Here's another example of Pixar's mastery of popular animation.

Top CriticA departure for Pixar: longer and a bit grittier ... and created by someone outside the Pixar family. ... But the movie's central elements are pure Pixar.

Like Elastigirl, Pixar shows it can be pulled in many directions and snap back into shape, invariably vanquishing any challenger that stands in the way.

A visual feast, a funny, entertaining thrill ride that's the best creation yet from the animation juggernaut better known as Pixar.

The Incredibles is the finest of Pixar combined with the best parts of Spider-Man, Superman and Batman...plus it's pretty damn funny too.

certainly the animated movie of the year and, for my money, one of the best times you’ll have at the movies all year.

As a die-hard Red Sox fan, the highest praise I can give Pixar's latest is that it held my full attention after a madcap and largely sleepless Victory Parade weekend.

That The Incredibles is so polished and assured comes as no surprise. The question is, will Pixar's formula ever get old?

The funny stuff outweighs the slower parts - it mostly delivers super hero entertainment.
11/05/04
The rich collection of animated characters really lives on screen. Once again, Pixar raises the bar for computer-animation storytelling.
11/05/04
Visual wonders are just a mind-blowing bonus in a film which uses character-driven hero stories to make something incredibly smart.
11/05/04
It’s funny, dramatic, even heroic: “The Incredibles” largely lives up to its name. But you’ll still leave the film feeling that Pixar left something on the table.
11/05/04
The film proves there are auteurs even within the army-of-collaborators medium that is big-budget animation.
11/05/04
...sounds an alarm about the perils of conformity, particularly if being one of the crowd means having to deny your true nature. ... The Incredibles live up to their billing.
11/05/04
I can't shake the notion that The Incredibles may not be all it might have been. It stomps all the expected bases instead of streaking by with daring innovation.
11/05/04
MacGyver hopped up on methamphetamines wouldn't be more quick-witted.
11/05/04
And get this, not one single flatulence joke to be found in the entire film. Thank you, Brad Bird. Thank you.
11/05/04
Bird has big shoes to fill - those of Pixar fave John Lassetter - with his latest venture...boy, does he fill them.
