Are they truly incredible or just mediocreable?

Holy happy animiation!! This movie is great! I loved it. THe pacing at points is a bit slow but overally it's enjoyable. And it's made for adults more than kids.

What I mean by that, is that it's not overly sugar coated. The creators kept their adult mind in tact and realized that kids would be watching but didn't make it too sugary.

There's a line in the film where the Mom chacter is talking to her two kids just before they go and help their super hero dad.
She tells them that the bad guys they're facing aren't like the ones on TV...."they won't take it easy because you're children, they will kill you"

It's a very serious moment and it's about an adult trying to protect her children and show them that being a superhero isn't about getting to use cool powers.

The moment marks Pixar as the best to combine a good story and make it fun for adults.

Go see it and take your kids. There are people shooting with guns in it, just so you know.

My husband and i went last night. We were amazed at how many adults without kids were there. It was a 7:40 show but still, there were tons of couples.

We liked it alot. It was a bit slow in spots as mssilhouette said above but the action is great, the animation is breathtaking and the story is heartfelt.

It is similar to spiderman in action and violence, imo. This is a "pg" rated film, instead of the typical "g."

Saw this film this weekend. I loved it. I'd consider it a keeper. Some movies you see once and that's it, this is one I can watch over and over. I'm sure that there are things I missed the first go round. I'm a big Samuel L. Jackson fan, so I loved having him be the voice of one of the characters.

Got this yesterday from Netflix. What a totally cute movie. I especially loved the little touches about how out of shape mom and dad got over the years. The animation was so realistic at times it actually took me out of the movie.

We bought this last week and I finally watched it. I really enjoyed it! I took the daycare kids to see Robots last week and I enjoyed the Incredibles a lot more.

We got our DVD and I enjoyed watching it again just as much as I did in the theater. It really doesn't feel like a cartoon.

just saw it and now i definitely will buy the DVD - animation is superb as always - especially the water scenes ... and i love the storylines and characters and how they made the superheroes human in terms of emotions and real life hassles etc - and the whole family bonding angle, and recognizing who they were as people and not just trying to fit into society or their idea of society - as well as how they incorporated the different parts of superhero lure into the story.

loved how they made superheroes real with the cape drama (not giving it away for those who havent seen it yet)

but my favorite part - and i think this is one of the best quotes of any movie ever (and those who know me, know my obsession with quotes).. is when the daughter says at dinner "We act normal, i want to BE normal". i cant think of a more powerful or poignant line for those trying to find their identity,

Just saw the DVD yesterday. I have one small nitpick: All the characters were charmingly drawn except for the dad. I couldn't get with his looks, and that spoiled it a bit for me.
