Watch the clip below.

Incredibles 2 Blu-ray Clip

Fans waited 18 years for a sequel to The Incredibles, and they finally got their wish with Incredibles 2. The film was a massive hit, surpassing $1 billion at the global box office, so it’s safe to say those eager fans were pleased with the results.

There are probably many rules when it comes to crafting an Incredibles movie, but in the clip above, we learn one very specific rule: balancing the fantastic and the mundane. As producer John Walker says, “You never do something fantastic very long without doing something mundane.” For instance: part of the movie involves Bob Parr, aka Mr. Incredible (Craig T. Nelson) taking cary of his kids – but he’s doing so in an evil lair-like mansion.

Director Brad Bird says it was important to make the family “uncomfortable” in a new place, like all the moving elements within the technologically advanced. “For a story, that’s perfect,” Bird adds. This is only a brief snippet of a much larger featurette that will be included on the upcoming Incredibles 2 Blu-ray, available November 6, 2018. The digital release will arrive slightly sooner, on October 23, 2018. A full list of special features can be seen below.

In “Incredibles 2,” Helen (voice of Holly Hunter) is called on to lead a campaign to bring Supers back, while Bob (voice of Craig T. Nelson) navigates the day-to-day heroics of “normal” life at home with Violet (voice of Sarah Vowell), Dash (voice of Huck Milner) and baby Jack-Jack—whose super powers are about to be discovered. Their mission is derailed, however, when a new villain emerges with a brilliant and dangerous plot that threatens everything. But the Parrs don’t shy away from a challenge, especially with Frozone (voice of Samuel L. Jackson) by their side. That’s what makes this family so Incredible.
