On the occasion of the release of “Ralph 2.0”, his French voice iconic speaks of that hero, grand child, lack of love, and he was pleased to find it at the heart of its dive sharp and poetic in the world of the internet. Meeting… AlloCiné : A word about your involvement in the dubbing at Disney in general and Ralph in particular… François-Xavier Demaison : It is that of happiness. I love the bonhomie of this hero. I loved working on the first installment and then I found Disney with the film Coco, on which I made a small voice. You know, it is always an honor to go into the Disney universe to be an actor. How an actor of dubbing joined it or different does it of the actor “short” ? These are two different trades that are not incompatible. There is a commitment in the dubbing, a commitment of the body in particular, which is important. A commitment more technical as it should be in the sores of the character, here in its american version. There are the technical, the acting, and then there is creative real-time… Ralph 2.0 “breaks the internet code” at the same time as the Disney studios break their codes to them, particularly in the staging of their princesses… there’s a modernity that comes from Disney, which is pretty obvious. The princesses are over there waiting, they take things in hand, they are going to even save the skin of our Ralph. The studios are well suited indeed. In this regard, the “princess” is not only to small girls but also little boys, and then not only for children but also for adults. It comes to modern fables of our time period that we are bluffing and make us happy. Has the picture of Vice Versa on emotions, the film explains to us what the internet is and how it works, in a manner accessible and entertaining… They don’t give lessons, it is smart enough, they are pretty, small, messages. This is not because you are criticized on the networks that you are a good person. This is not because you have a lot of followers that you have friends. All of this, it is pretty, and the film has several levels of reading. What is your own relationship to the internet or more specifically social networks? I have a lot of fun to post things on instagram, I have 56000 followers and comments always very benevolent. I took a step back vis-à-vis Twitter, I was to 150000 followers. I must admit that I prefer the energy of instagram than of twitter. Historically this may be the first time that a Disney classic sees a sequel on the big screen so close. You have a feeling about this ? Ralph is a character that lends itself to it. For the creativity of the studios, it is a playground of extraordinary, because the first one was focused on video games, a little retro, against the modern, more violent. Today this journey in the internet… Sincerely, I hope that there will be a number 3 soon ! There has what to do with Ralph. Interview to Alpe d’huez by Laetitia Ratane on January 21, 2019.
