“ I am not calling for a boycott of Incredibles 2 , or to change the movie . It is very well done , and the stroboscope visible light are an significant point in the plot of ground . I just wish well Disney / Pixar and theaters alike would issue a warning that the moving picture contains several scenes with stroboscope lights . Video games , some medicine video , live concert , theme car park attractions , and even consumer electronics provide warnings about strobe lighting effects and the voltage for gaining control and other adverse effects . Why not have the same matter be done for a movie targeted at tiddler ? ”
