Known to the world as superheroes, Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl, Bob Parr and his wife Helen were among the world’s greatest crime fighters, saving lives and battling evil on a daily basis. Fifteen years later, they have been forced to adopt civilian identities and retreat to the suburbs to live “normal” lives with their three kids, Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack. Itching to get back into action, Bob gets his chance when a mysterious communication summons him to a remote island for a top secret assignment. He soon discovers that it will take a super family effort to rescue the world from total destruction.

• Ending With a Bang!: Making the End Credits
• Interactive! “The New Nomanisan” Island: A Top Secret Redevelopment Plan
This is absolutely the best ever “light” super-hero movie (can you guess what we think is the best ever “dark” one? Answers on a postcard to the usual address), and it is awesome to rewatch the Pixar classics as they slowly get cleaned up and released onto the HD format. We probably said this back in 2004, but when it comes to the genii at Pixar, NOBODY DOES IT BETTER!
5 stars
