“Incredibles 2” is a computer-animated superhero film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures in 2018. It is the sequel to the highly popular 2004 film “The Incredibles” and is directed by Brad Bird.

The film picks up right after the events of the first movie, where the Parr family, also known as the superhero family “The Incredibles,” is still adjusting to life as a crime-fighting team. However, their activities are still illegal, and the government has banned superheroes. They face challenges in their civilian lives as well, trying to maintain a normal existence.

The family gets a chance to regain their superhero status when they are approached by Winston and Evelyn Deavor, siblings who run a telecommunications corporation. Winston is a fan of superheroes and wants to change public perception by making them legal again. He believes Elastigirl (Helen Parr, voiced by Holly Hunter) is the best choice to become the face of their campaign. So, while Bob Parr (Mr. Incredible, voiced by Craig T. Nelson) takes care of their children Violet, Dash, and baby Jack-Jack, Elastigirl becomes the public superhero.

As Elastigirl battles a new supervillain named Screenslaver, the family must face their own challenges, especially dealing with Jack-Jack’s emerging superpowers. The film is a delightful blend of action, comedy, and heartwarming family dynamics, with themes of teamwork, family unity, and embracing individual strengths.

“Incredibles 2” received critical acclaim and was a huge box office success, becoming the highest-grossing animated film of 2018. It was praised for its animation, humor, and emotional storytelling. The sequel continued the legacy of the first film and further solidified “The Incredibles” as one of Pixar’s most beloved franchises.
