Mixing the history of the super hero genre and re-inventing it

Rating: Null/10 (25 March 2005)

Taking the super hero genre and transferring it to Pixar animation is a brilliant idea. The writing, the wit, the fast pace and the incredible technical aspects associated with the film's action is sensational. I loved this movie in the best traditions of family entertainment. Creator Brad Bird has made a film that took me back to my youth in terms of my memories involved with watching such classic shows as 'Batman' and 'The Incredible Hulk' and at the same time, mixed it with elements of my experiences of watching Disney animation from the late 60's to the mid 70's and this hybrid of mixing popular culture from the past with the technology of today is the best definition of "re-invention" that we have had in a very long time.
