Disney warns 'Incredibles 2' may cause seizures

Disney is issuing a warning to moviegoers that Incredibles 2 may cause epileptic seizures. While the House of Mouse may have just enjoyed a record-breaking opening weekend, with $180 million in box office receipts and the highest animated movie opening ever, not all fans are thrilled. The Disney-Pixar film about a family of superheroes includes several scenes with the villain Screenslaver using a weapon that involves flashing lights.

I 'm a big fan of Pixar and Brad Bird, but the insensitive use of strobing lights in Incredibles 2 was unacceptable. My wife spent most of the movie with her head buried in her jacket scared that she was going to have a seizure. This was NOT a fun time at the movies. @DisneyPixar pic.twitter.com/66nxq321oe

After the film debuted Friday, fans took to Twitter to vent their outrage. “TO ANY FRIENDS WHO HAVE EPILEPSY, SEIZURE DISORDERS OR LIGHT SENSITIVITY: please be careful if you’re seeing the Incredibles 2,” advised one Twitter user. “I unfortunately had an issue and don’t want this happening to anybody else.”

The Epilepsy Foundation urged Disney on Saturday to issue a warning, and Disney has complied, sending notices to movie theaters to post. Fans then took to Twitter to thank Disney for their swift action.
