The "X-men" of animation

Rating: 7/10 (12 April 2005)

***1/2 Craig T Nelson, Holly Hunter, Samuel L. Jackson, Jason Lee, Spencer Fox, Sarah Vowell, Eli Fucile, Maev Andrews, and Elizabeth Pena. Directed by Brad Bird.
Brad Bird who directed "Ice Age" a horrible attempt at a comedy or even a movie for that matter. I could barely stand to stay and watch the rest of "Ice Age". If not for Dennis Leary and Ray Romona's voices the movie would have been a total loss. The worst of Birds directing career to date.
On the other hand "The Incredibles" is not his worst but possibly his best. Bob Parr/Mr. Incredible (Nelson)is being sued by a suicidal man who did not want to be saved by him. Losing the case Mr. Incredible is forced to live a normal life. Now a wife Helen/ Elastigirl (Hunter) and three kids Dash (Fox), Violet (Vowell) and little baby Jack-Jack (Done by both Fucile and Andrews) with the help of fifteen years later they family is now ordinary. Him and his buddy Frozone (L. Jackson) now spend their days or nights listening to police scanners. Until Mirage (Pena) asks his assistance on a island far away, Bob eager says yes and finds out who he is working for Syndrome (Lee) his arch Nemesis. Syndrome is out to destroy all the super heroes so that he can be the best there is. "The Incredibles" the latest in Pixar animation is the best since 2003's "Finding Nemo" . The Incredibles is a Incredi-story, has an Incredi-cast, and is Incredi-funny. Truly is INCREDIBLE
