Auntie Edna

Auntie Edna has quietly become one of the more dependable comedies currently available in Australia on Disney Plus, and in the US on Disney Plus. The runtime earns every minute, with nothing here that feels like padding. With 275 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Brad Bird is the obvious draw, but the whole ensemble earns its laughs. Available now on Disney Plus — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Auntie Edna is worth clearing space for. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate Auntie Edna from the crowd. Taking place during the events of Incredibles 2, Edna Mode babysits Jack-Jack. Brad Bird and Craig T. Nelson lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2018. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Auntie Edna holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in Auntie Edna. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Brad Bird anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
