Consensus: Even though The Incredibles is more violent than previous Pixar offerings, it still a witty and fun-filled adventure that almost lives up to its name.

Combining a family-oriented superhero adventure with the brilliant animation of Disney's Pixar (the creators of MONSTERS INC. and FINDING NEMO), THE INCREDIBLES charts new territory in the technical wizardry of computer-generated cartoons. Using complex angles and a filmic sensibility, the animation feels like live action, and smart techniques such as cuts to "grainy film stock" give this movie instant sophistication. Writer-director Brad Bird, with his creative storytelling and well-paced character development, does the rest. This tale is set in a slightly futuristic society where superheroes are no longer appreciated (Read: But I didn't want to be saved!) and are forced to assume a very low profile. So, for Mr. Incredible (Craig T. Nelson), his wife Elastigirl (Holly Hunter), and his three fledgling superhero kids, maintaining a lifestyle of mediocrity in order to appear normal causes constant friction. When the opportunity suddenly arises for the Incredibles to use their powers to fight evil, it's trial-by-fire to learn to work as a superteam. Together they must stop the maniacal Syndrome (Jason Lee) from unleashing a murderous robot in a big city. Fast action and violence involving large explosions make this a film that is better suited for older children rather than the very little ones. Yet family themes and comic episodes prevail, with eclectic characters like Edna the fashion designer (voiced by Bird himself) and the iceman Frozone (Samuel L. Jackson) adding extra moments of fun.

Reviews for The Incredibles
"This is a blast to watch! The bursts of color are phenomenal, and the action is fast and furious."
"The film has a fair amount of humor, but without the special effects, which are dazzling, at times, it's a pretty ordinary story."
The setttings in The Incredibles are endlessly inventive, the action exuberant, the laughter frequent and the characters a bottomless toy box of delights.
Brad Bird has crafted a sleek and original homage to the derring-do of our most cherished superheroes.
Original adventures such as The Incredibles are the ones that will have families watching them over and over and over again, over the years.
An unfortunate use of Pixar magic to tell a tired story in a typical world.
Bird's intricate, colorful and super-kinetic action is a cyber equivalent of eye candy. It’s also loaded with empty calories.
A film so miraculous and so far above its competitors that the Academy Award for Animated Feature Film is no longer a contest.
This remarkably entertaining and meaty motion picture is all eye candy and goofy entertainment for children, but underneath lies a biting denunciation on a number of contemporary topics.
Disney and Pixar’s latest animated collaboration is nothing less than… incredible. It’s hard to come up with another adjective...**
A hilariously fun romp through the everyday lives of comic-book superheroes.
Mix X-Men with True Lies and Spy Kids then add the retro design of The Powerpuff Girls all tied together with the magical technology of Pixar...
It’s a great and memorable romp that will leave your family feeling super.
A family-friendly rallying cry against conformity, far more daring than the tastelessness that passes for daring in Team America, but undercut by excessive length.
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.
The Incredibles est encore un bon produit provenant de Pixar [mais] dommage que l’histoire ne soit pas toujours très inspirante et ne suscite pas l’intérêt escompté.
