"Normal? What do you
know about normal? What does anyone in this family know about
normal?" - Violet
Why watch this? ... a Disney film
that is one of the best super-hero films out
there.
Plot Summary:
Following a government ban on superhuman activities, superheroes
Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl, now Bob and Helen Parr, are
living a quiet suburban life with their super-powered children.
Bob misses his hero days and secretly moonlights as a vigilante
with his friend Frozone, leading him to accept a mysterious
invitation for a top-secret mission. Soon, his family must come
together and embrace their powers to face a new threat and
protect the world.
Dad's Preview:
Disney and Pixar have long dominated the CGI cartoon universe and deservedly so.
This major hit stands out because it is about the "modern
family". We have all the relatable dynamics: a Dad who hates his "safe"
job, a Mom who feels lost as a homemaker, an emo teen daughter
to hates everything, and a stubborn
son that won't listen.
That's a family dynamic I can relate to! Except they
all have super-powers - even the baby, who shoots lasers out of
his eyes!
