One of the best movies of the year!

Rating: 10/10 (15 November 2004)

I was fortunate enough to see The Incredibles this past weekend. My family was the odd bunch. My mother, stepfather, sister (age 25), my boyfriend (age 27), and myself (age 22). At first I was apprehensive about seeing a "kids" movie at 3:00pm, but I will say it was quite the experience.
In my many years of film watching this was the first animated film where I almost never heard children talking. Getting bored. Crying. Etc. They seemed just as enthralled as the adults.
I believe this movie is something special. I feel like many Disney cartoons have attempted to bridge the gap between kids movie and movie for all audiences. I feel though that this is the first case where they have been 110% successful. Adults can full relate to these people's lives -- which for being Super Heroes, I feel Mr. Bird made them so real that it all seemed actually plausible.
The Incredibles will hold it's own for years to come. I also expect it to stay #1 at the box office for quite awhile too. And lastly, any year where The Incredibles and Fahrenheit 9/11 are two HUGE front runners for the Academy Award for Best Picture. Well, that is a good year my friend. A very good year.
