A typo on the movie theatre marquis where Tony is dropped off towards the end of the movie reads “A113,” one of the most famous recurring Easter Eggs. Several Pixar producers and animators studied at California Institute of the Arts in classroom A113 and this number appears in every Pixar film.

 

At 1 hour and 58 minutes, not only the film is Pixar’s longest film, but it’s also the longest film for a computer animated movie.

 

Several scenes involving the Screenslaver include rapidly flashing lights, which rose concern for potentially triggering seizures. As a result, many theaters began showing warnings for viewers who were susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.

 

Summary: While Elastagirl has been called on the mission, Mr. Incredible must do the most difficult task of all…watching their kids.

 

The Review: Despite the fact that this film didn’t beat out the first one, it’s still a freakin Pixar fun fest.
