'Incredibles 2' Triggers Photosensitive Epilepsy in Susceptible Theatergoers
A sequence of flashing lights in the record-grossing animated movie had unintended consequences.
By Brian P. Dunleavy


June 19, 2018

If you’re one of the roughly 4,000 Americans with photosensitive epilepsy, going to the movies may not be as simple — or fun — as you’d like to think. At least that may be the case if the Disney Pixar smash hit Incredibles 2 is on your must-see list.

That’s because the film contains scenes with sequences of flashing lights that may cause problems for those with the condition, according to moviegoers’ accounts posted on Twitter. The Epilepsy Foundation says those with photosensitive epilepsy are prone to seizures “triggered by photic stimulation” or “induced by light.”

Uh oh.  Maybe those who are susceptible should cover their eyes with their capes during that sequence.

Oh, wait ...
