Walt Disney released THE INCREDIBLES in 2004 to worldwide acclaim. At heart it is a story about a superhero family forced into denial. Once the greatest superheros ever, they have to live a quiet, stifling suburban life. This clever story was penned and directed by Brad Bird, fresh from his stint at THE SIMPSONS.
This marked the sixth Pixar production under the aegis of Walt Disney Pictures. Not only was it well-received, THE INCREDIBLES launched a phenomenal merchandising campaign that had boys between the ages of 5 and 8 scrambling for everything from cups to pajamas to toys to lunchboxes. It has quickly climbed the ranks to become a Disney animated classic.
The story begins with Mr. Incredible on his way to his wedding when he is suddenly confronted with the challenge of saving a man falling from a building. In the process of saving him, he inadvertently damages a passenger train. Following his wedding, he is slapped with a string of lawsuits, as it turns out the falling man was trying to commit suicide and the passengers filed for damages. Reacting to the public outcry, the government is forced to declare superhero-ism illegal, driving the superheros, Mr. Incredible and his fiances as well, into hiding.
Mr. Incredible, voiced by Craig T. Nelson, and Elastigirl, voiced by Academy award-winner Holly Hunter, are forced to settle down and have a family. Their oldest children, Dash and Violet, who were born with super powers but are forbidden to use them. Their baby, Jack Jack, seems to be a superpower-less child, much to the chagrin of Mr. Incredible. They are all forced to live as "normal" people, working normal jobs and attending normal school.
A jealous fan of Mr. Incredible is determined, after being inadvertently snubbed, to create his own superpowers and seek vengeance. He lures unsuspecting superheroes to his island lair in order to test his superhero killing machine. Mr. Incredible who is eager to get back to the life he knew, accepts a mission to the island to investigate. Little does he know he is being lured to his death.
In the meantime, Helen (Elastigirl) does her best to hold down the home front. She is oblivious to the significance of his business trips (she starts to worry he's been unfaithful) until she notices a tear in her husband's old superhero outfit. Furious that he's put the family in jeopardy, she hops a plane to confront him.
As the jet soars towards the little island, we find out Dash and Violet have stowed away on the plane. Suddenly, the plane is attacked by the nefarious Syndrome. Helen has to get her children working together as a team before it's too late. Can they band together in time to save themselves and Mr. Incredible? Can they survive long enough to defeat Syndrome? This Disney animated classic is essential for every family DVD collection.
