Meet the Supers!

Rating: 10/10 (30 March 2007)

What's so admirable about Pixar Animation Studios is how they pay attention to the most important factor, story and the art of storytelling. The Incredibles continues the studios' long line of films that excel not only in animation, but in quality as well. Filling the screen with highly detailed and stylized images, the story introduces us to a family of superheroes. After they are forced to go undercover and live a normal suburban life, they must join and work together in order to defeat the maniacal Syndrome. The movie has a great plot that not only explores many common family issues but has lots of action and adventure that will please the young and old alike. The characters are a blast to watch because they are so well-drawn and full of life. Aside from our family of superheroes, there's fashion diva Edna Mode, "oh-so-cool" Frozone, and obnoxious boss Gilbert Huph (perfectly voiced by Wallace Shawn). Even the smallest of characters stand out (such as Bomb Voyage). Pixar made a great investment in hiring Brad Bird. He's a very talented man who has created a popcorn masterpiece.
