Ever since the late 1990s when CGI became increasingly popular among films, Pixar has always been the dominant studio churning out quality animated films for all ages. Such a filmography includes the award winning Toy Story series, Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc, and one of the more recent films, The Incredibles. The Incredibles tells the tale of an ex superhero turned paper-pusher nine to five worker who rekindles his relationship with fighting crime and takes up his mantle again defending the world from danger.
Along the plot line of the film, Mr. Bob Incredible gets fired from his normal job and goes back to his old ways of being a superhero in order to fight this mid-life crisis of his and fill the rut that was empty ever since he stopped. During that time, he is hiding all of this from his ex-superhero wife and children because he doesn't want them to be put in harm's way. Eventually, the entire family finds out and suits up because of course, when two superheros mate, they're obviously going to create super-children. This creates an interesting family dynamic that allows the Incredibles to work together as one big super-team.
One of the most intriguing and redeeming qualities of this film so the fact that it's marketed toward children as an animated movie, but it appeals to adults as well. The humor is surprisingly mature and the script is incredibly well written so all of that leads to an enjoyable time for the entire family. With The Incredibles, Disney and Pixar prove once again that they know how to make excellent and appropriate films for the entire family to enjoy. Not only is The Incredibles the archetype for animated films, but it is also a great example of a superhero film and could be seen as an inspiration for the many comic book adaptations that are coming out currently. The Incredibles is a film that everyone can enjoy and I can not recommend it enough.
great movie!
