Its not every animated movie that deals with midlife crisis, marital dysfunction, child neglect, impotence fears, fashion faux pas and existential angst. But The Incredibles the latest in the line of miracles from Pixar (A Bugs Life, Toy Story 1 and 2, Finding Nemo) is not like any animated movie youve ever seen. While delivering the goods as a rip-roaring action-adventure and in the process rocketing the art of animation to new heights of imagination, humour and wonder, director-writer Brad Bird has crafted a film that breaks fresh ground and defies fogy rules. Theres no better expression of family values and fears onscreen right now. By building the family bond into the DNA of his story, Bird has crafted a film one of the years best that doesnt ring cartoonish, it rings true. Rolling Stone
