lots of fun

Rating: Null/10 (23 March 2005)

Clever, warm, and very funny animated feature from the creators of Toy Story and Finding Nemo is an in-depth look at the life of superheroes after they get old and have to retire from the 'business' of saving lives. Engaging tale centers around the super strong and super cocky Mr. Incredible, his feisty and elastic wife, and their constantly bickering children, all of whom must 'adapt' to civilian life after the government places a worldwide ban on superheroes. Loses some momentum as it nears the middle, but it's filled with exciting visuals, excellent vocal talents—especially Jackson as Frozone—and more than enough wisecracks, some of which aren't aimed squarely at children. A real treat that's sure to please Pixar fans. ***
