The Incredibles (2004)

While this definitely isn’t the best film PIXAR ever made (Wall-E, Up, or a Toy Story movie), this is one of my favorites. This film is one of the most fun PIXAR films, and it is a blast all-around to watch. It’s just one of those films that make you smile when you see it. The story is that there is a family of superheroes that have to be in hiding, but then they come out to defeat the kid who Mr. Incredible wronged so many years ago. And this moral story is one that I didn’t mind, as it is more of a moral covered in action and comedy, rather than having morals in film crammed down my throat (Rango). And I am more than okay with that. The animation, even though it was done in 2004, is still pretty good, and the voice work is phenomenal. The story and writing is spot-on, and seeing this film a few years after its release, when I have become a film critic, I realize that this is one of those films that perfectly pulls off fun for anyone ages 6-106. In the end, it is a film for kids, for young adults, and for adults alike. The first PIXAR film that actually appeals to every age demographic. I’m not saying that it’s the best, it is not. But is it fun? One of the funnest.
