A family of superheroes returns in Disney/Pixar’s Incredibles 2 from director Brad Bird. Picking up immediately after the cliffhanger ending of 2004’s The Incredibles, the sequel opens up with a fantastic action sequence where the Parr family works together to take down a villain. After a fourteen-year wait, it was refreshing to see the sequel not do a time jump. I hold the characters in high regard and would’ve felt cheated had there been a jump.
