The Incredibles
The life of Mr. Incredible has been flying high as he saves people from danger and protects the world from evil. But after a series of events, it seems superheroes have outlived their usefulness as public outrage against them grows. As a result, the government has spearheaded a project that has transformed superheroes into average citizens including Mr. Incredible (Craig T. Nelson), who is now Bob Parr, the insurance guy. Married to the former Elastigirl (Holly Hunter) with three kids, Mr. Incredible longs for the days of the past, which includes listening to the police scanner with Frozone (Samuel L. Jackson). One day, an opportunity presents itself that would allow him to re-live his glory, but it's actually just a ploy by Syndrome, an inventor who wants the entire superhero business to himself, to eliminate him. A worried Elastigirl follows her husband along with the kids, who have inherited powers of their own, to get him, but soon face something far greater.

Is it just me or can Pixar do no wrong? The 6th Pixar Animated Studios film follows in the footsteps of its predecessors by offering a superior film with crossover appeal between kids and adults. Directed by Brad Bird, who helmed the little-watched "The Iron Giant", "The Incredibles" offers up the traditional hero in peril storyline and improves it through great character development, witty dialogue, and dazzling animation and effects. A variety of locales and situations showcased how far the Pixar animators have come in their work. Above all else though, the movie recognizes the importance of family unity above little squabbles, an aspect that gives it a bit more realism in an animated scene. Quite simply, "The Incredibles" is incredible. 4 stars
