It's a real shame that most people probably don't know Brad Bird. If they did, they would know about the "Iron Giant," a completely ignored animated movie from 1999 that never got the credit it deserved. Now he's all over the place for "The Incredibles," another ride into the Pixar way of filmmaking.
Mr. Incredible (Craig T. Nelson) was in his prime, saving people from certain doom... until the lawsuits hit. One by one, people began suing superheroes for a variety of reasons and the government stepped in to relocate them all, including his family. Now known as Bob Parr and given a day job at an insurance company, his life is miserable, until he receives a secret message that can get him back to his real job. What he discovers is a world take over plot, and he needs his entire family to pull him out.
The first half hour or so of "The Incredibles" is nothing short of brilliant. It maintains that charm, all-ages humor, and rapid fire pacing audiences have come to expect from this animation studio. The simple idea of a super hero being taken out of his or her element is genius and it's a wonder why no one thought of that before.
Then it nosedives. Quickly. The comedy is gone and all we're left with a simple action movie with a few nice homage's to some classic films. It's very generic, simple, and flat out uninteresting. Oh sure, for a kid, this is probably a great movie along with plenty of merchandising opportunity. It completely loses that alt audience that was so fixated on the magic of something like "Toy Story" or "A Bugs Life."
All it really becomes is a generic parody of comic book and movie super heroes. They even touch on another way to handle this one, the husbands sneaking out late at night to perform heroic deeds, only to come home and be yelled at by their wives. That's funny, not to mention hugely entertaining. Where is there need to become some all out action epic? That's really not what was advertised and it puts people into the wrong mindset going in.
Then you have a decent set of characters, including some that are entirely wasted. Frozone is voiced by Samuel L. Jackson and gets plenty of screen time in the early going (a great "Die Hard 3" parody included). Where is he for the rest of the movie? Oh, quietly sitting on the sidelines until the final battle so parents are forced to run out and buy more merchandise since he'll be fresh on kid's minds.
For Brad Bird fans, things here are going to seem awfully familiar. The final segment is another robot-on-the-loose tip-of-the-hat to 1950s sci-fi, just like "The Iron Giant." However, none of the magic that was contained in that film is retained here. Everything thrown on screen is there to look good and impress fans of this style.
Then again, the only thing saving this film from a complete pitfall is the animation. So much has been done and there's so much more power available, that something you wouldn't even think was important (like hair), is just stunning here. The water effects are some of the best you'll ever see come out of computer. However, all of the computing power in the world doesn't make a great movie and that little dash of originality in the opening is nowhere near enough to make up for the rest of it. (** out of *****)
With no film to degrade, there's little that can go wrong with a Pixar DVD transfer. With this oddly ratioed 2.39:1 picture, there is. The bright red suits of the title heroes are just too much for the format to handle. Compression is heavy, even if the rest of the film looks stunning. Bleeding can be prevalent at times, hindering a transfer that is just one notch short of absolute perfection. There's no way around it. If the other Pixar discs didn't exist, this would be the best you could buy. Unfortunately, they do, and "The Incredibles" just doesn't stack up, at least comparatively. (****)
Presented in 5.1 EX, the disc makes up for those minor visual shortcomings with this audio mix. Bass should never be this strong without a little DTS logo somewhere on the packaging. Movement (check out Dash running around the dining room) is captured flawlessly. The use of the surround channels never seems forced or overdone. Dialogue is perfectly blended, even ring the most intense action sequences. You can't get much more than this. (*****)
The same goes for the always-exhaustive feature set. Disc one of course contains the film and two commentary tracks. Brad Bird commands the first along with his procer, John Walker. A ton of the animation crew then handles the second. Enthusiasm is infectious ring both and they're well worth a listen either way.
Disc two contains the type of feature set that gives a reviewer wrist cramps. Bird starts things off with a basic introction that overviews everything. "Jack-Jack Attack" is heavily promoted (on both the front and back of the case), a short four-minute look at how hard it is to baby-sit an eye-laser shooting toddler. It offers more laughs than a good hour of the actual film.
There are an insane amount of deleted scenes, totaling over 34 minutes. The longest is an alternate introction. Everything is done with storyboards and Mark Andrews and Bird introce each scene.
