This is my go-to
companion for action. The Incredibles is an action-packed, comedy-filled
computer-animated superhero film that balances the superhero life with the
suburban life. The movie goes beyond the usual computer animation that Pixar
was known for—it features an all-human cast, which pushed the Pixar animators
to their limits due to the intense work required to create these characters. The
Incredibles is a film you can easily connect with, finding fun at every turn.
After the
disappointing performance of his movie The Iron
Giant (1999)—often attributed to poor marketing—Brad Bird. He turned
his attention to developing a movie idea he’d been working on for some time. He
pitched the concept to Pixar’s John Lasseter, who loved it and brought Bird on
board the Pixar team to make the movie. The idea centered on a superhero
family, with the father going through a midlife crisis. Bird’s refusal to
compromise led to numerous delays, as the animators worked tirelessly to
perfect the human characters' skin, clothing, and hair, as well as animating
water, fire, air, and smoke to make everything look as realistic as possible.
The movie plot focuses
on the challenges of the superhero family, with each member dealing with their
own issues. The movie was well directed so that you are not overwhelmed by the
focus on one character. You get to love each character and enjoy the way they
manage their own challenges.
The movie does
include some darker elements, with death depicted as inevitable and the
characters showing no hesitation in taking out their enemies. Even Mr.
Incredible and Elastigirl’s children were unshaken by the explosions and deaths
of their opposition. They weren’t surprised or remorseful when their enemies
perished, nor did they object to their parents’ use of deadly force. While this
adds realism to the story, I feel it’s something kids shouldn’t be overly
exposed to.
The Incredibles
was a theatrical success, winning two Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature
and Best Sound Editing. It dominated the box office, earning over $630 million
against a $92 million production budget. The film also inspired comics,
merchandise, and at least three video games based on its characters and
adventures.
The Incredibles is pure fun—the kind of fun you get from a great action flick combined with a fantastic sitcom. It’s truly one of a kind, and I’ve been eagerly waiting for a sequel ever since its release. Hopefully, the wait won’t be too long.
