     Incredible, indeed. Another terrific addition to the lineup of films in the Disney/Pixar library. Superheroes across the globe are being protested by normal folk, so they have now become a thing of the past. They now hide in their alter egos, living the mundane life of the ordinary citizen. Mr. Incredible is one such hero. He now has a family… a family of superheroes. When dad secretly comes out of retirement he walks right into a trap. Now it’s time for his family to take action. Here’s where the fun begins… This animated gem begins as a so-so comedy-drama of sorts which then shifts into a straight up adventure film, a mixture of 007 and the Fantastic Four. This is an adventure sure to please families and action buffs. Love that spy-themed score by Michael Giacchino. Oscar-winner for Best Animated Feature, Best Sound Editing.
