Incredibles 2

2018

Elastigirl springs into action to save the day, while Mr. Incredible faces his greatest challenge yet – taking care of the problems of his three children.

Ages 8+Source checked

Why this age? Frequent cartoon superhero danger, suspense, property destruction, hypnotic mind control, kidnapping-like peril, and a backstory involving murder and grief may frighten younger children, though violence is non-graphic and the film is humorous. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.
