A few years ago at a roundtable for movie Tomorrowland I sat next to Brad Bird and he told me very quietly that he was working on the Incredibles 2 movie. Well, it is nearly here. The Incredibles 2 bursts into UK cinemas on 13 July 2018. I expect great things from this movie not just because the first was brilliant but also because it is a Pixar film and Pixar has never disappointed me.
The story
In Incredibles 2, Helen (voice of Holly Hunter) is called on to lead a campaign to bring Supers back, while Bob (voice of Craig T. Nelson) navigates the day-to-day heroics of “normal” life at home with Violet (voice of Sarah Vowell), Dash (voice of Huck Milner) and baby Jack-Jack—whose superpowers are about to be discovered. Unsurprisingly it’s a lady in the lead role in this animation, in the year when women are showing they can do anything they want. I love this twist in the Incredibles 2 tale.
Their mission is derailed, however, when a new villain emerges with a brilliant and dangerous plot that threatens everything. But the Parrs don’t shy away from a challenge, especially with Frozone (voice of Samuel L. Jackson) by their side. That’s what makes this family so Incredible.
