer that, I don't want to know" said Anna
(Back in world designer, Felix and Calhoun's home)
Our main 4 characters as well as all the sugar rush racers were about to sit down to dinner. Felix as promised was showing off his new Disney plus subscription to everyone.
"Now we can acquaint ourselves with all those weird and wacky characters from that Disney site Vanellope goes to. Look at all this stuff. Movies, tv shows, original stuff" said Felix
"I'm curious as to what this Mandalorian show ive been hearing about is. It's like the biggest thing in the character meet and greets" said Vanellope
"Mandalorian? That's a stupid name" said Taffyta
"It's not one of those educational tv shows is it?" Gloyd asked
"No, I heard it's action packed with a good story. That's what the guy with the beard told me" said Ralph
Felix and Calhoun obliged to Vanellopes request and put on the show. Next thing everyone knew they were binge watching the shows 16 episodes, either during dinner or in their own homes getting their own subscriptions to the service. It was a very good show, even if they didn't know much about Star Wars. The only Star Wars experience Ralph and Felix had was an old Atari arcade game back at litwaks which was unplugged long ago, long before the shutdown of the arcade.
Even Vanellope admitted it was cool. So cool that when she actually got to watching frozen, it felt underwhelming. She thought it was enjoyable but she didn't care for the songs much, and didn't really connect with Olaf the talking magic snowman. One thing she knew, this wasn't gonna be a fun talk with Anna and Elsa when she met them again.