Behind the scenes is split into a few different sections. The biggest areas here are two separate making-of documentaries. One comes in at 27-minutes, the other running a crazy 40-minutes. One thing that makes something like this interesting compared to another special effects, CGI laden documentary is the footage of the studios. These guys have fun when they need to wind down and it's always entertaining to watch.
"Incredi-Blunders" is a short reel of mistakes made by the animators, not outtakes that were so hilarious in other films. The section is rounded off with trailers, a photo gallery, and "interviews" with the Incredibles. That's a short feature worth watching.
"Top Secret" goes deeper into the mythology of the film. There's a cartoon called "Mr. Incredible" that manages to be a perfect parody of some early super-hero cartoon shows. For maximum laughter, listen to the commentary from both Flozone and Mr. Incredible himself. It's one of the most entertaining features on this disc. The "NSA (National Super Agency) File" is a text feature that gives an overview of all of extra characters in the film.
"Boundin'" is the final section of the disc, a short feature that played before the film in theaters. You can watch it with or without commentary. This is a wildly different piece from the company, directed by a long-standing animator Bud Luckey. If you're not sure who he is, you can watch a three-minute featurette on who he is and his inspiration for this short. (*****)
Coming in just under two hours, this is the not just the longest Pixar film ever made, it's the longest CG animated movie. It feels like it. Oh, and to all those reviewers out there who thought it was funny to call "The Incredibles" incredible, please stop. That's not a funny play on words; it's stupid. Thank you for your consideration.

The Incredibles is an Academy Award-winning Pixar Animation Studios animated feature film. It was written and developed by Brad Bird, former director of The Simpsons and previously best known for directing the animated movie The Iron Giant. The Incredibles was originally developed as a traditionally-animated movie, but after Warner Bros. shut down its animation division, Brad Bird moved to Pixar and took the story with him.
The Incredibles is Pixar's sixth feature film. It was presented by Walt Disney Pictures and released by Buena Vista Distribution in North America on November 5, 2004, and in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland on November 26 of the same year. It is the first Pixar movie to be rated PG by the MPAA. It was released in a two-disc DVD (in both widescreen and full frame versions) in the U.S. on March 15, 2005. According to the Internet Movie Database, it was the highest-selling DVD of 2005 with 17.38 million copies sold.
MSN Movies ranks The Incredibles as the fourth best superhero movie to date, behind X-Men, Batman Returns, and Spider-Man.[1]
Plot
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
The film opens with three superheroes, Mr. Incredible (Nelson), Elastigirl (Hunter), and Frozone (Jackson), giving a television interview about the trials and tribulations of the superhero life. Says Mr. Incredible, "No matter how many times you save the world, it always manages to get back in jeopardy again. Sometimes I feel like the maid - 'Hey, I just cleaned this mess up! Can we please keep it clean for - for ten minutes?'" As if to prove his own point, he is later interrupted on the way to his own wedding by, variously, a high-speed police chase, a petty thief, the recurring villain Bomb Voyage, a suicidal building jumper, an elevated train en route to a gap in the tracks, a cat stuck in a tree, and, perhaps most aggravatingly, an overeager young fan named Buddy Pine who envisions himself as Mr. Incredible's new sidekick, Incrediboy, and insists on following Mr. Incredible to the site of several disasters, where he continually gets in the way. After angrily sending Buddy packing, Mr. Incredible races to the church, where he is chastised for his tardiness by his new bride, Elastigirl. He assures her that everything ahead will be fine: "We're superheroes. What could possibly happen?" Only days afterward, Mr. Incredible is sued for damages by the man whom he prevented that evening from committing suicide, sparking a chain of costly lawsuits against other prominent superheroes and ultimately resulting in all supers being forcibly decommissioned and relocated, doomed to live out their days undercover under assumed identities.
