Mum's Monday: The Incredibles 2

This is a direct continuation of the first film and I love that the villain, a miner, is called ‘Underminer’ (John Ratzenberger). I can see why the Incredibles are in trouble but I can also see how they wanted to help. It is sad that it didn’t work out as well as it could have done.

There is an amazing attention to detail in the animation where Mr Incredible (Craig T. Nelson) picks up a piece of broccoli with his chopsticks and it falls back into the takeaway box. The conversation around the dinner table is clever and interesting to listen to. It is difficult deciding between the law, fairness and good parenting.

This film is strong in making you see that there are two sides to every story. Mr Incredible has to be careful, Elastigirl (Holly Hunter) versus the role of wife. There are some very in depth conversations in this film. I like the new house, it is homely. With a hint of fun.

This film sparked a few debates among fans with its take on a stay-at-home dad, not in the sense it shouldn't be depicted in a children's movie, but for the fact that it was shown with delicate care and attention to make it as accurate as possible whilst keeping it true to the superhero lives the family lead. Mr Incredible slowly growing tireder and tireder until he's at the point he asks for help says a lot, and is a valuable lesson to be taught, highlighting just how modern Pixar is. And yes why would they change maths?

Also I don’t like the idea of the forced, waiting, looking for crime or something bad to happen. Well that is a twist. Meanwhile at home, that poor raccoon but at least else where the train was saved.

It is all happening, from a returned car, a swimming pool and one almighty sneezing fit. The baby Jack-Jack (Eli Fucile) has super powers. I like that the baby was given a ball of ice to lick/chew on.

I knew something was wrong, a disgruntled family member also it is, although not nice. Clever that Elastigirl’s flaw has been found, it turns out it is the cold. I don’t like how an innocent person has been sent to jail, even if the ‘Pizza’ was cold. 

What an ‘Incredible’ action packed and embarrassing ending. This is funny to watch play out right near the end 

The Pixar theory that is linked to this film is that the magic from ‘Brave’ transformed the family into superheroes in the first one and has carried on through this second film also.
