WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

The super-powered Parr family – father Bob aka Mr. Incredible (Nelson), mother Helen aka Elastigirl (Hunter), teenage daughter Violet (Vowell), young son Dash (Milner), and infant Jack-Jack – struggle to fit into a world where supers are still not allowed to fight crime. However, an opportunity presents itself when a pro-super billionaire (Odenkirk) enlists Elastigirl to help put superheroes back in the spotlight, which she does while Bob stays home to take care of the children – and in doing so, discovers Jack-Jack’s extraordinary powers…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

It’s the most anticipated Pixar sequel to date, and with the current saturation of superhero movies being at an all-time high, it’s never been a better time for the Parrs to make their triumphant return.