Fifteen years later, Mr. Incredible, leading a new life as Robert Parr, works for a corrupt cubicle farm insurance company, Insuricare. Against the wishes of his boss/employer, Gilbert Huph, he helps clients by telling them how to get around Insuricare's bureaucracy. Bob's son, Dash (with superspeed) is sent to Principal Walker's office for placing a thumbtack on the chair of his least favorite teacher, Mr. Bernie Kropp. Dash's mother Helen hopes he'll act "normal" and try to fit in, but this seems impossible as they had to relocate multiple times already because of Bob's inability to let go of the past and had just finished three years of packing and unpacking in order to be officially moved in. Her daughter Violet (who can turn invisible and generate force fields, very similar to Invisible Woman) waits outside of the school for an attractive redhead, Tony Rydinger, but is too shy to approach him. At the house over dinner, Dash teases Violet over Violet's crush on Tony (Jack-Jack, still a baby who apparently does not have any powers and can just barely talk, watches in enjoyment) and Bob notices that superhero rights advocate Simon J. Paladino (Gazerbeam), another former superhero, has gone missing. Lucius Best (Frozone) comes over (breaking up the kid's fight by ringing the doorbell) and he and Bob apparently go bowling but secretly perform heroic deeds (and nearly getting caught by the police), not noticing that they are being followed by a mysterious woman. Bob returns home and fights with Helen, who learns what he was doing.
The next dismal morning, Bob is barely attentive to his work and Mr. Huph notices this. Outside, Bob notices a man getting mugged, but Huph threatens to terminate Bob's employment if he leaves. Losing his temper, Bob throws Huph, who flies through several walls, effectively landing in the hospital. Bob loses his job but does not want to relocate again. At home, Bob notices a package in his briefcase. It is a message for him from Mirage, the same woman who followed him and Lucius the night before. She tells him to come to the Island of Nomanisan to stop a renegade, on-the-loose battle robot, the Omnidroid 9000, a job that only Mr. Incredible can do. Remembering his glory days, he accepts and cheats his way out of the house by telling Helen that he is going on a business trip.
On the plane, Mirage tells him that the robot's artificial intelligence enabled it to become sentient and escape on its own. Bob lands on the island (while boarding the pod, Bob's obesity became a problem and it presented itself again after he landed, forcing him to rip the pod open) and eventually finds the robot. The battle that ensues eventually finds its way into a volcano and Bob attempts to destroy it by throwing it into magma in order to avoid being crushed by one of its massive claws, but he strains his back while celebrating. However, the robot comes back out of the lava and tries to tear Bob apart, but instead Bob accidentally gets a chiropractic assist from the assault and his back is straightened out. He goes right into the robot and has it rip out its own reactor, defeating it. Mirage invites Mr. Incredible to dinner after a mysterious voice tells her to, though her employer (the mysterious man) still wishes to remain anonymous.
After he returns home, Bob is a new man, liking his civilian identity and spending more quality time with his wife and kids, getting into shape (by lifting railroad cars for exercise) and buys two new cars—one for himself and one for Helen. Two months later, Bob notices that his super suit had been torn by the Omnidroid ring the battle (Bob even got a cut on his arm and bled just a bit) and goes to Edna Mode (also known as E), for a quick patching job. Edna was a superhero fashion designer who wants to make him a brand new suit, without a cape as several caped superheroes either died or disappeared when their capes became snagged on various objects. For example, Thunderhead had just jarred a missile out of place to prevent it from hitting its target, but his cape landed on a stabilizer fin of the missile, which launched and carried him with it. Edna also patches the old "hobo suit" (albeit reluctantly). Mirage calls Bob with a new assignment and he lands on the island again (before he left, Helen overheard the ending of the conversation. She assumed Bob was cheating on her but does not tell him that). To his surprise, Mr. Incredible finds another battle robot and his employer, Syndrome. Originally Buddy/Incredi-Boy, his dream was crushed when he could not become a superhero (also because of his lack of superpowers) or help Mr. Incredible. His genius allowed him to create new weapons making him a "super" in his own right. Helen catches on and gives Edna a phone call. She states that she conveniently designed costumes for the whole family.
Mr. Incredible, who managed to hide when Syndrome thought he was dead, finds the word Kronos scrawled on a cave wall after coming across Gazerbeam's deteriorated skeleton, which he identifies by the helmet still on its skull that has Gazerbeam's signature "GB" logo. He manages to infiltrate the island fortress and ends up in a huge Cerebro-like computer room, typing in Kronos as the password. To his horror, he finds a huge list of superheroes (including Gazerbeam, who gets a close camera zoom on his face, where his "GB" logo can be seen on his helmet), all killed by the battle robots, and a plot called "Operation Kronos", which would have a tenth Omnidroid fly into Metroville and cause damage, having Syndrome soon stop it by secretly controlling it while he looks like to the public like he is using his own "powers". Helen activates a homing beacon to find Bob (a feature that Edna added into the new costumes), which triggers the alarm that has Mr. Incredible caught by one of Syndrome's tricks. Helen prepares a plane to go to the island and find Bob, leaving instructions to the kids to stay put.
