Incredibles (The) (2004)

This has to be the best Pixar film yet. It's like a supercharged, animated, James Bond-squared thriller. It's an action- and humor-packed dynamo that won't quit, full of excitement and chuckles for children and adults alike. The updated twist (a litigation-driven superhero relocation program and the dynamics of a superhero family that is anything but normal when society insists that it be) takes the story beyond Mr. Incredible's macho, I-only-work-alone, glory-days histrionics and gives every family member an impetus to work together. I love everything Holly Hunter does and the rest of the cast (esp. Craig T. Nelson and Jason Lee) are literally super as lead hero and nemesis. John Lasseter's production gives us an inspired cast in a story with genius. Five stars.
