Technically, aesthetically, and narratively outstanding, "The Incredibles" is an excellent, animated achievement. The film is a rollicking super hero adventure that features enduring characters and voice talent, rich and layered dialogue, and three dimensional cinematography that rivals many masterfully shot and lit, live-action films. "The Incredibles" is one of Disney's best, one of PIXAR's best, and one of the superhero genre's best.

The more I see this, it just gets better and better. One of the best animated films ever made and one of my favorite films. Outstanding animation. Amazing characters. Great action. Funny, memorable moments. Incredible film. After this rewatch, I actually wouldn't mind a sequel. Hell, I demand a sequel! Somebody needs to make it happen!

A beautiful story that speaks to people of all ages. The Incredibles is an absolute revolution in animated features. Every shot is so cleverly and gorgeously constructed. It can be said that sometimes in cinema, overuse of style can detract from story. Likewise, a lack of style is a missed opportunity to aid the story. In The Incredibles, there is a perfect affinity between style and story. The film is so wonderfully stylised to create a retro-50s-space-age feel which is seen throughout the art direction, cinematography and direction. However, it is never over-saturated with style. As an animated film, the camera can literally be anywhere the director wants it but Brad Bird is contained and patient. Each shot and each scene is lovingly selected to always aid the story. The style that comes with it is just so precisely balanced that the result is a fun-fille, breath-taking and near-perfect film.
