It's hard to keep a super-hero down.

Rating: 8/10 (10 April 2005)

Disney and Pixar flirt with greatness in this entertaining computer-animated feature. Bob Parr(Craig T. Nelson) and his wife Helen(Holly Hunter) do their best to settle down to suburban life with their three children. Bob being Mr. Incedible and Helen as Elastigirl were superheros that fought crime, saved lives and thwarted evil on a daily basis until law suits and public disapproval forced them to life mundane. Fifteen years since the glory days, Bob working in an insurance office by day at night sits in wait with his super pal Lucius(Samuel L. Jackson)a.k.a. Frozone listening to the police scanner in hopes to respond to the call and hastily leave the scene.
Bob receives a mysterious message from the winsome Mirage(Elizabeth Pena)to help save the world by going to a tropical island to do battle with an over-sized robot called Omnidroid. His mission becomes more than he can handle and to the rescue comes his wife Elastigirl and their two teen offspring Dash(Spencer Fox) and Violet(Sarah Powell)who have inherited their own super abilities. The villain in this plot to destroy the world is Buddy Pine(Jason Lee)a super wannabe who calls himself Syndrome.
Rounding out the super-family is baby Jack Jack(Eli Fucile). Other characters featured are:Bomb Voyage(Dominique Lewis), Mrs. Hogenson(Jean Sincere), Underminer(John Ratzenberger) and Honey(Kimberly A. Clark). Cartoons are not just for kids anymore. Kudos to director and writer Brad Bird. THE INCREDIBLES is wonderful, exciting, funny and well...incredible.