Syndrome grills and "electro-tortures" Bob, who did not know about the homing device or that Helen is coming (with the kids who stowed aboard), but yet, Syndrome does not believe Incredible and keeps on torturing him. The villain launches anti-aircraft missiles at the plane. Violet fails to stop the missiles with her forcefield, but the three survive the plane's destruction thanks to Edna's new suit fabric which is indestructible. Bob, thinking his family is dead, attempts to grab Syndrome, but Mirage pushes him out of the way and gets grabbed instead. Bob threatens to kill her if he is not released, but Syndrome calls his bluff knowing he couldn't (many superheroes do not kill when they can't find it in them, and some do not kill at all because they know in the future, they will become as low as their evil enemies) and he lets her go. Syndrome and Mirage leave, but Mirage begins to realize who the people in the plane were when she hears Bob begin to cry and she begins to pity him.
Helen and the kids make it to the island and prepares to leave them in a cave safely while she looks for Bob. Mirage is displeased with what happened and warns Syndrome that valuing life is not a weakness, disregarding it is not strength and that he should bet his own life next time.
Dash rebels and looks around, going deeper into the cave and discovering that it connects to the rocket launchpad. The rocket launches, but Dash saves himself and Violet by outrunning the booster ignition. Helen infiltrates the base while the kids fight Syndrome's security guards in the jungle. Mirage turns on her boss and lets Mr. Incredible out (Elastigirl arrives and assumes again that Mr. Incredible is indeed cheating on her but still agrees to stick with him). The family regroups and fights Syndrome's security forces, but eventually Syndrome shows up and stops them, taking them all captive.
On Syndrome's plasma television monitor, the Omnidroid causes chaos on the city while Syndrome himself looks on, proudly comparing it to the movies. He reveals the nature of Operation Kronos, saying that he'll allow the robot to cause chaos until he shows up and stops it by remote-controlling it while he fakes doing battle with it, allowing himself to finally become a superhero. He also says when he is old and he's had his fun (when he's retired), he'll mass-market his technology allowing everyone to become super, so that no one will have more super-powers than anyone else. After he leaves, Mr. Incredible believes that all is lost, but Violet breaks the energy streams on her bonds with her force field, and frees the rest of the family. With help from Mirage, they reach the robot's location.
The robot "learns" that Syndrome uses a remote to control and dismantle it. It blasts the remote off his wrist, and damages one of his aero-boots, sending him slamming into a high-rise building, which knocks him unconscious. The family is unable to destroy the robot until Mr. Incredible realizes that the robot's weapons can penetrate its armor, after having a flashback to when he destroyed the previous Omnidroid 08 by hiding inside its frame and letting it stab itself in order to attempt to locate him. The Incredibles sever one of the robot's feet, use the remote control to activate the drill bit, and Mr. Incredible throws it at the robot, destroying it.
People all over thank the Incredibles and Frozone, and the authorities freeze all of Syndrome's assets. When they reach home, however, Syndrome ambushes and immobilizes them, then announces his plan to kidnap Jack-Jack and raise him as a sidekick. He floats up to his escape jet, the family seemingly powerless to stop him. However, Jack-Jack reveals several superpowers to Syndrome, primarily based around shapeshifting, using them to attack him viciously. Syndrome is apparently killed when Mr. Incredible throws a car at the plane and Syndrome's cape gets caught in the engine's intake. Violet saves the family from being crushed by burning plane wreckage by shielding them, much to the amazement of one of their neighbors, a tricycle-riding boy.
Three months later, Violet is brave enough to speak to Tony (although it was Tony who came to her) and they plan on going to the movies on Friday (Violet offers to purchase the popcorn). Dash is finally allowed to compete in spectator sports, as long as he keeps to finishing in second place. As the family begins to walk to their van from one such sporting event, a new supervillain, The Underminer, threatens the world for the first time. The Parrs put on their masks and are already wearing their uniforms underneath their civilian outfits, as Mr. Incredible reveals in Superman-like style, ready to save the day once again, which sets The Incredibles: Rise of the Underminer, the video game sequel to the movie, on a perfect start.

