This is a very different animated film that has ever been done. The Incredibles is a film that is just an absolute masterpiece with such unbelievable action for an animated film which I don't think has ever happened before. It is one of the very few animated epics. Others with it are Aladdin and The Lion King. It is an absolutely incredible story with such beautiful characters, hilarious humour and really thrilling scenes. I think The Incredibles is the superhero film that almost every family have been waiting a lot time for. I saw The Incredibles at the cinema when I was 13 years old and I was literally obsessed with it but it wasn't my favourite film at the time. Two of the back-to-back PIXAR films have been the most cleverly humorous ones: Finding Nemo and The Incredibles. It is such a phenomenal film that I would call almost a perfect action animated film. It was about time there was an animated film like The Incredibles because it is like a little boy's dream to be a superhero and The Incredibles shows the reality of that ambition. The cast was really awesome.
It stars Craig T. Nelson as voice of Bob Parr/Mr. Incredible, Holly Hunter as voice of Helen Parr/Elastigirl, Samuel L. Jackson as voice of Lucius Best/Frozone, Jason Lee as voice of Buddy Pine/Syndrome, Wallace Shawn as voice of Gilbert Huph, director Brad Bird as voice of Edna Mode and more. I loved all of the different sets of characters within this masterpiece. Mr. Incredible/Bob Parr is a man who has unlimited strength. He marries Elastigirl/Helen Parr (her maiden name is unknown) and their marriage affects the other superheros and the whole town they live in. They try and keep undercover of their true identity. Helen is a woman who can stretch any part of her body in any possible way she could. For example, like messing around with chewing gum (just a figure of speech and example). Helen and Bob have three children but all three of them are diagnosed with superpowers. The eldest child Violet Parr is a young teenage girl who has two powers. She has invisibility and can create force and protection fields around her or anyone around her. The middle child Dash Parr is the most like Bob because he is a young blond haired arrogant little child. He has unlimited speed and can run as fast as a plane can fly or in easier terms can run like a bolt of lightning. The youngest child and baby Jack-Jack Parr is a little boy that none of his family thought had any powers at all but he does. Jack-Jack can turn himself into metal iron and can control temperature levels by turning himself into flames and also into little red devils. Bob's best friend and fellow superhero Frozone/Lucius Best is an American-African man who can use snow/ice in any way he could apart from actually turning himself into it. I loved Bob's boss Gilbert Huph because he is a tiny little arrogant man who has a big man like Bob as his employee who he can push around but on one scene Bob loses his cool with him and throws him through five walls of the building. That was bloody hilarious! I was in hysterics for about 15 minutes. My favourite character from the whole film is definitely Edna 'E' Mode because she is hilarious. She has a hilarious voice, wacky personality and a stubborn attitude. Her voice was just constantly hilarious every single time I heard a word come out of her mouth.
Brad Bird's direction of The Incredibles is incredible. He has created PIXAR's most hard-hitting film to date. Bird is my favourite animated filmmaker because he has created really clever films with deeply interesting characters even though they are totally different films. Bird's work in The Incredibles is beyond any other filmmaker because he makes a film that is an action film but made it clever, hilarious and quite deep in drama for the genre it is mainly part of: animation. There has never been and probably never will be any other animated film like The Incredibles. It is as simple as that and nothing/nobody can take that away from The Incredibles. It is a one-of-a-kind family, action-comedy-sci fi film. Most superhero films have pretty lame scripts but the script in The Incredibles is beyond any other superhero film other than The Dark Knight.
The Incredibles is one of the smartest animated films ever. It is my third favourite superhero film ever after The Dark Knight and Spider-Man 2. I am a massive PIXAR fan and I love pretty much all of the films they have done. The Incredibles is my fifth favourite PIXAR so far after Ratatouille, Finding Nemo, Toy Story 2 and Monsters, Inc.. Bird's work on this and Ratatouille are absolutely awesome but I love Ratatouille more. The Incredibles has the best ending ever from an animated film too. The Incredibles is an absolutely amazing one-of-a-kind masterpiece that is one of the best action films of the decade. It is a film that I will definitely love for the rest of your life.
