Last week Disney-Pixar unveiled the first trailer for The Incredibles 2, director Brad Bird’s follow-up to his beloved 2004 animated superhero comedy, and well, the reaction was rather incredible.
Entertainment Weekly is reporting that the trailer racked up over 113 million views by the end of the weekend, making it the most-watched animated trailer of all time, and the seventh-highest viewed trailer ever. Given those kinds of numbers, it seems highly likely that Disney has another huge hit on its hands this coming summer.
“Everyone’s favorite family of superheroes is back in “Incredibles 2” – but this time Helen (voice of Holly Hunter) is in the spotlight, leaving Bob (voice of Craig T. Nelson) at home with Violet (voice of Sarah Vowell) and Dash (voice of Huck Milner) to navigate the day-to-day heroics of “normal” life. It’s a tough transition for everyone, made tougher by the fact that the family is still unaware of baby Jack-Jack’s emerging superpowers. When a new villain hatches a brilliant and dangerous plot, the family and Frozone (voice of Samuel L. Jackson) must find a way to work together again—which is easier said than done, even when they’re all Incredible.”
The Incredibles 2 is set for release on June 15th 2019.
