How about just The Okays?

Rating: 6/10 (19 November 2004)

A superhero family, under duress from multiple lawsuits brought by otherwise-well-meaning citizens of the city they protect, goes into deep hiding, a Federal Witness Protection program for those with superpowers.
But the patriarch of the family, Mr. Incredible, chafes under his now-mundane existence, complete with a job as a health-insurance claims manager. Poor Mr. Incredible (Craig T. Nelson)! He pines so badly for the good IL' days that he and Frozone (Samuel L. Jackson) secretly listen to police communications via a scanner, then rescue people and stop bad guys.
On the other hand, Elastigirl (Holly Hunter) is very happy with her new suburban life as Helen Parr. She and Bob (nee' Incredible!) have three kids: Dashiell (who can run really really fast), Violet (who can turn invisible and create force fields), and baby Jack Jack, who appears to have no powers - yet. She's content, Elastigirl is, although she doesn't like it when the family has to move - again - because Bob got fired from another job, usually owing to the use of his superduper powers.
So one day when Bob gets a message from a supersecret organization that wants him to thwart an evil robot that can learn from its own mistakes... well, Bob sees no reason to mention it to Helen. Or that he was just fired from his crappy job. Nope, he decides that the company is sending him out of town for a "conference." Will Mr. Incredible indeed save the day? Or will Elastigirl (and crew) have to save his sorry butt for him?
This Pixar film was a little uneven for my tastes. The first half of the movie dragged noticeably; this half didn't seem very well paced at all. In fact, I even committed the cardinal sin of checking my watch a few times - that's how dull it was. But during the second half, things really picked up. The action was much more ubiquitous, with some of the most eye-popping scenes in animation. Scenes that made one forget that the movie was animated, which is basically the point of the Pixar animators.
But because of the slow first half, this movie didn't charm me as much as previous Pixar films had effortlessly done. In fact, the difference between the two halves of the movie is so stark it almost seems as if two directors were responsible for the movie.
There are also a few emotionally strong scenes that your youngest kidlets might not be too fond of, aside from the cartoon violence. There is a scene in which Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl argue loudly, a scene that might hit a little close to home for some children. And because animation is looking more and more realistic, it may be more difficult for kids to see this as a cartoon rather than a live-action movie, to a certain degree, so even scenes of typical cartoon-superhero violence might be a little intense. As it is, this is Pixar's first PG-rated movie, so be warned.
