The Incredibles is an animated film that portrays Super Heroes attempting to lead normal lives in the Super Hero Protection Program. However, Mr. Incredible finds his Secret Identity lacking in excitement. He starts to take jobs to test battle robots. He soon finds that this is a ploy to get Mr. Incredible captured. His family, who also has super powers, must save him and the world from the evil Syndrome.

The Incredibles is a great movie for kids as well as adults. It's definitely a guy movie. Scenes in this film are yanked form a lot of sci/fi flics, as are the characters. But, it works, and works well. I am racking my brain to remember where I saw the character Edna 'E' Mode. She reminds me of Linda Hunt. If anyone can help with these scenes I would appreciate it. In fact, if you can identify all the movie scenes I would love it. I think Mirage is Teri Garr but I could be wrong.

I give it 4 out of 5 Capes:
