Combining a family-oriented superhero adventure with the brilliant animation of Disney's Pixar (the creators of MONSTERS INC. and FINDING NEMO), THE INCREDIBLES charts new...
more...territory in the technical wizardry of computer-generated cartoons. Using complex angles and a filmic sensibility, the animation feels like live action, and smart techniques such as cuts to 'grainy film stock' give this movie instant sophistication. Writer-director Brad Bird, with his creative storytelling and well-paced character development, does the rest. This tale is set in a slightly futuristic society where superheroes are no longer appreciated (Read: But I didn't want to be saved!) and are forced to assume a very low profile. So, for Mr. Incredible (Craig T. Nelson), his wife Elastigirl (Holly Hunter), and his three fledgling superhero kids, maintaining a lifestyle of mediocrity in order to appear normal causes constant friction. When the opportunity suddenly arises for the Incredibles to use their powers to fight evil, it's trial-by-fire to learn to work as a superteam. Together they must stop the maniacal Syndrome (Jason Lee) from unleashing a murderous robot in a big city. Fast action and violence involving large explosions make this a film that is better suited for older children rather than the very little ones. Yet family themes and comic episodes prevail, with eclectic characters like Edna the fashion designer (voiced by Bird himself) and the iceman Frozone (Samuel L. Jackson) adding extra moments of fun.

Is it Incredible?
Review of The Incredibles (Collector's Edition) by chilipepper27

Advantages: Very entertaining!
Disadvantages: Can drag in some parts for younger kids.

...Pixar, whose past releases include the award winning 'Finding Nemo', along with 'Monsters Inc', 'Toy story' and 'A bug's life'. ~Synopsis~ The Parr family are an average family in an average town living average lives…..actually that's a lie - well the first part anyway….because unbeknownst to the rest of the world, Bob Parr and his wife Helen -who now have three children named Violet, Dash and Jack, used to be the infamous Mr Incredible and ...

No Capes!
Review of The Incredibles (Collector's Edition) by pdoyle007

Advantages: Excellent Story
Disadvantages: Minor characters Steal It

Released in 2004 the incredibles is one of Pixar's latest offerings and is further proof of the ever growing animated band wagon. In a time of big budget explosions and CGI if you're going to get a computer to generate something unbelievable, why not make it obvious that your tongue is in your cheek? The Incredibles is a clever and well written story. It follows the story of two superheros who marry in secret and start a family (Mr. Incredible ... Read review

An Incredible Movie
Review of The Incredibles (Collector's Edition) by mamba17

Advantages: Animation, laughter
Disadvantages: Some boring parts

...most adults would look at The Incredibles and say what a stupid kid's movie, how childish while really they secretly want to watch it. Well I must say that this film is definitely one for the kids as well as the adults, what a marvellous film. It first came out two years ago and was immediately a success. Its quick wit and sarcastic humour made it a film to love and remember. Directed by Brad Bird, the writer and director of the Iron Giant, which ... Read review

One Incredible Family!
Review of The Incredibles (Collector's Edition) by miasmum82

Advantages: Great film for kids and adults alike
Disadvantages: None I can think of

The Incredibles is one of the many excellent offerings from Disney Pixar (creators of such great movies as Finding Nemo, Cars). I have to admit I've always been a fan of the wave of computer generated animations that have arisen in the last decade or so, but even more so because when I tire of endless Peppa Pig, Fifi and the Flowertots, Pocoyo, or other such pre-school animations that would drive even the most childish adult to the brink of insanity ...

Review of The Incredibles (Collector's Edition) by Amy_Coppock

Advantages: fun for all the family
Disadvantages: None

I watched this for the first time in ages last night, and had forgotten how much I love it!!!! It is another one of the Disney and Pixar animation films (along with the likes of Finding Nemo and Monsters Inc). I haven't yet worked out what the clue for the next film is in this one, but if you look at Monsters Inc, Boo has a Nemo soft toy and in Finding Nemo the little boy who is waiting to go into the dentists at the end - I'm pretty sure he's ...

Disadvantages: None whatsoever

...not graduation he's moving from the 3rd grade to the 4th grade! Every day people seem to be finding new ways of celebrating mediocrity" - how else would an ex-superhero feel about regular living! The graphics are out of this world! Every single frame is a feast for the eyes and this married with the soundtrack and perfect performances from the voice actors makes this not only the best animated feature but possibly one of the best films ever made!

A good quality, fast paced animation from Pixar
Review of The Incredibles (Collector's Edition) by gringo154

Advantages: Crisp animation, well written and quality cast
Disadvantages: Very little but not as funny second time round

...all ages (3 - 63) The Incredibles fuses a fun, uncomplicated plot with an all-star voice over to make the experience a good one. Coupled with Pixars increasing skill to make animated characters really come to life with a stunning array of accurate facial expressions, plausible body language and enormous attention to detail. As a Manga fan I really appreciate the work that goes into making animation seem so real without losing the comic book feel. As ... Read review

Disadvantages: as stated above my boys watch it all the time. lol

...christmas) we would buy them the incredibles instead, and we soon found out this was the better choice. My boys are 5 and 3, and this fantastic film kept them both entertained for hours, and by this I mean that as soon as the film finished they demanded to watch it again, and again and again. so to start. The storyline of the film is. To start you see that the world is full of superheros that are forever saving the day, but then due to an ... Read review

Watch-out kids 5-7yrs
Review of The Incredibles (Collector's Edition) by Morwold08

Advantages: Improve imagination of kids
Disadvantages: May get hurt thinking they can do what they see

...7 years old. Even thought the film is superb your kids young minds (which are full of imaginazion) can put them to harm after watching this. It is because after seeing the film they will be dreaming to be one of the super heroes in this movies. Good if they will just try to pretend to be invisible no harm with that. When they try to be Mr. Incredible who is a very strong hero then the trouble can start. My neighbors kid thought he can be like Mr. ... Read review

After the kids watching the film 3 times and myself once we all agreed that this film is really good. I was amazed at how much imagination must ave gone into the film, and the story line was basic and really easy to follow even for my 2year old, as for my 7month old he will sit and watch the bright colours and giggle ...

Advantages: great family film, funny
Disadvantages: couldn't watch it too many times

The reason we bought this is that I cant stand things like teletubbies but want something for the little one that makes some sort of sense. We did find it quite funny in places and deffinately very entertaining. We have a few animated films (Toy Story, Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc. etc.) and while I'm not ... Read review
