I haven’t seen the new one yet. We obviously need a symposium on this. I’ll try to overcome my heat malaise to reply soon. Sorry.

I saw this this morning, and it's wonderful. It's great to see Elastigirl in "super" mode and I adored Violet's snarkiness, and I loved the look that passed between Helen and Lucius when Mr Incredible's work was described as messy and expensive. Possibly the best Pixar film ever. {Spoiler - click to view} I was slightly annoyed by the massive spoiler created by the name of one of the characters. It couldn't have been more obvious if they'd put a flashing red arrow over the villain's head, and I spent most of the film waiting for the heroes to catch up. The result was that the big reveal was more of an "at last" than a "what‽" Having now seen the film, I'm absolutely gobsmacked that {Spoiler - click to view} the spoiler was meant to be a surprise twist. I had that one pegged right from the first "here are the new characters" articles that were kicking around in the spring.

Yes, I agree, but on the other hand we are cynical old adults, well-steeped in the conventions of superhero storytelling, so we fully expect there to be such a twist. It's probably more of a surprise if you're six. Or at least, there'll be kids in the audience too young/caught up in the story to spot it, and kids who who did spot it who felt all grown-up and clever when the reveal happened because it's the first time they've worked out who the villain is in advance. And annoying older siblings who'll tell them it was obviousand scoff at silly kid's films. And who would deny parents everywhere the joy of that argument??

For reasons beyond my understanding, Incredibles 2 isn't released in Germany until end of September. But as I happen to be in Rotterdam this weekend, I did see an English version (with Dutch subtitles) here yesterday Evening. Firstly, how adorable is the short film Bao? It had me close to tears, well done Pixar. And for the film itself, I loved it and think Pixar excelled themselves. Incredibles 2 might easily become my new favourite Pixar film. Mr Incredible as stay-at-home dad, Elastigirl as working mom and the kids saving the day .