It's a real shame that most people probably don't know Brad Bird. If they did, they would know about the "Iron Giant," a completely ignored animated movie from 1999 that never got the credit it deserved.

The Incredibles is an Academy Award-winning Pixar Animation Studios animated feature film. It was written and developed by Brad Bird, former director of The Simpsons and previously best known for directing the animated movie The Iron Giant. The Incredibles was originally developed as a traditionally-animated movie, but after Warner Bros. shut down its animation division, Brad Bird moved to Pixar and took the story with him.
The Incredibles is Pixar's sixth feature film. It was presented by Walt Disney Pictures and released by Buena Vista Distribution in North America on November 5, 2004, and in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland on November 26 of the same year. It is the first Pixar movie to be rated PG by the MPAA. It was released in a two-disc DVD (in both widescreen and full frame versions) in the U.S. on March 15, 2005. According to the Internet Movie Database, it was the highest-selling DVD of 2005 with 17.38 million copies sold.
MSN Movies ranks The Incredibles as the fourth best superhero movie to date, behind X-Men, Batman Returns, and Spider-Man.[1]
Plot
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
The film opens with three superheroes, Mr. Incredible (Nelson), Elastigirl (Hunter), and Frozone (Jackson), giving a television interview about the trials and tribulations of the superhero life. Says Mr. Incredible, "No matter how many times you save the world, it always manages to get back in jeopardy again. Sometimes I feel like the maid - 'Hey, I just cleaned this mess up! Can we please keep it clean for - for ten minutes?'" As if to prove his own point, he is later interrupted on the way to his own wedding by, variously, a high-speed police chase, a petty thief, the recurring villain Bomb Voyage, a suicidal building jumper, an elevated train en route to a gap in the tracks, a cat stuck in a tree, and, perhaps most aggravatingly, an overeager young fan named Buddy Pine who envisions himself as Mr. Incredible's new sidekick, Incrediboy, and insists on following Mr. Incredible to the site of several disasters, where he continually gets in the way. After angrily sending Buddy packing, Mr. Incredible races to the church, where he is chastised for his tardiness by his new bride, Elastigirl. He assures her that everything ahead will be fine: "We're superheroes. What could possibly happen?" Only days afterward, Mr. Incredible is sued for damages by the man whom he prevented that evening from committing suicide, sparking a chain of costly lawsuits against other prominent superheroes and ultimately resulting in all supers being forcibly decommissioned and relocated, doomed to live out their days undercover under assumed identities.
Fifteen years later, Mr. Incredible, leading a new life as Robert Parr, works for a corrupt cubicle farm insurance company, Insuricare. Against the wishes of his boss/employer, Gilbert Huph, he helps clients by telling them how to get around Insuricare's bureaucracy. Bob's son, Dash (with superspeed) is sent to Principal Walker's office for placing a thumbtack on the chair of his least favorite teacher, Mr. Bernie Kropp. Dash's mother Helen hopes he'll act "normal" and try to fit in, but this seems impossible as they had to relocate multiple times already because of Bob's inability to let go of the past and had just finished three years of packing and unpacking in order to be officially moved in. Her daughter Violet (who can turn invisible and generate force fields, very similar to Invisible Woman) waits outside of the school for an attractive redhead, Tony Rydinger, but is too shy to approach him. At the house over dinner, Dash teases Violet over Violet's crush on Tony (Jack-Jack, still a baby who apparently does not have any powers and can just barely talk, watches in enjoyment) and Bob notices that superhero rights advocate Simon J. Paladino (Gazerbeam), another former superhero, has gone missing. Lucius Best (Frozone) comes over (breaking up the kid's fight by ringing the doorbell) and he and Bob apparently go bowling but secretly perform heroic deeds (and nearly getting caught by the police), not noticing that they are being followed by a mysterious woman. Bob returns home and fights with Helen, who learns what he was doing.
