    Brings together a perfect marriage of visually spectacular computer animation but delivers a sci-fi-comedy-adventure that's funny, thrilling, and heartfelt with the ultimate meaning of family.
  • January 21, 2010
    Great animation about a couple of retired superheroes who have moved to suburbia for a quiet life to raise a family. However the hum drum of ordinary life gets to them and when the dad gets kidnapped, the family set out to rescue him. My fave scenes are the baby on the conveyor b...( read more)elt and the car in the driveway. When is the sequel?

    A frequent flaw of superhero movies, it seems to me, is that they spend too much time emphasising the superiority of the hero and not enough time humanising them. Mr Incredible, however, with a middle-aged spread, a shitty job and a family to support, is instantly recognisable as...( read more) 'one of us'. Because of this, ironically, this animated superhero is more human than his live-action counterparts and infinitely more endearing. The other thing that really impresses me about the film is the voice cast, a perfect blend of the offbeat and the obvious: Holly Hunter, Samuel L. Jackson, Craig T. Nelson, Elizabeth Peña, Jason Lee, etc. As if writer/director Brad Bird didn't deserve enough credit already, he also lends his voice to one of the most amusing characters in the movie, Edna Mode, super-suit designer, impervious to the word 'No'. James Bond aficionados will enjoy the megalomaniacal supervillain and the nods to composer John Barry in the score. Mr Incredible's fight with the rogue Omnidroid is the funniest thing I've seen for a long time. A brilliant family film; smart but never smug.

    Deserving of its reputation as top draw Pixar, this whipsmart deconstruction of all things superhero, grows on repeat viewing.
  • December 26, 2009
    When superheroes are outlawed by a government sick of lawsuits and compensation claims, Mr. Incredible finds himself stuck in an dreary insurance job pining for the good old days. Expecting The Incredibles to be a witty, satirical parody of the superhero genre I was slightly disa...( read more)ppointed to find it a more an affectionate homage than anything else. The best sequences are definitely the ones showing Mr. Incredible's frustration with his dead end job, but at the end of the day, this is a kids film so I was probably just expecting too much. It has that plasticky quality that CGI films always have, but it has some nice Gerry Anderson/James Bond themed images and the usual mix of references and in-jokes that are common to this type of thing; the Return Of The Jedi chase sequence probably being the most fun. I can't say I laughed out loud at any point during the film because it lacks the sly wit of Toy Story, but it's always amusing, pretty to look at and above all, fun. I could've lived without the inevitable touchy-feely "be everything you can be" message that infers that as long as you love yourself, everyone else will love you too that kids films ALWAYS have but otherwise, it's all good, clean family entertainment.

Nick Schager, Lessons of Darkness

The year's foremost animation showstopper. full review

November 9, 2004
Anthony Lane, The New Yorker

The folks at the movie's heart are exaggerated way beyond our capacities but not quite beyond our imaginings. The title is unjust; these are the very slightly credibles. full review

Pixar's new animated action-comedy, about a superhero family stuck in middle-class suburban exile, comes tantalizingly close to greatness. full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

Filled with the kind of funny detail that has become a Pixar trademark. full review
