Pixar

Rating: 8/10 (8 April 2005)

As an animator of this film i would like to comment on some of the negative responses been made.
I am aware everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but The Incredibles was made purely for an action purpose, we ditched the moral side of previous Pixar stories alongside the flurry montage sequences and concentrated on the WOW factor, i.e. explosions, villains etc... This film was designed to fit a specific era, with characters, scenes and plots. 1950's era to be exact. This was to be appealing to both adults as well as children.
The Plot. What strong, flowing, plots do you see in most action movies? To be quite honest, if there is one, the audience tend to drift away from the moral of an action movie along with the plot due to the visually stimulating images and flashing/strobing sequences of guns and explosions. The plot was made thin to fit a criteria/genre. You guessed it, ACTION!
Being mainly a children's animation production company, Pixar unfortunately have to omit some of the blood and guts that otherwise may be installed. For goodness sakes, we don't want the children to fear the action, we want them to enjoy it.
As for the plot. Family, sticking together, a famous plot that drives most of Pixars films. A trademark of our company, and the plot is established and constructed throughout the slower half(beginning) of the picture, building up action nearer to the end.
What everyone seems to misunderstand is that companies and films need to vary with each picture. They need to complete a broad spectrum of films, not to just concentrate on the same genre all the time.
Anymore Questions i'd be happy to answer
