Combining
a
family-oriented
superhero
adventure
with
the
brilliant
animation
of
Disney's
Pixar
(the
creators
of
MONSTERS
INC.
and
FINDING
NEMO),
THE
INCREDIBLES
charts
new
territory
in
the
technical
wizardry
of
computer-generated
cartoons.
Using
complex
angles
and
a
filmic
sensibility,
the
animation
feels
like
live
action,
and
smart
techniques
such
as
cuts
to
"grainy
film
stock"
give
this
movie
instant
sophistication.
Writer-director
Brad
Bird,
with
his
creative
storytelling
and
well-paced
character
development,
does
the
rest.
This
tale
is
set
in a
slightly
futuristic
society
where
superheroes
are
no
longer
appreciated
(Read:
But
I
didn't
want
to
be
saved!)
and
are
forced
to
assume
a
very
low
profile.
So,
for
Mr.
Incredible
(Craig
T.
Nelson),
his
wife
Elastigirl
(Holly
Hunter),
and
his
three
fledgling
superhero
kids,
maintaining
a
lifestyle
of
mediocrity
in
order
to
appear
normal
causes
constant
friction.
When
the
opportunity
suddenly
arises
for
the
Incredibles
to
use
their
powers
to
fight
evil,
it's
trial-by-fire
to
learn
to
work
as a
superteam.
Together
they
must
stop
the
maniacal
Syndrome
(Jason
Lee)
from
unleashing
a
murderous
robot
in a
big
city.
Fast
action
and
violence
involving
large
explosions
make
this
a
film
that
is
better
suited
for
older
children
rather
than
the
very
little
ones.
Yet
family
themes
and
comic
episodes
prevail,
with
eclectic
characters
like
Edna
the
fashion
designer
(voiced
by
Bird
himself)
and
the
iceman
Frozone
(Samuel
L.
Jackson)
adding
extra
moments
of
fun.