The next dismal morning, Bob is barely attentive to his work and Mr. Huph notices this. Outside, Bob notices a man getting mugged, but Huph threatens to terminate Bob's employment if he leaves. Losing his temper, Bob throws Huph, who flies through several walls, effectively landing in the hospital. Bob loses his job but does not want to relocate again. At home, Bob notices a package in his briefcase. It is a message for him from Mirage, the same woman who followed him and Lucius the night before. She tells him to come to the Island of Nomanisan to stop a renegade, on-the-loose battle robot, the Omnidroid 9000, a job that only Mr. Incredible can do. Remembering his glory days, he accepts and cheats his way out of the house by telling Helen that he is going on a business trip.
On the plane, Mirage tells him that the robot's artificial intelligence enabled it to become sentient and escape on its own. Bob lands on the island (while boarding the pod, Bob's obesity became a problem and it presented itself again after he landed, forcing him to rip the pod open) and eventually finds the robot. The battle that ensues eventually finds its way into a volcano and Bob attempts to destroy it by throwing it into magma in order to avoid being crushed by one of its massive claws, but he strains his back while celebrating. However, the robot comes back out of the lava and tries to tear Bob apart, but instead Bob accidentally gets a chiropractic assist from the assault and his back is straightened out. He goes right into the robot and has it rip out its own reactor, defeating it. Mirage invites Mr. Incredible to dinner after a mysterious voice tells her to, though her employer (the mysterious man) still wishes to remain anonymous.
After he returns home, Bob is a new man, liking his civilian identity and spending more quality time with his wife and kids, getting into shape (by lifting railroad cars for exercise) and buys two new cars—one for himself and one for Helen. Two months later, Bob notices that his super suit had been torn by the Omnidroid ring the battle (Bob even got a cut on his arm and bled just a bit) and goes to Edna Mode (also known as E), for a quick patching job. Edna was a superhero fashion designer who wants to make him a brand new suit, without a cape as several caped superheroes either died or disappeared when their capes became snagged on various objects. For example, Thunderhead had just jarred a missile out of place to prevent it from hitting its target, but his cape landed on a stabilizer fin of the missile, which launched and carried him with it. Edna also patches the old "hobo suit" (albeit reluctantly). Mirage calls Bob with a new assignment and he lands on the island again (before he left, Helen overheard the ending of the conversation. She assumed Bob was cheating on her but does not tell him that). To his surprise, Mr. Incredible finds another battle robot and his employer, Syndrome. Originally Buddy/Incredi-Boy, his dream was crushed when he could not become a superhero (also because of his lack of superpowers) or help Mr. Incredible. His genius allowed him to create new weapons making him a "super" in his own right. Helen catches on and gives Edna a phone call. She states that she conveniently designed costumes for the whole family.
Mr. Incredible, who managed to hide when Syndrome thought he was dead, finds the word Kronos scrawled on a cave wall after coming across Gazerbeam's deteriorated skeleton, which he identifies by the helmet still on its skull that has Gazerbeam's signature "GB" logo. He manages to infiltrate the island fortress and ends up in a huge Cerebro-like computer room, typing in Kronos as the password. To his horror, he finds a huge list of superheroes (including Gazerbeam, who gets a close camera zoom on his face, where his "GB" logo can be seen on his helmet), all killed by the battle robots, and a plot called "Operation Kronos", which would have a tenth Omnidroid fly into Metroville and cause damage, having Syndrome soon stop it by secretly controlling it while he looks like to the public like he is using his own "powers". Helen activates a homing beacon to find Bob (a feature that Edna added into the new costumes), which triggers the alarm that has Mr. Incredible caught by one of Syndrome's tricks. Helen prepares a plane to go to the island and find Bob, leaving instructions to the kids to stay put.
Syndrome grills and "electro-tortures" Bob, who did not know about the homing device or that Helen is coming (with the kids who stowed aboard), but yet, Syndrome does not believe Incredible and keeps on torturing him. The villain launches anti-aircraft missiles at the plane. Violet fails to stop the missiles with her forcefield, but the three survive the plane's destruction thanks to Edna's new suit fabric which is indestructible. Bob, thinking his family is dead, attempts to grab Syndrome, but Mirage pushes him out of the way and gets grabbed instead. Bob threatens to kill her if he is not released, but Syndrome calls his bluff knowing he couldn't (many superheroes do not kill when they can't find it in them, and some do not kill at all because they know in the future, they will become as low as their evil enemies) and he lets her go. Syndrome and Mirage leave, but Mirage begins to realize who the people in the plane were when she hears Bob begin to cry and she begins to pity him.
