Too bad the deLorean from Back to the Future is now part of a theme park ride... Pixar has yet to disappoint me!

Early reports (buzz) is, well, incredible. PG Rated for lots of action. 2 hours long and full of humor and heart. (So what else is new from Pixar?). Last week Time gave it a pre-review feature story and raved about it. Computer power needed for the pic was 4 fold over Nemo. Shoo-in for Best Animated Feature for the next Oscars.

I saw a commercial the other night that was all about Dash. Has anyone seen commercials for the other characters?

Here's a review from The Hollywood Reporter. Beware, there are spoilers and a reveal about the special ending (I guess after the end titles).
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/th...t_id=1000694638
This is really going to be something special!
Ken Tucker of New York Magazine calls the film "The latest triumph from Pixar, The Incredibles is a buoyant, heartfelt, hilarious superhero action-comedy." Review in next issue. |

Variety has a stellar review (with lots of spoilers). It's only available to subscribers at the moment but should be on line in a few days. Here's the opening paragraph:
quote:
By TODD MCCARTHY
The Incredibles" lives up to its title. This grand adventure yarn about a retired family of superheroes getting its groove back is in several ways the most ambitious and genre-expanding entry in Pixar's extraordinary run of innovative and monstrously successful computer animated pictures. Writer-director Brad Bird's highly anticipated follow-up to his much-lauded 1999 "Iron Giant" delivers the sort of excitement, imagination, wit and panache that will make it enormously appealing to a wide spectrum of audiences around the world. A muscular marketing push will launch this penultimate Disney release of a Pixar feature into high and sustained B.O. orbit, with merchandising and ancillary sure to keep the profits rolling in for a long ti | |
