The good:
- The Incredibles!
- It looks like they’ve successfully spanned the difference between the CG of the original and the stuff that can be done today. It looks very nice, but also clearly an Incredibles movie.
- More Elastigirl! Woot!
The problematic:
- I didn’t see anything that really surprised me. Family sitcom, in both situation and comedy. Granted, it’s a short little trailer, and I really don’t want massive spoilers. But I’ve been worried about what they’ll do here, and the answer seems to be “When the wife gets the big important job and the husband has to stay home to watch the kids, hilarity ensues!” — and while that can (and, from the look of things, will) be funny, it’s also not exactly ground-breaking.
Not that anything is going to keep me out of the theaters the weekend of June 15th, but I’m not feeling quite as optimistic as I’d like.

Looks hilarious. The bit about the math is something I’m sure all Boomer and Gen X parents have gone through in the past decade.
+Stan Pedzick "New Math" has been around a lot longer than that, as Tom Lehrer can tell you. Heck, my district shifted from standard "A page of 100 multiplication problems" textbooks to a New Math series (set theory! unions! intersections!) when I got into 4th grade.
