Incredibles 2

The first Incredibles movie is one of my favorite Pixar movies so the sequel had a lot of to live up. Unfortunately, it doesn’t quite succeed. The family drama feels a bit forced this time around and the marionette like character designs cross over into the uncanny valley a bit too much for my taste. Even so, Incredibles 2 definitely has its own charms. The mid-century modern aesthetic is on point and Elastigirl’s nocturnal pursuit of Screenslaver is one of my favorite Pixar sequences of all time.
