After trying to defeat the Underminer (voiced by John Ratzenberger), where the first film left off, Elastigirl (voiced by Holly Hunter) is tasked with campaigning for superheroes to be legalized again, while her husband, Mr. Incredible (voiced by Craig T. Nelson) is left to care for their children Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack (voiced by Sarah Vowell, Huck Milner, and Eli Fucile, respectively). But when a new antagonist dubbed "Screenslaver" threatens to thwart Elastigirl's mission, it will take all of the Incredibles, Frozone (voiced by Samuel L. Jackson), and a new breed of supers (voiced Sophia Bush among others) to save the day for everyone.
One example of the film's amazement was more humor than the previous one. Then, a major takeaway is that Elastigirl was given a more distinguished role, one that gives female superheroes a bigger lead in the story, and may persuade studio executives to give women more credit in coming projects. The animation and special effects were exemplary, and respective supervisors Dave Mullins and Bill Watral should be commended. The old and new cast had a lot of eagerness in their voice roles. Composer Michael Giacchino was exceptional, creating sounds that highlighted the protagonists' victories and menacing during attacks by the antagonists. Lastly, similar to live-action superhero films, Incredibles 2 highlighted differences between teammates and ultimately united them together when needed most.
After waiting for over ten years for answers, Incredibles 2 bested me to my core. Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures and Pixar Animation Studios have done it again. May Rick Dicker's original voice actor, Bud Luckey, rest in peace. If anyone wants to see how well a superhero film does in the animated universe, Incredibles 2 is just the film to watch.
