Once you get past the ridiculous and “who cares?” artist introduction
to the film and a promising Pixar short that turns out to be equally ridiculous,
the film you came to see, Writer/Director Brad Bird’s Incredibles 2, is superb
in both story and production values.
The voices of Holly Hunter, Craig T. Nelson, Sarah
Vowell, Huck Milner and Eli Fucile make up the superhero Parr family, who are
out of work because superheroes have been outlawed.
A wealthy entrepreneur (voice of Bob Odenkirk) comes to
their aid with a campaign to reverse the superhero ban, but wants to feature Holly’s
Elastigirl and Craig’s Mr. Incredible is sidelined as house-husband to care for
the kids.
While everyone in the family is excellent, Catherine Keener shines as the voice of the entrepreneur’s very creative sister and Brad Bird himself is hilarious as the voice of the family’s costume designer Edna Mode.
If you are an animation fan, Incredibles 2 is a
must-see. If you’re not, see it
anyway.
I give it a 4.6 out of 5.
