The Incredibles
Story: A retired family of superheroes unretire. Running Time: 2hrs. Certificate U.
The Incredibles is the latest Pixar animated offering, following in the footsteps of their past highly-acclaimed movies such as Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Monsters Inc. and Finding Nemo. That's all you need to know, you can go and watch some TV now!

computer-generated, but this is the first time that Pixar have made a movie in which the cast is human.
It's remarkably difficult to make animations of humans look real and so the designers and animators have
gone with a cartoony look rather than a realistic one, which is probably the sensible way to go.
In fact, when looking back at The Incredibles,
I remember some scenes as a 2D cartoon rather than a 3D animation, such is its cartooniness. They weren't 2D,
of course, but the style, the movement and the characteristics are so similar to past 2D cartoons that my
memory has stored them that way. That's not a bad thing, it's just different.
The Incredibles, as with most animations, deals with common issues at a high level. The feeling of family
togetherness and coming of age smacks a little of
