Incredibles 2-Kids’ Movie Review
Our favorite superhero family is back! Bob/Mr. Incredible (voice by Craig T. Nelson), Helen/Elastigirl (Holly Hunter) and their three kids; Violet (Sarah Vowell), Dash (Huck Milner) and baby Jack-Jack (Eli Fucile). In this film Elastigirl is sent on a special mission and is separated from the family. Reluctantly, Mr. Incredible stays home and takes care of the family duties, while Elastigirl is hard at work. Initially things don’t go very well when Mr. Incredible discovers Jack-Jack’s unique super powers, Dash’s difficulty with math homework, and Violet’s love life problems. However, when the family and Frozone (Samel L. Jackson) realize that a mysterious villain is in town, they must reunite to use their powers and work together to save the world.
