EIFF, Disney·Pixar's Incredibles 2 with animator Fran Kala

The long-anticipated sequel of the beloved Disney Pixar film The Incredibles sees everybody’s favourite superhero family slip back into the super-suits and back into action. This is animated entertainment of the highest quality, achieving that wonderful balance between thrills-and-spills and laugh-out-loud humour, The result is a superhero adventure for all of the family.

The sequel picks up moments after the first film ended, with the Parr family of superheroes facing up to the villainous Underminer. The story then takes us back into a fantastical world where the use of super powers is illegal, forcing super folk to get ordinary jobs and live ‘normal’ everyday lives.

Written and directed by Brad Bird (who also made the 2004 original, and again provides the voice for memorable fashion designer Edna Mode), Incredibles 2 sees Helen (voiced by Holly Hunter), as Elastigirl, continue to fight crime and campaign for the return of “Supers” in society, while Bob (Craig T. Nelson), aka Mr. Incredible, stays at home to look after their super children. But the Parrs, along with their longtime friend and ally Frozone (Samuel L. Jackson), soon have to take on a new villain, the Screenslaver.
