The marriage of Disney and Pixar have given us some of the best animated stories in a long time, and with each new release they set the bar for the next movie just a little higher. But with The Incredibles, they grabbed that bar and threw it as high as a superhero could send it. With an all-star cast of voices, this movie moved past even some live action films with a hero theme. The action just never stops and keeps you on the edge of your seat all the way to the end. When the superheroes are sued for damages, during a rescue, they retire and start to lead normal lives but that doesn't last long and they must save the world once again. With names like Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl and Frozone you can't do any thing else but fall for the comic book inspired characters. Seeing them save lives and do things that are completely natural to them makes this an enjoyable and breathe taking ride. The addition of regular family problems helps bring this group closer to the audience and also expands on the idea that even people, who seem to have everything, still have problems just like the rest of us. The likeability of the characters and the financial success of the film would almost guarantee a sequel, but so far nothing is in the works.
This movie is geared towards both sides of the audience, the children who love the animated action films and the adults who love them too. The one added feature that is on the DVD is the short film called Jack-Jack Attack, which fills in the story of what happens while the baby is with the sitter, its funny and its great as an added bonus. If you've never seen this film because you had no interest in seeing an animated movie, or you think that it's just for kids, you should give it a try it is well worth the time and effort.
