Incredibles 2 is a 2018 American animated superhero film written and directed by Brad Bird. The movie was produced by Pixar Animation Studios for Walt Disney Pictures and serves as the second installment in The Incredibles franchise, following the 2004 original. Holly Hunter, Craig T. Nelson, Sarah Vowell, and Samuel L. Jackson return to voice their characters from the first film, while Huck Milner, Bob Odenkirk, Catherine Keener, and Jonathan Banks are added to the cast. The story centers on the Incredibles attempting to rebuild public trust in superheroes while managing their personal lives.
After the success of The Incredibles, Bird delayed work on a sequel to focus on other projects. He aimed to differentiate this script from other superhero media released since the initial film, emphasizing family relationships over typical genre elements.
Incredibles 2 made its debut in Los Angeles on June 5, 2018, and opened in U.S. theaters on June 15, 2018. Critics responded positively, praising the animation quality, humor, voice performances, action scenes, script, and soundtrack. The film earned more than $1.2 billion globally, ranking as the fourth highest-grossing movie of 2018. During its theatrical run, it stood as the second most successful animated film and the 15th-highest-grossing film ever made. It also became the top-grossing animated film in the United States and Canada, and the highest-earning Pixar production until Inside Out 2 (2024).
The National Board of Review honored the film as the Best Animated Film of 2018. It was nominated for Best Animated Feature at the 76th Golden Globe Awards and 91st Academy Awards, though it lost both to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. In 2019, it won the Kids' Choice Award for Favorite Animated Movie. A follow-up, Incredibles 3, is set for release on June 16, 2028.
