I love this film! What's not to like? It's got super-heroes, comedy, romance, family issues, and Samuel L. Jackson!
This is one of Pixar's best, next to Toy Story and Finding Nemo. It follows Mr Incredible (Nelson) in his prime when he saves a man from comitting suicide and then stops a train wreck. Unfortunately, the suicidal guy sues him along with all the survivors of the crash due to injuries. This forces all the supers to be put into witness protection. 15 years later, we see Mr Incredible, now called Rob Parr, married to Elasti-girl (Hunter), called Helen, and has three kids; Dash (Fox), Violet (Vowell) and Jack-Jack. He and his best friends Lucius "Frozone" (Jackson) go out most nights with a police scanner and do vigilante work so they can still be superheroes. This is when Rob gets a message telling him that he is needed for an assignment. He jumps to it, not knowing that he was in danger. When his wife finds out, she goes crazy and follows him to get him back, the kids stow-away in the back. The whole family then team up to take out Syndrome, the bad guy, and save the day.
I think it's awesome and it gives a different perspective on how a super-hero lives (unlike Spiderman who just has emo problems). I love the powers of the family aswell; Rob has super-strength, Helen is elastic, Dash is super fast, Violet can become invisible and create force-fields, Jack-Jack has a large range of powers, and Lucius can create ice out of the moisture in the air.
Watch this film now, it's awesome!
