The Incredibles (DVD, 2005, Full Frame)

Pixar somehow continues to make animated movies that are smarter, funnier and even occasionally more emotional than many of the live-action pictures released these days. "The Incredibles" is the latest triumph from the production company and a welcome return for Brad Bird, the director of the still-underrated "Iron Giant".

The film, while not offering as many emotional moments (the film is essentially an action movie) as Pixar's prior effort, "Finding Nemo", still contains a lot of heart. The portrayal of the family unit is superb and yet, rather realistic. The kids aren't entirely new characters (the shy girl), but the way that the writers and animators have tweaked all the characters make them feel fresh. The film also provides some nice, respectful and clever goofs on the superhero genre, while providing a solid tale of individuality and family. "The Incredibles" also represents another beautiful picture from Pixar, as the animation is gorgeous. Once again, Pixar also knows how to choreograph a dazzling sequence incredibly well, such as one moment where Elastigirl gets caught in a series of doors and still has to fight off her attackers.

The voice work is fantastic, as Craig T. Nelson's voice work capably handles the humor, confidence and emotion of the role. Holly Hunter's portrayal of a superwoman trying to hold her household together is also first-rate. Sarah Vowell and Spencer Fox are also great voicing the kids. Jason Lee ("Mallrats") is also quite good voicing the villian. One of the film's real gems, however, is director Brad Bird's vocal work as Edna E. Mode, the fashion designer who works on the supersuits worn by the heroes.

If "The Incredibles" is flawed in any way, it's that it's a few minutes too long. At nearly two hours, editing down the picture by 5-10 minutes might have helped pick up the pacing. The film's ending also keeps going on a bit long. Not that this is a fault, but the film is also more violent than other recent animated fare (simply because this is an action movie), and some young children might find it scary.

Overall, while "The Incredibles" doesn't feel like it has quite the depth of "Nemo"'s memorable adventure, this is still another exceptional effort from Pixar, and one of 2004's best films.

The Pixar magic has certainly blessed the film industry for families and adults alike. Even though I thought this movie was a bit too long and more mature than most children can appreciate, we find out that this 1 hour and 55 minute film allows the adults to watch something different, teenagers to stay with the family longer than usual, and small ones to be astounded by spectacular advances in cartoon magic.

The story is one of frustration when the incredible family duo get transferred out of the hero business.

Stay tuned until the very end. You will not be let down.

I'll give this a 4/5 since I really liked it but was a bit too long to hold my attention all the way through anytime soon.

The movie Incredibles is soon to be a family favorite of all ages. The movie is centered around a family who's parents used to be Great SuperHeroes before they decided to break for family life. Unknowingly the children as well have super powers and are ready to take on the world. Whenever there is some trouble that needs solving, the IncrediFamily will be there will there multitude of head turning powers. I bought the movie with the intention of my 18mo old baby girl liking the animation but its just not her kind of movie. i would recommend for children and parents alike, just not small children.

Darn, This Movie Beat the Fantastic Four Movie Out !!

Now everyone thinks the Fantastic Four are a copy of the Incredibles!

Instead it is the other way around... the Incredibles are almost a homage to the FF!

This movie is great, buy it on DVD and replay it at will!!!

IT IS THAT GOOD!!

I saw the cast at Disney World, and everyone was ga-ga over them... I had to have my picture taken with them too!!

Just a big kid at heart here!

Because payment was not handled through PayPal, it took longer to make payment and to receive my item. I received the item in great shape when it finally arrived. I feel that this vendor needs to reconsider using PayPal for payment purposes. When I've won a bid or bought a product outright, I like to go ahead and make my payment.

My great niece and nephew love this movie! I had another copy that had gotten scratched up and was getting stuck in certain spots. I was so excited to get a brand new copy! It's a great movie and good for a variety of ages. I highly recommend it.

I was buying movies for myself and wanted to get one for my son. I chose this one because we didn't have it, boys are a target crowd and i enjoyed it also. It has old style theme in it from the 40s of 50s here and there. It's a good family film

My children love this movie and that is why I wanted it for the home. Great for long distance travel too. Great film, clean, and great action for all those boys out there!!!

I love the cheap price and the option to buy now. i payed less with this buyer then i would out of the dvd sales bin at the store. its a great movie and a great seller

Whole family loved this movie! From 5-35, we all enjoyed watching this movie! One of the best animated movies we've seen!
