From the Academy Award:-winning creators of Finding Nemo (2003 Best Animated Feature Film) comes the action-packed animated adventure about the mundane and incredible lives of a house full of superheroes. Bob Parr and his wife Helen used to be among the world's greatest crime fighters, saving lives and battling evil on a daily basis. Fifteen years later, they have been forced to adopt civilian identities and retreat to the suburbs where they live "normal" lives with their three kids, Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack. Itching to get back into action, Bob gets his chance when a mysterious communication summons him to a remote island for a top secret assignment. But he soon discovers that it will take a super family effort to rescue the world from total destruction. Exploding with fun and featuring an all-new animated short film, this spectacular 2-disc collector's edition DVD is high-flying entertainment for everyone.
Editor's Note
Combining a family-oriented superhero adventure with the brilliant animation of Disney's Pixar (the creators of MONSTERS INC. and FINDING NEMO), THE INCREDIBLES charts new territory in the technical wizardry of computer-generated cartoons. Using complex angles and a filmic sensibility, the animation feels like live action, and smart techniques such as cuts to "grainy film stock" give this movie instant sophistication. Writer-director Brad Bird, with his creative storytelling and well-paced character development, does the rest. This tale is set in a slightly futuristic society where superheroes are no longer appreciated (Read: But I didn't want to be saved!) and are forced to assume a very low profile. So, for Mr. Incredible (Craig T. Nelson), his wife Elastigirl (Holly Hunter), and his three fledgling superhero kids, maintaining a lifestyle of mediocrity in order to appear normal causes constant friction. When the opportunity suddenly arises for the Incredibles to use their powers to fight evil, it's trial-by-fire to learn to work as a superteam. Together they must stop the maniacal Syndrome (Jason Lee) from unleashing a murderous robot in a big city. Fast action and violence involving large explosions make this a film that is better suited for older children rather than the very little ones. Yet family themes and comic episodes prevail, with eclectic characters like Edna the fashion designer (voiced by Bird himself) and the iceman Frozone (Samuel L. Jackson) adding extra moments of fun.

"[V]isually splendid and ethically serious....The movie is also refreshingly quiet, using music sparingly and showing as much attention to aural nuance as it does to visual detail." 11/05/2004 p.E1Los Angeles Times
"[A] piece of animation that's involving across a spectrum of comedy, action, even drama....Blessedly funny, there is also a surprising air of poignancy about much of it..." 11/05/2004 p.E1 USA Today
"[O]ne of the year's most clever and visually arresting computer-animated films, enlivened by a well-developed and credible cast of characters who just happen to be superheroes." 11/05/2004 p.1E Entertainment Weekly
"[A] great story, a rich micro-universe of pixel-driven cartoon characters with more depth, complexity, and emotional maturity than those in most live-action dramas....Indeed incredible." 11/12/2004 p.89 Rolling Stone
"[A] film that breaks fresh ground....Bird has crafted a film -- one of the year's best -- that doesn't ring cartoonish, it rings true." 11/25/2004 p.100 Uncut
"[Bird's] ingenious self-penned script is heaving with brilliantly realised characters, snide putdowns and sharp one-liners that enhance the head-spinning action sequences with razor-sharp wit." 01/01/2005 p.155 Sight and Sound
"[A] light comedy at heart....[The film] manages a great deal of genuine excitement..." 01/01/2005 p.55-6 Premiere
"The storytelling is as witty as it is brisk." 02/01/2005 p.50 |

5 of 5 Simply Incredible Friday, July 15, 2005
A Viewer from Maine
My family laughs everytime we see this. It is truly a multi-level work and a must see. Don't have kids? Still funny and rivetting. But if you have a family - or remember when you were growing up - it is priceless. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Incroyable! Tuesday, January 18, 2005
A Viewer from California
You probably already know that "The Incredibles" is one of the best films for nearly all ages ever made. The widescreen format is the only way to get the full cinematic effect of this beautifully detailed film, in which every splash of water and rustle of leaves is rendered with passionate artistry. The DVD version also includes "Jack-Jack Attack", a terrific short that makes this amazing film even better. Get it now and be the envy of your friends! Was this review helpful?
