It comes down to this, if you don't like The Incredibles, there is probably something wrong with you. It's a fantastic mix of beautiful animation, superhero movie spoof, family drama, coming of age story and a thrilling action flick. I won't say this is my favorite Pixar movie but it's right up there on the list.
I'm not going to waste anybody's time (especially my own) by summarizing the plot of the film but writer/director Brad Bird (The Iron Giant, Ratatouille) created a perfect blend of all the styles listed above that is simultaneously smart, funny, touching and true to life (except ya know, for the superhero stuff). The voice cast is excellent. Craig T. Nelson, Holly Hunter, Jason Lee and Sam Jackson are all perfect for their respective roles with Nelson in particular giving fantastic voice work as a man torn between his love for his family and his desire to relive the glory years. There's not enough good things to say about this film. At almost two hours in length, it does seem to be a little long for an animated film on paper but it certainly doesn't feel that way when watching it.
As with every Pixar blu-ray release to date, The Incredibles is an absolutely perfect transfer. It seems that most new release movies and recent big budget animated films are barely worth reviewing in regards to their blu-ray quality. They're all demo worthy. The Incredibles features a beautiful visual look and a stunning audio track. It's a five star transfer all the way.
The Incredibles is another in a long line of great Pixar films that have received great blu-ray releases. The film is almost perfect and the blu-ray quality certainly is. This is a must own blu-ray.
