The Incredibles

Movie · 2004

A Pixar superhero adventure following a family with secret powers who must come together to stop a revenge-driven villain. The heart and humor are wonderful, but the action is sustained and genuinely intense, putting every family member including the children in real danger.

Most comfortable for kids 7 and up, with sensitive viewers likely doing better closer to 8 or 9.
