In July 2018 the writer and director of ‘Incredibles 2’, Brad Bird, doubled down on his views that just because a movie is animated does not mean it is just for kids when he called out concerned parents over Twitter for referring to Incredibles 2 as a “kids movie”, saying, “With all due respect, it is NOT a ‘kids movie.’ It is animated, and rated PG.”
Later in November 2018, Bird called out iTunes for classifying both Incredibles movies as “kids movies” saying, “Our classification should be no different than adventure films from Marvel or Lucasfilm just because we’re animated. What would you call sexism or racism for an art form? Medium-ism?”
