All I can say is thank goodness there's a Disney logo at the beginning of this film, because it's sheer entertainment! Pixar has definitely done it again - I don't think I could really pick a favorite Pixar film, but The Incredibles is fantastic in so many different ways, so it's definitely a contender for the best (it's just missing that "Disney moment" that would put it over the top). As usual for Pixar, the story is incredibly (sorry, couldn't resist) creative and original. Superheroes are in a "protection program" after countless lawsuits because of the side effects of their daring deeds, and Mr. Incredible and his family try to live a normal suburban life. Of course, someone from his past returns to haunt him, putting the whole family (who each have cool powers) into action! I could go on and on about the film's design, from the excellent characters (with cartoon proportions, yet extremely realistic hair) to the sets (such as their retro home furnishings, which are perfect!). There's tons of action, set to awesome music (gotta get the soundtrack), balanced with some quiet moments, too (such as scenes in the office, dinner at home, and so on). I laughed hundreds of times, and cheered the heroes on to victory! It would have been even better if I had shed a tear or two.Labels: disney, movies, pixar
