In the same league as Pinocchio and Roger Rabbit

Rating: Null/10 (7 November 2004)

A seminal film, combining Cinéma vérité, dead on satire, hilarious situations with perfect characterizations and breathtaking action. Wait a minute! This is a cartoon, right? Incredible doesn't adequately describe its subtleties and nuances. Can any father not laugh out loud when Bob Parr pulls into his driveway and the tiny car he's driving diesels to a stop? Or when Helen feeds the baby? You've seen kids like Violet at your local High School: bored, lonely and alienated. And the Boss: throw him through the wall. Oh, that's what happened. Naysayers beware: if you don't love this movie you've "never felt the slightest affection for the human race" (paraphrased from Sébastien-Roch-Nicolas Chamfort)
