The Incredibles 2 Trailer

  • The first shot is an ident logo of Disney, appealing to all the Disney fans.

  • The audience are reminded of the childish personality of Dash when he exclaims "Is this all vegetables?!" - this phrase anchors the stereotype of Dash being a fussy and moody young boy.
  • The scene changes abruptly from 0:26-0:27 when Bob says "What elephant (in the room)?", to Elastigirl jumping onto a helicopter in mid-air. The audience are able to straight away identify what the 'elephant' is and immediately introduces the story.

  • The man in the suit challenges the gender stereotype of males always being the leader by saying "Elastigirl is our best play". This gives a positive message of females being just as strong as men, which will teach younger girls that women can do anything that men can.
  • The scene cuts to an ELS of a grand, modern house surrounded by tall trees. The use of the loud, heroic trumpets, creates a majestic atmosphere and infers to the audience that this house will be their refuge and act as their 'saviour'. This is emphasised by Dash' remake: "Woahhh!"

  • At 1:20, that is when the audience become aware that Jack-Jack has powers and builds excitement as they wonder what powers he has.
  • Dash' remark of "Is she having adolescence?" creates comedy for the audience, as not only does it relate to young boys who have older, female, teen siblings, but also to parents who understand the struggles of dealing with typical teenage problems. 
  • Furthermore, Bob struggling to look after Jack-Jack, whilst the mum is away, creates comedy as it can appeal to women who have had children as they know how tiring it is to look after a child. This creates a realistic situation as it supports the stereotype that men struggle to look after children as well as women do. This can also be scene at 1:29 where a MLS is used to show Bob's flimsy hair, overgrown beard and purple bags under his eyes.
