The various films released by Pixar Animation Studios (there's exactly 20 of them now) has become heavily associated with the big heartfelt moments that leave adult audiences reaching for the tissues. Remember the endings of
Toy Story 3 and
Coco? Remember that montage of married life from
Up? Remember every other scene from
Inside Out? Big moments of pathos that pay off well-developed characters and result in moviegoers becoming a puddle of tears are a staple of the studios canon so it's interesting that
Incredibles 2 is the first film from the studio since maybe the first
Incredibles and maybe even
A Bug's Life to not even attempt a moment of overwhelming poignancy, something even recent Pixar sequels like
Cars 3 and
Finding Dory incorporated multiple times in their own storylines.
