Reviews for The Incredibles
As always, Pixar excels with its animation, but what makes this family film even more appealing is the smartness of the script, which is clearly written, end to end, to appeal to adults as well as children.

Top CriticNot only does 'The Incredibles' advance the art of animation, it takes the genre out of the ballpark.
11/05/04
Deliriously smart escapist fare.
11/05/04
Top CriticBrad Bird's richly imagined, retro-moderne homage to the superhero-fueled daydreams of his youth creates a vibrantly original mythology.
11/05/04
Families will flock to and enjoy this movie, but it's likely only adults will really get it.
11/05/04
Top CriticThe Incredibles is beautiful to look at, but even more lovely beneath the computer-generated surfaces.
11/05/04
The Incredibles, the latest animated wonder from Emeryville's Pixar Animation Studios, will intrigue adults as well as 7-year-olds. In fact, the adults might be more intrigued.
11/05/04
Top CriticA real banshee of zip and zoom (and often terrific design), The Incredibles takes off excitingly whenever it moves fast.
11/05/04
An exceptional film in many ways.
11/05/04
A visual stunner.
11/05/04
A genuine laugh riot.
11/05/04
Entertaining from start to finish.
11/05/04
A spirited state-of-the-art riff on vintage James Bond movies and the superhero ethos of the 1950s and '60s.
11/05/04
At 115 minutes, this is the longest computer-animated cartoon ever, and the setup might test the patience of younger viewers. But what a payoff!
11/05/04
Even by Pixar standards, The Incredibles is unexpected, a mold-breaking computer-animated adventure that pleases the eye, bends the mind and, ultimately, lifts the spirit.
11/05/04
Top CriticA visually thrilling experience.
11/05/04
An astonishingly smart satire of superheroes, James Bond movies and, just for fun, socially engineered mediocrity.
11/05/04
It's witty, clever and pushes the technical limits of computer animation but it's as much an imitator as it is an innovator.
11/05/04
Like the little boy in The Incredibles who hangs around, slack-jawed, just to see what his superhero neighbours will do next, kids can't seem to get enough of this hyperactive carry-on.
