The Specials
They're not incredible, they're just special.
Directed by Craig Mazin
Produced by Mindfire Entertainment, Brillstein-Grey Entertainment
A lighthearted superhero parody that finds humor and heart in a dysfunctional team of misfits struggling to stay together despite their clashing personalities.
America's seventh best superhero team, the Specials, are a group of geeks and oddballs. Lifelong fan Nightbird joins the group just in time for the group to get a new line of action figures. But the members' extreme personalities and personal issues threaten to rip the group apart.
