~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 Elastigirl, superheroes who fought crime on a daily basis - that is until things went awry for the 'supers' as they were known across the world, who became bombarded with lawsuits and were eventually forced into an 'ordinary life'.
But Bob is far from happy with the daily grind and is desperate to get back to the excitement of being a superhero. So when an ominous letter arrives for Bob one day, he wastes no time in squeezing himself (literally!) back into his superhero costume. But little does he know that it's a trap which was set by a 'self-made' super, named 'Syndrome', formerly known as Buddy - who is out to get revenge for being ridiculed when he was younger.
And soon the whole family of supers are joining forces to save Mr Incredible from Syndromes evil plan….but will they succeed?
~My Thoughts~
This is another fabulous creation from Pixar animation studios for Walt Disney pictures. We've come to expect the best from these guys, and that's because they always deliver the goods! Perfectly polished and brimming with humour, along with a great story and faultless animation, this film is another stunning creation from Pixar. And although I really like this film, it's not one of my favourites from Pixar, and I'm not quite sure why, I just didn't find it quite so memorable as the other films by the same creators, especially 'Finding Nemo' and 'Monsters Inc', but saying that it's still an awesome movie that I really enjoyed.
This is the sixth animated film by Pixar, the story was originally developed for Warner Bros, but after they shut down its animation division, Brad Bird moved to Pixar and took the story with him.
The film appeals to a wide audience, but in my opinion it's better for age 5 and over as it can drag a bit in some parts, and some of the humour is aimed at a slightly older age group. The DVD is also presented really well, it comes in a duel-ambary case with great artwork and a separate reflective card sleeve, that is the same picture as the front of the DVD, really nice to look at.
The special features on the disc are also fantastic and will keep you entertained for hours! A favourite of mine is 'Boundin', a short film about a sheep with a beautiful coat, who bounds along proudly…until one day it gets sheared! Really funny! And 'Incrediblunders', I love the outtakes Pixar add at the end of the films, and so do my kids - they were in hysterics watching these! There are some really great extras to watch, which are both interesting and funny.
~Special features~
The first disc: Along with the film, there are also the filmmaker's audio commentaries. The extras disc: •Introduction - Brad Bird gives an introduction to the extras on the disc. •Deleted scenes - Shows all the films deleted scenes and has intro's to them. •Jack Jack attack - A Pixar animated short made especially for the release of The Incredibles, showing what happened when Kari was left baby-sitting Jack Jack, a really funny short film! •The making of the Incredibles - A documentary about making the film, and features about 30 of the crew members. •More making of the Incredibles - Another longer documentary about how the film was made. •Incredi blunders - Fantastic! The outtakes of the film. •Vowellet: an essay by Sarah Vowell - Which is a documentary about the life of Sarah Vowell, a writer who did the voice of Violet Parr. •Character Interviews - The actors and actresses interview the characters. •Theatrical trailer - The Incredibles film trailer. •Mr Incredible and pals - A Mr Incredible cartoon spoofing cheesy superheroes from the 60's. •Mr Incredible and pals with commentary. •NSA files containing info about the supers. •One to watch is a short film directed by Bud Luckey called 'Boundin', which is fantastic! •'Boundin' - with commentary by Bud Luckey. •Who is Bud Luckey? A four minute documentary about the making of Boundin.
~Trivia~
A cameo from Doc Hudson from another Pixar movie 'cars', can be seen parked on the left of the screen at 1.40:27 into the film, (although cars was released after the Incredibles - but the development of Cars was well under way at this point.)
The film won the Academy Award for 'Best animated feature' in 2005.

Review of The Incredibles (Collector's Edition) (DVD)
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 and ... ...follow towards other superheros. In the end they are forced underground and have to agree to never be supers again.
We forward 15 years and Mr. Incredible is at a very low ebb. The world is going to pieces around him, he's stuck in a dead end job and he's piled on the pounds. His only enjoyment is sneaking out at night to fight crime secretly but even this can't last, suddenly he gets a call from a mysterious organisation who need his help and he's ...

...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 ... ...whole family around you.
The Incredibles starts off by introducing you to a few characters; these are Mr Incredible, Elastigirl and Frozone who are Supers. Supers are people who have powers that help people everyday. Then we see a typical day for Mr Incredible, saving people, dealing with thugs and trying to get his No 1 fan Buddy away from him. Now, fifteen years later, Bob and Helen Parr used to be these superheroes but have been forced into living ...

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 ... ...on a different level.
The Incredibles is really the only feature length film Mia will really watch yet (but I look forward to the family filmfests as she gets older!). Therefore it is my new favourite! I've always enjoyed this movie, and with Cars being my prior favourite, I recently purchased the collector's edition box set containing both movies. This set cost me £20 in Asda, but as I say, this was with Cars included. It's currently retailing ...

DVD Description
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 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.
