At the intersection of "Animated family fare" and "Grown-up entertainment"

Rating: 8/10 (24 November 2007)

Pixar stepped it up for this movie,with the running time of this story of a family of superheroes closing ranks to out-duel some super evil forces,clocked in at just over two hours,which is quite the length for animation,computerized or no. Even though this film,to me,doesn't quite erase memories of better PIxar fare("The "Toy Story"films,"Finding Nemo" or "Monsters INc.")this is still a clever,smart,well-crafted film that all ages of the family can enjoy.
Once scions of society,Superheroes everywhere became the target of obsolescence when lawsuits by rescue-es(And some villains)became too much for a heavily financially-strapped society,and they're forced underground. So goes for the Parr family:Bob(Mr.INcredible),Hlene(Elastigirl),kids Violet(Invisible girl),Dash(Speedster)and JAck JAck(the baby,with hence unknown powers),try to fit into society. But a dark,shady group knows their secrets and tries to smoke them and other former heroes out,which also includes Mr.INcredible's longtime pal and cohort Frozone.
Using the voice talent of Criag T.Nelson(dad),Holly Hunter(mom),SArah Vowll(daughter) and SAmuel L.JAckson(Frozone),among others,director co-writer Brad Bird makes a movie that works on levels that appeal to adults AND kids. It sits,to me,right smack-dab in the middle of Pixar offerings,which would still be better than many animated films.
