The Incredibles

These are lovely characters, it's a witty script, there's lots of laughs.

Incredible and action-packed fun for the entire family.

The sleek computer animation is spellbinding as usual.

Bombastic finale aside, it's a cut (and an age-range) above the simplicities of Finding Nemo.

Brad Bird strays from the Pixar formula but still delivers enough colour and thrills to keep the faithful happy.

The year's foremost animation showstopper.

Tremendously fun. [Full review in Spanish]

The best superhero film of all time not named The Dark Knight, The Incredibles is Brad Bird’s explosive Pixar debut, a film that repositioned the hero narrative into believable context and expanded the possibilities of what a Pixar movie could be.

[Brad] Bird gets in plenty of digs about cultural coddling and conformity while creating a familiar family dynamic and then transforms it into a spandex suit version of a seventies James Bond thriller.

The Incredibles has a thoughtful consideration of adult relationships, a romanticism about the need for superheroes, and a caution against the decline of Self.
