Incredible!, 22 Mar 2005
Fifteen years ago, facing crippling lawsuits from an ungrateful public, the world's superheroes were forced into retirement. For Bob Parr (played by Craig T. Nelson), erstwhile Mr. Incredible, it has been a tough time going from savior of the world to unappreciated working stiff. And then suddenly, like a bolt from the blue, comes the chance to get back into the superhero game. But, something isn't right here, and the only way that Mr. Incredible is going to see this through is with the help of his family. [Color, released in 2004, with a running time of 1:55.] OK, I must admit that when I went to the theater, I was not expecting too much, but boy was I in for a wonderful surprise! I like the movies that Pixar has made so far, but this one is definitely the best of them all! So, when the DVD came out, I just had to get it RIGHT AWAY! Again, I was far from disappointed. This DVD set has a load of extras, including the animated short film Boundin' (as seen in the theatre), and a new short, Jack-Jack Attack. Jack-Jack Attack shows you what happened to babysitter Kari when Jack-Jack started to exercise his Super powers, and it is hilarious. So, let me just sum up by saying that this is a great movie, one that you should own. Also, this is a great DVD set, which makes it a fantastic deal at any price. I am very glad that I bought this DVD set, and highly recommend it to you!

Perfect Pixar again, 5 Feb 2009
15 years after he stopped being a superhero, Bob Parr finds his job and life boring and when he is called to investigate a robot, his superhero life remerges.
The people behind Pixar are never to be underestimated. Whether they are exploring human's regard of life (Wall-E) or examining the sadness of children outgrowing their toys (Toy Story) the imagination is always juxtaposed against an important real life meaning, which is also now a huge dedication to Walt Disney and this particular picture brad Bird for a fast and relative action adventure.
Though The Incredibles' inside message may not be as obvious or as significant as those mentioned, it is relative when looking at the grand scheme of things.
Starting off with Mr Incredible stopping a crime whilst in a rush to get to an important destination we are thrust into a cool and collected approach to the life of a superhero. The car is cooler than the Bat-mobile and the strength of the character is better than the Hulk's, not to forget the humour is better than both franchises put together.
Then the important messages come across. An unfortunate turn of events sees superheroes forced into hiding and are no longer able to fight crime and save lives. The rising levels of crime and the poor approach by the force shows a political nasty side of the law, choosing their pride over people's well being.
What is perhaps most touching about this picture is the look on heroes. Seeing a personal hero in the flesh and being turned away without regard for feeling is a crushing moment and the relevance is significant as it can change a person into the worst possible being.
The Incredibles is a fast flowing adventure, looking at the importance of saving lives and also the importance of family. Though the family side of this film feels cheesy and over dramatic at turns, there is no denying its significance, especially considering the target audience is family. Typical family members include the obsessive controlling mother, the girl with a crush and the boy with mischief on his mind. Though occasionally stereotypical, there is plenty of humour and a change in character comes a certain point in the film, which again separates Pixar from other films.
The humour and adventure are frequent justifying the purpose and though the messages aren't as strong as other releases, it is there and as relevant as ever
8.5/10
