The Incredibles!

[seawasp]

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.)

Failure? I thought Cars looked interesting, and it will have widespread appeal in the "red states" since it's about NASCAR.

Cars does look awful.

What I saw of the Incredibles looked good but then events occured and I went home, somewhat smokier than when I set out.

agree with you .... i thought Pixar did a great job with the Incredibles! was funny, well animated, the whole bit.

and agree with you again on the nascar one. looked horrible. or maybe just for young young young kids? either way, won't be going to see that one.
