THE INCREDIBLES
From the Academy AwardŽ-winning creators of \"Toy Story,\" \"Monsters, Inc.\" and \"Finding Nemo,\" comes this hilarious action-packed animated adventure about superheroes.
Bob Paar used to be one of the world's greatest superheroes (known to all as \"Mr. Incredible\"), saving lives and fighting evil on a daily basis. But now, fifteen years later, Bob and his wife (a famous former superhero in her own right) have adopted civilian identities and retreated to the suburbs to live normal lives with their three kids. Now he's a clock-punching insurance claims adjuster fighting boredom and a bulging waistline.
Itching to get back into action, Bob gets his chance when a mysterious communication summons him to a remote island for a top-secret assignment. Pixar Animation Studios stretches the boundaries of the art form with this stylish and entertaining film. Acclaimed filmmaker Brad Bird (\"The Iron Giant\") directs.

THE INCREDIBLES follows the adventures of a family of former superheroes
rediscovering the true source of their powers?in one another. Once one of the
world's top masked crime fighters, Bob Parr (AKA Mr. Incredible) fought evil and
saved lives on a daily basis. Fifteen years later, he and his wife Helen (the former
Elastigirl) have been forced to take on civilian identities and retreat to the
suburbs. Today they, and all superheroes, live as mere mortals. Bob and Helen lead
all-too-ordinary lives with their children, Violet and Dashiell \"Dash\" Parr, who go
out of their way to appear \"normal.\" As a clock-punching insurance man, the only
thing Bob fights these days is boredom and a bulging waistline. Itching for action,
the sidelined superhero gets his chance when a mysterious communication summons him
to a remote island for a top-secret assignment. Now, with the fate of the world
hanging in the balance, the family must come together and once again find the
fantastic in their family life.
The most complex computer-animated entertainment yet created, THE INCREDIBLES
nevertheless relies on the same traditional elements as all compelling motion
picture stories - character development, production design, cinematography,
costumes, effects, music and overall vision - pushing each of these to new levels
within the genre to create a film unlike any other.
The top-notch voice cast of THE INCREDIBLES includes Craig T. Nelson (TV's \"Coach\")
as Bob Parr/Mr. Incredible, a dedicated family man trying to find a balance between
saving the world and taking care of his loved ones, Academy AwardŽ winner Holly
Hunter (\"The Piano\") is Helen Parr/Elastigirl, an ultra-flexible mum, housewife and
a superhero rolled into one, Samuel L. Jackson (\"Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the
Clones\") is Lucius Best/Frozone, an ultra-cool superhero and Bob Parr's bowling
buddy, Brad Bird (\"TV's \"The Simpsons\") is the voice of Edna Mode (or \"E\" for
short), the deliciously deadpan fashion diva who specializes in designing costumes
for elite superheroes, Jason Lee (\"Jersey Girl\") brings a sense of mischief to the
role of Buddy Pine/Syndrome, the dastardly villain who holds a grudge against
superheroes. Finally, John Ratzenberger (TV's \"Cheers\") is the only person to have
voiced parts in all six Pixar films presented by Disney and in The Incredibles,
Ratzenberger makes a vocal appearance as the Underminer.
