The Incredibles!

Pixar's done it again. A marvelous movie, combining superheroes with a "family under stress" motif, and the big villain... is the world's most obsessive fanboy. I loved the heroes, the plotline, and the animation. The major battle was really well done, and the earlier ones, showcasing the main characters, were just plain FUN. The nods to other comics and genres were extensive and marvelously well set up.

The next one, however, looks to be Pixar's first failure. Maybe they'll pull it off somehow, but I'm VERY unhopeful.

(unwillingly, I must say that the preview for Episode III Star Wars looked very cool. Of course, that was true of Ep I previews too. Undoubtedly the movie itself will suck like a black hole in a vacuum cleaner.)

Well, that's the point, isn't it?

NASCAR races aren't unfun to watch, but the reason they are interesting is that they're contests of HUMAN SKILL. And from the previews, unlike in Toy Story, there ARE no humans in this world. Somehow there's a whole world of talking cartoon cars.

My 3 year old might like it, and it's probably not going to be as horrid as Squidbob Cthulhupants and his ilk, but it's not likely to be something any adult would watch.

Didn't think of that...I'm not a car race fan, so I don't really understand the appeal in that much detail.
