Pixar has never failed to impress me and everything done by them is absolutely amazing. The Incredibles, an animated superhero movie directed by the talented Brad Bird, would have to by my favorite of all of the amazing Pixar films. Its adventurous plot matched with innocent and hearty humor make it so fun to watch. Though Pixar movies are mostly targeted at young children, I love their flawless ability to relate their movies to just about anyone in the audience. Anyone from my little brother to my grandmother can enjoy what The Incredibles has to offer.
The film takes a turn away from most superhero movies. In The Incredibles, superheroes have been sued and outlawed forcing them to hide in society and blend in as everyday individuals when they in fact have superpowers. I love this direction in that it shows some superhero’s need to serve society and other’s lack of it, giving it a very realistic feel. The Incredibles revolves around the family of Bob Incredible, whose wife and children are also all supers. It’s hilarious to see superpowers applied to the everyday activities of home and family life.
I love all of the characters in the film for they are all very well developed and through vital scenes we get a great idea of how their unfortunate circumstances make them feel. Two of my favorite characters are not even members of the Incredible family, showing that Brad Bird puts stock in every role, no matter how small and I find that important in creating an entirely good movie. Samuel L. Jackson plays Mr. Incredible’s fellow superhero Frozone and he really spices up certain scenes adding his well-known and hilarious ethnic flare. Jason Lee's comedic style also adds greatly to the voice of the movie's villain. Brad Bird not only amazingly wrote and directed The Incredibles, he also did the voice for my favorite character of them all, Edna, who is a famous designer with a hilarious attitude. He plays her voice perfectly and probably better than an actual woman could have. Now that’s talent.
Even if you are not a fan of children’s movies, you can definitely enjoy The Incredibles. Pixar has slipped some fun in for everyone.
