Yet, a spate of lawsuits filed by those who don't appreciate their work eventually puts them out of business with all given new identities, jobs and homes under a federal relocation program. Fifteen years later, Mr. Incredible is now insurance adjuster Bob Parr who, with Elastigirl -- now known as stay at home mom Helen -- are trying to keep a low profile and hope that their kids -- wallflower Violet (voice of SARAH VOWELL), the rambunctious Dash (voice of SPENCER FOX) and toddler Jack-Jack -- don't discover the truth despite their obviously inherited super powers.
Even so, Mr. Incredible is restless for his old life and thus sneaks off at night with Lucius, a.k.a. Frozone (voice of SAMUEL L. JACKSON) for some anonymous super heroics. That hasn't escaped the attention of Mirage (ELIZABETH PENA), a mysterious woman who hires Mr. Incredible to deal with some advanced robotic droids. His bigger concern, however, turns out to be Syndrome (voice of JASON LEE), a new super villain who controls the droids and is driven by a deep-seated agenda.
When Helen learns of Bob's actions, she's furious. Yet, with the aid of special costume designer Edna (voice of BRAD BIRD), Elastigirl sets out to rescue her hubby, unaware that the kids are in tow and ready for their first taste of superhero action.
Those scenes and others featuring perilous moments and other close calls may be a bit unsettling, suspenseful or too intense for very young viewers, although older kids will probably eat it up. The film's various villains have standard-issue, comic book style bad attitudes, while there's some loud arguing between a father and mother that their kids witness, and in one scene, the father mistakenly thinks that his entire family has been killed.
Some of the stylized action and fighting, etc. may be enticing for some kids to imitate as might the uttering of some colorful phrases. Some brief and non-explicit, but sexually related dialogue is present, while a husband and wife have some playful, romantic moments and one woman acts and talks in a somewhat sultry fashion. Beyond that, a few characters briefly drink.
