Why is this so popular?

This film is from another from the much acclaimed Pixar company which have made other hits such as Finding Nemo, A Bug's Life and Monsters Inc, and F.N. and B.L. were pleasant enough (M.I. was pretty poor) so it was slightly unexpected to see Pixar deliver us this dull and unoriginal script for a superhero flick.
The Incredibles lacks the intelligent humour which has made so many animated movies in the past decade appeal to all members of the family and it tries to make up for this with poor references to things parents might know and it works with the concept of superheroes who can't just use their powers and have the glory in the world we live in. This is a good concept for a movie to work from as it hasn't been tackled particularly successfully in the past but unfortunately, this doesn't do the job any better and we are left wondering how such a mundane and 'going by the numbers' movie has made so much money. But then we realise, any society which can enable rubbish such as Titanic, Harry Potter and Wedding Crashers to make money will give any movie a chance.
I guess I'm in the minority with these views but I'm sure people will come round to my way of thinking and make the movie industry deliver us better comedy than this tripe.
