Review of The Incredibles (2004) by Thefilmfascist — 14 Jun 2018

The Incredibles is by far my favorite Pixar film to date, Brad Bird proves that just because a film is animated it doesn't mean it's a "kids movie".the film juggles a large amount of topics and mature themes(suicide, adultery...etc)but still keeps its most important message(family)front and center.

The film focuses on the Parr family, which is made up of a great voice cast and animated character designs. After the Superheroes are deemed illegal, Bob(Mr.Incredible)is approached by an organization who promises him the chance to continue using his powers for the greater good. This leads to one of my personal favorite twists in film, the revelation that Mr.Incredible isn't working for an organization trying to help out supers. But in fact, being conned by one of his greatest fans from the Glory Days turned enemy who is seeking revenge on the heroic crusader.

Because of the way the story is executed, which puts Mr.Incredible in the spotlight. Some of the the other family members and characters are left a little under developed but still have moments to shine.

The Animation in this film is astonishing for its time. Most of it still holds up today, except for few smalls details.

The voice cast in this film is also really great and you can really hear and feel the characters emote.

Overall, I really enjoyed The Incredibles. it proves to be my favorite Pixar film and one of the greatest animated movies ever made(hence, it winning several awards). It is also a great superhero movie and completes a very difficult task in my book, which is creating original superheroes and villains. The Incredibles is the greatest Fantastic Four film never made.
