Writer / Director: Brad Bird Stars: Craig T. Nelson, Holly Hunter, Samuel L. Jackson, Jason Lee, Dominique Louis, Theodore Newton, Jean Sincere, Eli Fucile, Maeve Andrews In a world where superheroes are outlawed, a super-powered family is drawn into conflict with a super-villain because Dad can’t resist playing vigilante from time to time.  This is another classic Pixar film that successfully infuses a comic adventure story with serious themes, all rendered in beautiful state-of-the-art animation.  Mr. Incredible is torn because being the most authentic, best version of himself as he sees it conflicts with the requirements of being a responsible father who provides for his family.  Over the course of the film, the family comes to understand what they mean to each other and their place in society.  There are plenty of laughs and thrilling action sequences.  The voice talent is terrific.  A compete success.
