Sunday's SF Chronicle had an article about Pixar and their success and that made me want to revisit some of their films. Tonight I chose The Incredibles. This was the sixth full length animated feature from Pixar and the first to feature human protagonist. At first glance it plays almost like a standard summer action flick, but it's sly commentary on married life, mid-life crisis, corporate America and raising a family set it apart.
Written and directed by Brad Bird the film was a huge hit for Pixar, who feared it might not perform as well as the previous five films. It was also a big hit with critics appearing on many of 2004's Top 10 list for the years best films. At the Movie House rating ***1/2 stars.
