Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2 is going online with Yesss -- not an exclamation, but a new character to be voiced by Taraji P. Henson.

Yesss is a "algorithm" -- a very hip and stylish one at that -- who guides Ralph and the princess Vanellope Von Schweets as their next adventure takes them onto the internet. Disney showed a clip featuring the new character at the D23 Expo in Anaheim, California during Friday's animation panel.

Henson is new to the cast that that reunites John C. Reilly and Sarah Silverman -- but that's not all it reunites. Walt Disney Animation studios is bringing together all the living original voice cast who've played Disney princesses for a hilarious extended scene that it previewed Friday night at D23.

Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2 is due in theaters in November 2018.
