A Family Ready to Save the Day--A Summary of Pixar's The Incredibles

Rating: 10/10 (15 March 2005)

Meet the Mr. Incredible, a superhero in a world where superheroes saving the world used to be a public, ordinary part of everyone's day. Flash forward fifteen years to Bob Parr--the same man, but now a superhero forced to stay in disguise due to the public uproar over his acts of heroism--who said saving humanity would be pricey? Bob may not be in the papers any more, but he's still out there, doing his best to make people's lives a little easier--as an insurance salesman. He comes home to his wife (ex-hero Elastigirl) and his three children--Dash (who can run at hyperspeed), Violet (who can become invisible and create force-fields), and the youngest, a baby who has the most remarkable power of all--that you'll have to see the movie to figure out.
To the outside world, they're a regular, all-American family. But unbeknownst to their neighbors, co-workers, and friends--they're The Incredibles. And they're here to save the day.
