It ain't easy being a superhero; just ask the Incredibles. Not only is there all that world-saving to be done, but these days the public aren't just stupid or helplesss - they're litigious, too. So the former Mr Incredible, his wife Elsatigirl (voiced by Holly Hunter) and their three equally unusual children are hiding out in pseudo-1950s suburban hell, trying to pretend they're normal. At least until a suitably evil baddy comes along...
Director Brad Bird (The Simpsons, The Iron Giant) has given the Pixar animation studio one of their biggest successes yet. The DVD extras are also incredible including two shorts, extensive commentary and enough'making of' material to render thorough viewers practically capable of making their own cartoon by the end. My kids must have watched this at least a dozen times now and don't seem to have lost interest - bargain!

Review of Incredibles, The (2004)
Advantages: Funny both for adults and children alike, great characterisation and plot, another Pixar classic Disadvantages: Maybe a little less engaging for younger viewers than previous Pixar films, and jokes aimed more for older audience than in Toy Story or other Pixar outings.
