It's definitely worth declaring that The Incredibles is the best animation film of the year, and that's no easy feat. A few months ago, it looked as if animation couldn't get any better than Shrek 2, but The Incredibles rises above the realm of all 3-D animation achievements previous to it and shames any live action film out there made from weak and exhausted parts. The film is written with snap and bite and made with some of the same zeal that has gone into the best of the James Bond pictures. It's deliriously funny and exciting. The Incredibles has set a new bar of animation excellence.Another one that should go in your collections,thanks for reading
As with all CGI movies it works on different levels so it is entertaining for adults as well as children.
The basic plot outline, the government has outlawed all superheroes and forced them to adopt civilian identities.
Fifteen years after the event, we see Bob Parr (Mr Incredible) trying to cope with a mundane life as a insurance clerk, his wife Helen (Elastagirl) keeping the family together in a ‘normal’ suburban environment, this is especially difficult as the children Violet and Dashel have super powers.
Bob is obviously bored by this existence and tries to live the ‘Glory Days’ by listening to a police scanner with his friend Lucious Best (Frozone) in the hope of be able to do a ‘good deed’
Circumstances eventually force Bob to come out of retirement, which obviously impacts on the whole family.
Because of my long interest in superhero comics and the quality of the previous Pixar productions. I actually pre-ordered this DVD (The first and only time I have done this).
I Whole heartedly recommend this to everyone, I love everything about this DVD including the featurette’s and commentaries.
Like most of the Pixar movies, The Incredibles is not just for kids, its highly watchable for even the most mature of grown ups. The concept is fantastic, the characters are pretty cool (i'm a particular fan of Edna) & of course theres that nice warm Disney family feeling! Definately reccomended!
Product looked great the package was intact. It was excellently wrapped and posted quickly. Although picture quality not as expected for new item it looked like it had been watched many times. Looked used when watched although listedas new item.
Children have watched this movie on sky movies and really enjoyed it so thought id get on ebay so they would be able to watch it as many times as they liked!!!!!
I needed something to keep my 3 very livley boys entertained for more than 5mins,this did the job brilliantly! The film is packed full of action and specially the last half is fast moving.The animation is great and each of my sons found a character to relate to and play at being after. My boys ages range from 3 to 6 and i found it suited all three which doesnt happen alot even i sat and watched it and enjoyed it.It has been watched several times and each time has had the same effect. I cant think of anything i didnt actually like but would highly recommend it for all children.As far as im concerned it's worth every penny!
this is a must see family film. it will have you in stiches. my kids loved it and watch it over and over. even me and my othe rhalf enjoyed it, its got plenty of action and lots of funny scenes and loads of hidden adult huomor. 5* film that you must have in your dvd collection
The person selling the item did not keep in contact and although I paid for the item, they did not send it to me at all and had to open a dispute with paypal. I thought I was the only one but there are so many others after me. I am very disappointed and would not do any service with this person again.
It's a great film with brillient charactorisations and humour. certainly worth buying especially on ebay as the deals you can get it for a the best. Anyway, i purchased for my son and we watched it many times. unfortunately on it's fourth viewing my son accidently stood on it so I will have to get another ebay purchased copy. Have a go, i am sure that you will enjoy it as much as we did and will in the future. cheers all
I loved this film as soon as I saw it. Am I a young child, ? nope I am a fifty year old bloke.
The humour is sublime , the graphics are fantastic and the plot is marvellous. A great film for all the family with plenty for everyone!!! I just love it!! Watch out for my alter ego Edna!! She is hilarious.
Saving the world before dinner gets cold, Pixar's The Incredibles blends superhero derring-do with domestic dysfunction to wickedly funny effect. Writer-director Brad Bird shows the same attention to character that set apart his debut feature, The Iron Giant (1999), and ensures that sumptuous CG animation takes second place to a ripping good yarn. Flexing their acting muscles as well as their vocal chords, Craig T Nelson and Holly Hunter boost the quirky quotient for this truly inspired family adventure.
Set in the candy-coloured 50s, workaday crime-fighter Mr Incredible aka Bob Parr (Craig T Nelson) falls foul of an ungrateful citizen who sues him for botching his suicide attempt. Other law suits follow, prompting a nationwide ban on all superheroes and forcing Bob and his wife Helen aka Elastigirl (Holly Hunter) underground.
"BRILLIANT COMIC SPARKS"
Fifteen years later the Incredibles are leading a humdrum suburban existence; their children (Spencer Fox, Sarah Vowell) struggle to fit in with their less than incredible peers while Bob yearns for the glory days. Helen begs them to conform, but when the world faces a new threat from the psychotic Syndrome (Jason Lee), Bob defies his wife's wishes and that's when the trouble really begins.
High-octane action rubs up against mundane moments creating brilliant comic sparks, like the sight of a hulking Bob wedged inside his office cubicle or a fellow crusader snagging his cape with fatal consequences. Both Hunter and Nelson brilliantly underplay their roles and never lapse into goofball delivery. However, it's Bird himself who steals the show as fascist fashion designer Edna, a riotous cross between Vivienne Westwood and Pol Pot.
Much of the humour risks playing over the heads of younger viewers and the two-hour running time will also test small concentration spans. But The Incredibles flies high above the crowd for its worldly wit and compassion for humankind.
i brought this dvd for my little boy he loves it and watches it every night before he goes to bed it was the best item i have got from e bay and im so glad i brought it so are my kids they love it .
This is a very watchable film with a suitably incredible plot, but which the animators carry off very well indeed. The quality of the animation and sound are spot on, and it's very watchable on the basis that you don't quite know what's going to happen next! A film you can watch with the kids too, with pleasure, and one that they keep wanting to watch again and again. Recommended.
This was good but not fantastic, My young children did not watch it all the way through. They easily lost interest, and my eldest who is a teenager said it was good, but she would not be in a hurry to watch it again. I found it quite funny in places, but agreed with my eldest, it is a film that will be gathering a lot of dust on the shelves.
