The Incredibles is a great film, and probably my favourite Pixar
picture (Toy Story is the best, but that's different to favourite). It
takes a while to properly get into the action, but when it does, it
delivers it in spades.

And that's exactly it. I would actually call The Incredibles an
animated action film, because to be honest, I don't think there was
enough comedy to call it an animated action comedy film. There are
quite a few funny moments, but the gags don't come as fast as Finding
Nemo or Toy Story.

That being said, it does have truly amazing action set-pieces,
brilliant voice acting, a fabulous script, wonderful characters and the
animation is simply.....well....incredible.

The music is definitely a stand-out. It actually made me smile, with
it's jazzy tones and James Bond type scores.

One of the greatest things about The Incredibles is that it's not a
kiddies film; it's completely different to all the other Pixar films.
They bring out tommy guns in the second scene, for crying out loud! If
you want to see a more adult animated film, then go see The
Incredibles, and enjoy every minute. But I wouldn't bring someone
younger than 4 maybe, because it isn't really aimed at them, and they
probably would find it quite scary.

This is a great film, one of the best of 2004 in my opinion. If it just
had a slightly higher gag rate, than this would be an absolutely
perfect picture.