Helen and the kids make it to the island and prepares to leave them in a cave safely while she looks for Bob. Mirage is displeased with what happened and warns Syndrome that valuing life is not a weakness, disregarding it is not strength and that he should bet his own life next time.
Dash rebels and looks around, going deeper into the cave and discovering that it connects to the rocket launchpad. The rocket launches, but Dash saves himself and Violet by outrunning the booster ignition. Helen infiltrates the base while the kids fight Syndrome's security guards in the jungle. Mirage turns on her boss and lets Mr. Incredible out (Elastigirl arrives and assumes again that Mr. Incredible is indeed cheating on her but still agrees to stick with him). The family regroups and fights Syndrome's security forces, but eventually Syndrome shows up and stops them, taking them all captive.
On Syndrome's plasma television monitor, the Omnidroid causes chaos on the city while Syndrome himself looks on, proudly comparing it to the movies. He reveals the nature of Operation Kronos, saying that he'll allow the robot to cause chaos until he shows up and stops it by remote-controlling it while he fakes doing battle with it, allowing himself to finally become a superhero. He also says when he is old and he's had his fun (when he's retired), he'll mass-market his technology allowing everyone to become super, so that no one will have more super-powers than anyone else. After he leaves, Mr. Incredible believes that all is lost, but Violet breaks the energy streams on her bonds with her force field, and frees the rest of the family. With help from Mirage, they reach the robot's location.
The robot "learns" that Syndrome uses a remote to control and dismantle it. It blasts the remote off his wrist, and damages one of his aero-boots, sending him slamming into a high-rise building, which knocks him unconscious. The family is unable to destroy the robot until Mr. Incredible realizes that the robot's weapons can penetrate its armor, after having a flashback to when he destroyed the previous Omnidroid 08 by hiding inside its frame and letting it stab itself in order to attempt to locate him. The Incredibles sever one of the robot's feet, use the remote control to activate the drill bit, and Mr. Incredible throws it at the robot, destroying it.
People all over thank the Incredibles and Frozone, and the authorities freeze all of Syndrome's assets. When they reach home, however, Syndrome ambushes and immobilizes them, then announces his plan to kidnap Jack-Jack and raise him as a sidekick. He floats up to his escape jet, the family seemingly powerless to stop him. However, Jack-Jack reveals several superpowers to Syndrome, primarily based around shapeshifting, using them to attack him viciously. Syndrome is apparently killed when Mr. Incredible throws a car at the plane and Syndrome's cape gets caught in the engine's intake. Violet saves the family from being crushed by burning plane wreckage by shielding them, much to the amazement of one of their neighbors, a tricycle-riding boy.
Three months later, Violet is brave enough to speak to Tony (although it was Tony who came to her) and they plan on going to the movies on Friday (Violet offers to purchase the popcorn). Dash is finally allowed to compete in spectator sports, as long as he keeps to finishing in second place. As the family begins to walk to their van from one such sporting event, a new supervillain, The Underminer, threatens the world for the first time. The Parrs put on their masks and are already wearing their uniforms underneath their civilian outfits, as Mr. Incredible reveals in Superman-like style, ready to save the day once again, which sets The Incredibles: Rise of the Underminer, the video game sequel to the movie, on a perfect start.

