Oscar-nominated four, and winner of Best Animated Film of the Year, The Incredibles is one of the best animated films ever produced. A cross between Toy Story, Superman, and office space, it offers endless action sequences, visual creativity, humor and well delivered. Brad Bird, director (who directed some episodes of the Simpsons) not only creates a memorable film, but also expresses one of the characters star of The Incredibles, Edna Mode. And later in the rich tradition of animated classics such Bambi (1942), Beauty and the Beast (1991), and The Lion King (1994), Walt Disney Pictures teams up again with Pixar Animation Studios (with whom he collaborated on Finding Nemo) to produce a film both children and adults will love with equal passion and panache …

The Incredibles is located in the canton of cartoon fiction Metroville (a hybrid of two houses of Superman, Smallville and Metropolis). Metroville home to a number of miraculous superheroes who do everything to track down the killers of evil to save cats stuck in trees. Foremost among the superheroes is Mr. Incredible (Craig T. Nelson) who resembles Superman in both strength and style. Shortly after Mr. Incredible’s marriage to the vivacious Elastigirl (Holly Hunter), a wave of civil lawsuits and other unwarranted offenses were laid against the super-hero by the people they save, who cite numerous damage to their person as a result of being saved. The rash of legal action, and the strain it puts on the local governmental budget, turns the tide of public opinion against the superheroes and forces underground.

Hosted by the government program to protect witnesses, Mr. Incredible has assumed a new identity – that of Bob Parr, an ordinary middle-class suburbanite who works as a specialist insurance claims. Cowering in his cubicle, Bob Parr must deal with the horrors of a typical use of 9 to 5, a boss he hates, and regulations he feels are immoral and offensive to the company’s customers. Meanwhile, Elastigirl is now known as Helen Parr, and she grew comfortable in his new role as a housewife raising their three children removed superhero – Violet (a shy girl with the ability to become invisible), Dash ( an arrogant boy with the ability to run super fast), and Jack Jack (without a baby-of-yet-known super powers). All goes well until Mr. Incredible, anxious to return to life to help people, is approached by a secret government organization Super hoping to get help.When he turns out to be a part of a plot hatched by the complex syndrome of evil (Jason Lee), a former Mr. Incredible sycophant turned bad, Elastigirl and the entire family must risk blowing their cover Parr to save Mr. Incredible , and the world, from certain death …

The Incredibles deserves a place on the list of any of the 100 best films ever made. It is really good. The musical score, composed by Michael Giacchino (known for his work on Alias), sneers at today’s digital multitrack recording for the recording of the old school analog of the 1960s in its efforts to recreate the jazz-orchestra ambience often associated with the golden age of comics. This attention to form and detail of the story sets the tone for The Incredibles. And that’s why the film is an absolute must-see. Its meticulous blend of sound and images, coupled with a quite hilarious – if not ingenious script – makes The Incredibles a strong contender for best film of 2004 …
