The Incredibles (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)

I have loved this movie since when I first saw it in theaters. On the surface the movie is a fun adventure story with a conflict between good and evil (good wins). However it is also about family, finding your strength, and being different.
An unconventional approach to your traditional superhero movies, this one visits the private lives of heroes and addresses the duality of having so much power, yet not always fitting in to public life easily. It speaks to the tendency of society to praise everyone equally. We emphasize minor accomplishments and understate great accomplishments in order that no one feels bad- "When everyone is special, no one is." I fully agree. I think this is something we need to hear today and I'm glad Pixar had the guts to say it.
The film also highlights the value of having your family there for you and explores relationships in the 'Incredible' family: husband to wife, parents to kids, brother to sister. The movie defines each character well (except JackJack who is after all a baby) and you believe they are real. It strikes a nice balance of dramatic and humorous, the story is well paced and the plot delightfully unexpected.
I highly recommend this movie which has lost nothing in the conversion from big screen to DVD. It is a fabulous addition to any home DVD collection and one you will love watching for years to come.

If you are trying to figure out a great movie to watch, "The Incredibles" is perfect. It is one of the few movies that any age group can see and love. It's sophisticated enough to have appeal to adults, but doesn't include things inappropriate for children. (And also has some ridiculous occurrences that might not appear in a purely adult movie.) This movie is without a shadow of a doubt Pixar's best. In fact, it surpasses every other animated movie that I have ever seen. The animation is great, the story is excellent and the characters are wonderful.
The Story: Due to massive lawsuits against superheroes, all the "supers" are forced to go in cognato. 15 years later, famous superhero Bob Parr, (a.k.a Mr. Incredible), his wife Helen, (a.k.a Elastagirl) and their three children, Violet, Dash and Jack Jack, are trying to live a normal life. It's proving difficult; from Dash in the classroom to Bob in the office. When Bob gets fired, he gets a mysterious correspondence offering him a chance to relieve the Glory Days; something he has been yearning for. The adventures that follow, and the movie as a whole, are so well-done that this almost two-hour movie seems over in a blink of an eye.
The Characters: The characters in this movie are well-developed with depth. Unlike some movies where the heroes are stoic and flat, the members of the Parr family are like real people with their strengths, weaknesses and tempers. However, all the other characters aren't just cardboard cutouts. They have their own personalities and quirks. The kids aren't completely nasty, bratty, self-centered individuals, (but they are kids, so they do kid things). The villain is sufficiently evil, yet he won't give children nightmares.
Rating: The movie is rated PG. There are plenty of action sequences and people get blown up several times. However, there is no blood and no graphic violence.
This movie promotes family, teamwork and pokes fun at frivolous lawsuits and the corporate world. When the characters "screw-up" the movie does not applaud their bad actions. This is a great movie no matter what age you are. I cannot recommend this movie highly enough.

Hi,
This 2-disc collectors edition of the incredibles is incredible! The bonus disc is very cool -tells of various involvements regarding the creation of the movie and the movie itself is action-packed after the initial mediocre office scenes.
The package arrived in very good condition and in new condition. The picture and sound quality is excellent-overall a very wise purchase!
I wonder if they plan to make in the future a sequel to the incredibles?

This dvd is good for showing off to your friends.The colour, the quality of the video looks like High definition, are the goodies of this animated, PC generated dvd. AV magazines highly recommended this dvd, as one of the best dvd of the year. I highly recommend you to buy one when it is running out of stock from Amazon. The price is great!

I found this movie to be one of the rare enjoyable family films. In a time awash with superheroes, it answers the question - What would happen if some of the superheroes married? Now we know. This movie is pure delight - catering to children, teenagers, and adults. While kids love the jokes, there are tender moments that I've seen make adults cry such as when Mister Incredible tells his wife he doesn't want to lose her and his children a second time. I know Brad Bird is adamant about not making a sequel for fear of spoiling the quality of the original, but like Toy Story and others, this movie is just begging to be turned into a franchise.
