AWESOME!!!

Rating: 9/10 (24 January 2019)

5 November 2004. This is one of the best animated feature films of all-time breaking through to the family, comedy, action-thriller movie genre that can compete with live-action movies. The animation, the intelligent script, plot, and humor are all blended into a super format that made the Iron Giant so popular and an instant animated classic. The Incredibles will be one of those movies that will set a new benchmark in animation and perhaps in family movies for years to come. Certainly this movie argues for the elimination of the new Academy Award animation category and allow animated feature films to compete along with the other movie genres on a level playing field. A certainty for a Golden Globe nomination, this movie was awesome, if a bit long and slow in a few places (editing could have tightened it up), but overall, a marvelous effort, exciting, compelling, and funny with a great dose of human values and family values all wrapped up in a retro-contemporary cartoon package just right from the current day. Nine out of Ten Stars.
