"The Incredibles"
Did you ever think a superhero could be, well, too super for one town? This is a conundrum faced by the former Mr. Incredible, Bob Parr. Cast out of the super society and into suburbia, Parr settles down with the former Elastigirl, Helen, where they produced a trio in Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack. Pushing pencils in a insurance company desk job, it just so happens his city of the month is once again in peril. Who better to save the world than...THE INCREDIBLES!
"The Incredibles" ushers in so many new elements in an animated feature era, which they have helmed since "Toy Story". The animation is tear-enducingly polished, and leaves you awestruck. From framing to sweeps, its big feature cinematography makes you forget you're watching a cartoon.
The meat of the movie, beefing up both the visual and audible signature adult content, PIXAR maintains a happy medium, where kids can follow along as well. It's fast paced and involving, yet extremely easy to follow, and subsequently get lost in. Voice talents in Craig T. Nelson, Jason Lee, and Holly Hunter are on point.
"The Incredibles" is PIXAR's way of flexing their maturity muscle. As this movie is akin to an animated modern comic book movie, with old school comic flare. In typical PIXAR fashion, you come away with a super message. With strong family values and togetherness, you can always overcome adversity, no matter how pressing.
Ladies and gentlemen, I am convinced. PIXAR can do no wrong. With that, I highly recommend this movie to anyone and everyone reading this almost pointless review. Pointless, because the words "Go see it", while as simple as it should be, don't credit the ingenius accomplishments of Bird and crew.
Incredibles, indeed.
