Incredibles 2 is an animated superhero adventure that continues the story of the Parr family, a family of superheroes forced to conceal their powers. The narrative picks up immediately after the first film, with the world still grappling with the legality of 'supers'. The plot primarily follows Elastigirl as she is recruited to help bring superheroes back into the public eye, leaving Mr. Incredible at home to manage the children, including baby Jack-Jack who is rapidly developing a multitude of unpredictable powers. The film explores themes of family dynamics, gender roles, and societal perception of exceptionalism. It is aimed at a broad family audience, offering a mix of action, comedy, and heartwarming moments, though some content may be intense for very young viewers.
Things to Consider
Additional Context
Best For Ages
Parental guidance is suggested for children under 8, and the film is generally suitable for ages 8 and up. The MPAA rates it PG for 'action sequences and brief mild language'. However, sources like the Australian Council on Children and the Media and parent reviews suggest that frequent intense action, peril, and disturbing character transformations can be frightening for younger children.
Good to Know
Parents should be aware that while the film is animated, the intensity of action sequences and peril is significantly higher than many other animated features, potentially overwhelming very young children. Discussions around themes of societal control, media manipulation by the Screenslaver, and the legality of superpowers could be opportunities for family discussion. The 'queer coding' of certain characters may be a point of discussion for families depending on their values and openness to such interpretations.
