I can't even begin to say how much I enjoyed watching The Incredibles again on DVD! I loved the movie in the theater, but I think I enjoyed it even more at home since I could focus and appreciate all the fantastic things about the film. I was totally sucked in by the scene where the missiles are chasing Helen's plane - the character acting is so dramatic! I also got such a kick out of moments such as Dash's giggle when he realizes he's running on water, not too mention the most creative end titles of practically all time. The bonus disc is packed with awesome materials. The usual deleted scenes that most DVDs include are really enhanced with long discussions (much longer than the scenes themselves) by Brad Bird explaining the evolution of the scene and its demise. Brad gets so worked up about everything - his energy is intense, just like a kid talking about some new toy or TV show (I think Brad is definitely Dash from the movie!). There are great looks at other production details, such as "acting room" videos (where the animators film themselves as reference material), producing animatics (which seems like such a fun job), and the scoring of the film (which I realized is full of 5/4 jazz, so I ordered the soundtrack right away). Of course, Boundin' and the new Jack-Jack Attack are also included, making this possibly the best Pixar DVD ever!Labels: disney, dvds, pixar
