Great Story, But Wait Until You See It In High-Def: Wow!
Added 2/23/2009
I just saw this film in high-definition on cable TV last week and - wow! - it looks awesome, as many animated films do now in that format.
This was somewhat of a surprise hit when it came out in 2004. Most of the attention was on a competing animated film but this is the one that turned out to be a huge box-office success. Word of mouth helped his immensely. It's what made me check it out, as several friends recommended it. I wound up agreeing with them: it's excellent entertainment.
From that point, I began checking out almost every new animated film and have usually been pleased. Animated movies have been astounding the past four years and especially now with Blu-Ray.
As impressive as the visuals and sound are, it's the story that carries this film: a solid combination of humor, drama, suspense, family ties and action.
As an adult, it's not always easy to keep my attention for two hours with animation but the fact this movie does, tells you how good the story is presented.....but watching this on Blu-Ray will blow you away! Let's hope it becomes available soon.

An Amazing Movie That Gives An Honest Reflection Of Average Family Life.
Added 6/21/2008
Another Disney/Pixar collaboration that gives us a genuinely funny movie that teaches us some very important values about family life. The Incredibles are a family of "Supers" forced to enter into the Superhero protection program and go into hiding after a series of unfortunate events that leads to a ton of super hero's finding themselves being sued by the very people they saved. The build-up to what becomes to core story of the film is superb as it allows Brad Bird (Writer/Director) to give us a real depiction of family life whilst adding the superhero element to the mix. The characters are something unique and The Incredibles presents a platform in which to give each unique character their own equal spotlight. Before going further into the movie I will give a quick rundown of each character to give you a good perspective of how the chemistry of the characters plays out on screen.
Bob Parr/Mr Incredible: He's a man who's stuck in the past, after the initial opening of the movie we're given the view of his life in the present. He works for a faceless insurance company and although he was forced by the government to go into hiding, he can't resist but be the hero he was in the past. He and his friend Lucius Best/Frozone sit in the car listening to the police scanner to pick out crimes to solve or robberies to stop. Played by Craig T. Nelson
Helen Parr/Elastigirl: She's the typical housewife who's forced to juggle an entire family of superhero's and the daily household chores. Played by Holly Hunter
Violet Parr: She's the typical shy teenage girl who has the ability to turn herself invisible and create forcefields using only her mind. Played by Sarah Vowell
Dash Parr: The name says it all as Dash has the ability to be super fast. He's the typical mischievous young boy who's always getting in trouble with school using his super speed to play pranks on his teachers. Dash is also very competitive and wants nothing more but to take part in the school sporting events, because they're in hiding he simply isn't allowed to. Played by Spencer Fox
Lucius Best/Frozone: This is the best friend of Mr. Incredible and has been since the original super days, he's a man who has the ability to use ice as a weapon or as a way of getting around. Played by Samuel L. Jackson
Buddy Pine/Syndrome: He was once Mr. Incredibles biggest fan but after an incident that left him getting handed to the police by Mr. Incredible, he developed into a mastermind inventor and the arch nemesis of Mr. Incredible and called himself Syndrome. Played by Jason Lee
During an equally tough day in work Bob Parr ends up assaulting his boss and getting himself fired, and the government are forced to pay off the company to keep them quiet. Bob doesn't tell Helen about him being fired as he receives an envelope with a secret message offering him a chance to become a hero again. All he has to do is fly to a deserted island and destroy the most intelligent and most destructive machine ever created. After a successful first mission, Bob is given many more missions that pay very well, he tells Helen he's received a promotion at work but after becoming suspicious of Bob, Helen manages to find out that Bob had been fired a long time ago. On the Island Bob discovers there's more to his job than just destroying intelligent robots when he's attacked by Syndrome, his arch nemesis who used to be Mr. Incredibles biggest fan, Buddy.
This is the typical Disney movie that endeavours to teach us something good about the average family life, with the involvement of Brad Bird it manages to do this without it being too corny. The comedy is something great too as there are parts that the adults can relate to and may, at times find themselves laughing hysterically to. There are also parts that will make the kids laugh which is something that genuinely makes this movie unique, it has a way of making all members of the family laugh in very different ways. Brilliant film and is something that should be watched by the entire family together.

what else do you want from a movie?
Added 4/7/2007
my grand children liked it, my son liked it, and i like it.
This movie is entertaining, funny, clever, intelligent, well voiced, and well animated.
i am a 64 year old man who has been loving movies since starting with cinderella, fantasia, ivanhoe, shane, treasure island, miracle worker, high noon, to kill a mockingbird, ivan the terrible, strangers on a train, (don't) shoot the piano player, irma la douce, diabolique, casablanca, singin' in the rain, sullivan's travels, witness, seven samurai, yojimbo, david copperfield, 39 steps, amadeus, chariots of fire, deer hunter, good morning vietnam, mississippi burning, true believer, real genius, tootsie, (malcolm) X, philadelphia, gladiator, the american president, don juan de marco, cars, .....
i am puzzled by people who denigrate an enjoyable movie like this, but evidently most do not.
to find a stupid movie watch a mel gibson or bruce willis movie, not this one. ( I enjoy those too, even if they are uninteligent. E.g anyone who thinks the battle of stirling bridge was fought in an open field and won by mooning the opposition can enjoy a mel gibson movie.)
