I saw this last year when it came out in theaters, but, wanted to re-watch it again on BluRay mainly to see what the bonus features would be. It delighted just as much on the second viewing as it did with the first, especially the "Auntie Edna" short, which was basically an extended take of what happened AFTER Bob dropped off Jack Jack, up to him picking him up. It is just as hysterical as the rest of the movie. The rest of the bonus features feature Brad Bird telling how he got into animation, and, what a labor of love I2 was to make, even if it DID leave the entire PIXAR team exhausted but happy (hmmm, kind of like the ACTUAL labor of love IRL)
A thought DID occur that probably not since Jessica Rabbit, has a cartoon female protagonist elicited such praises of enamoration, and catcalls of "Dayum!!,.. Elastigirl be THICC!!! every time she walked away from the camera. Which caused me to ponder, hmmm, Elastigirl can be ANY shape she chooses to be, and so, she must have CHOSEN her look, perhaps after hanging out with Honey Frozone, and, seeing her effect on the Fro Man, decided to get "Bob Parr in trouble, beggin' for a piece of dat bubble", cuz she knew, Bob "liked his women like Flo Jo". Silly me...
I DID find it interesting that the main villain in Incredible's 2 had their origin story as a direct result of the the early hijinks of the villain in the original Incredible's, and that while their anger was somewhat understandable, it was very much misdirected, and in fact they actually should have been thanking the Parr's for bringing some semblance of justice and retribution for the series of unfortunate events leading to that tragedy.
Anyway, the movie is indeed a delight, and, while some have stated that it wasn't as enjoyable as the FIRST one, I disagree, and, although the stories were similar, as ALL superhero movies are in plot and the "beats" they tend to cover, I think that any let down can be attributed to the fact that in the ensuing years since The Incredible's 1, we have had such an abundance of great animated movies, many indeed from Pixar studios and Brad Bird, that, it's just simple impossible to raise the bar to 'mind blown' in this day and age.
That having been said, I sincerely hope we get MORE Incredible's movies, because there is still plenty of material they could mine was the first family of animated crime fighting keeps catching the bad guys.... pow, Pow, POW!!!!
