The Incredibles

And I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack, dear readers! I have my new laptop, and I'm ready to go!

So I decided that for this week I'd do a Pixar classic. Who doesn't love The Incredibles? The correct answer should be…no one. Granted, I know this movie came out when I was nearing the end of high school, but that's the magic of Pixar—people of all ages love them. I'm at a loss for words really. I just really love The Incredibles.

Also, when my parents and I play pub trivia our team name is always The Incredibles. Just sayin'.

Plot in a Nutshell: Superheroes exist and actually save people! Unless of course they don't want to be saved and you get sued. Insert sad trombone. Fifteen years after some really dumb people went, "Yeah fuck superheroes and let's make sure they never help us again," Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl live "normal" lives with their family—emo teenager Violet, aching to do sports Dash, and baby Jack-Jack. When Mr. Incredible gets fired from the insurance company and puts his boss in traction (and let's be honest, we've all wanted to do that), a mysterious woman named Mirage contacts him about a job…involving his superpowers. Dude jumps at the chance, and things get better. Until he finds out his employer is a former superfan that he spurned as a child and now is building superweapons to kill all superheroes. OOPS. Elastigirl, Violet, and Dash go in search of Mr. Incredible, get shot out of the sky, and eventually all reunited and form THE INCREDIBLES. YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. They eventually defeat Syndrome, and because of that whole thing, superheroes come out of hiding and are allowed to be themselves again. Fuck yeah.

WTF: Where were Syndome's parents throughout this whole thing? They really should have gotten him therapy…or had him committed. Who is Mirage and how did she end up working for Syndrome? Did she know that other supers were being murdered? How the fuck is that magma in the volcano moving to allow passage through it? With the sequel being worked on right now, will the focus be on Jack-Jack (if the same amount of time has passed in-universe as in real life) and a now middle-aged Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl? Will Edna still be around making flawless supersuits? Will Violet and Dash be grown-up?

Fun Facts are Fun: According to IMDB, Jason Lee, who voiced Syndrome, recorded his vocals over the course of four days. Craig T. Nelson (Mr. Incredible) on the other hand, recorded his over two years. Lily Tomlin was originally cast as Edna Mode but turned it down once she heard Brad Bird's voicing of Edna. Elizabeth Peña, who voiced Mirage, sadly passed away in 2014.

The Verdict: Fucking perfect. Let's hope the sequel doesn't suck.