《超人特工队》打破皮克斯惯例，加入*内容，希望在反常规中创造奇迹。
皮克斯工作室曾经制作过《玩具总动员》、《虫虫特工队》、《怪物公司》、《海底总动员》等3D动画片，每一部都叫好又叫座。和皮克斯以往的作品相比，《超人特工队》可谓是个异类。首先，以往皮克斯电影的主人公都是非人类，比如玩具、昆虫、怪物和小鱼之类，但《超人特工队》的主人公却是人类。更重要的是，和皮克斯以往的片子不同，《超人特工队》面向的观众不只是儿童，还包括*。
《超人特工队》的主人公“无敌超人”正面对“中年危机”，恐怕小朋友们很难理解个中滋味；这部影片戏仿了詹姆斯·邦德系列片和《蜘蛛侠》一类的大片，这对于小观众来说可能太艰深；而且这部电影可能会把一些小孩子搞晕，因为有些场面太激烈了。
《超人特工队》的导演布拉德·伯德曾经导演过一部叫好不叫座的电影《钢铁巨人》，皮克斯工作室买下了他写的《超人特工队》的剧本并请他导演这部影片，这也是皮克斯第一次制作非本工作室内部人员创作剧本的大片。
伯德表示，包括《玩具总动员》的导演约翰·拉塞特在内的皮克斯公司高层人物给了他很多建议，但从没想过把他从原来的轨道上拉走。
外界有很多人怀疑《超人特工队》这种非常规的皮克斯电影能否取得成功，布拉德·伯德说他既感到很大压力，因为皮克斯公司的业绩一直步步攀升，所以如果这部电影的首映票房比《海底总动员》低100万美元，就会有人说它终结了皮克斯的辉煌。然而，正像当初很少有人看好的《玩具总动员》，却获得了无与伦比的成功。
■《超人家族》剧情
曾几何时，无敌超人和橡皮女两口子联手惩强扶弱，匡扶正义，以巨大的威力名震江湖。然而在一次可怕事故之后，他们被*的“超级英雄保护计划”雪藏起来，海伦变成了一个家庭主妇，专心照顾他们的三个孩子紫罗兰、小飞侠和杰克·杰克。
他们不知道的是，当初的老对头还在暗中活动，他们释放了大恶人“雷公指”，此人的野心是征服世界。超人家族不得不再次出山，然而今非昔比，无敌超人已经年届中年，自己的大肚腩已经成了他可怕的敌人。（记者刘铮）

记者：你是怎样开始与皮克斯（Pixar）合作的？
伯德：我可以说是那个系统中的第一个病毒。我认识约翰（注：指JohnLasseter，皮克斯高层）很久了，他们说自《虫虫特工队》（Bug‘sLife）就开始注意我。我一直很喜欢《玩具总动员》（ToyStory），所以早就对皮克斯心生向往。皮克斯他们好像很喜欢我的《钢铁巨人》。皮克斯的可贵之处在于，他们不是说，“我们有我们的方式，如果你要来拍片，故事里一定要有那十项元素”，他们不搞那一套，他们说他们最怕的就是自满和止步不前。他们总是希望尝试新的东西。
记者：3D技术对你来说是负担还是利器？
伯德：我觉得无论媒介是什么，不管是动画片还是动作片，最重要的元素始终是角色和剧情，剧情要能从情感上打动你。回想那些打动你的电影时，就会明白这点。角色和剧情才是决定影片成败的关键，技术与它其实没什么关系。
记者：你觉得“真实”和“令人觉得真实”之间如何取得平衡？
伯德：电脑动画界有一种做法是力图达到照相机的真实。如果你要造一个咕噜（注：《魔戒》中的角色），并且要它和真人一起演出，那确实需要这样的真实。但对我自己来说，我在影片里是力图制造一种风格化的人物，它们不是在外貌细节上真实，而是令人感觉真实。那里面有种滑稽的感觉。
记者：能否谈一下“冰雪飞侠”这个角色，以及为它配音的萨缪尔·杰克逊？
伯德：那是一种“北极式的”角色，它要有那种很强的权力感。冰雪飞侠永远是100％的酷，我想没有谁比杰克逊更酷。他在每一部电影里都尽力摆脱角色类型的*。他能演《红色小提琴》（RedVio鄄lin），可他演《低俗小说》（Pulp Fiction）也胜任有余。
记者：你在片中似乎传达了这样一种信息，超人英雄也是会死的。
伯德：在生活中他们确实会死。我觉得强调这点很重要，因为观众总是在情感上会过于倾向超级英雄，尤其是在看动画片时。另外我和皮克斯都不认为动画片就是给儿童看的，很多人回忆起小时候看过的最惨烈的动画都是《小鹿斑比》（Bambi），因为那里面的那个妈妈死了。但我决不愿意改动这部动画的哪怕一个帧。《小鹿斑比》的力量就在于它告诉了我们，好人也是会死的，而就算他们死了，生活也是会继续，你还是应该继续好好地生活。（

It's a real shame that most people probably don't know Brad Bird. If they did, they would know about the "Iron Giant," a completely ignored animated movie from 1999 that never got the credit it deserved. Now he's all over the place for "The Incredibles," another ride into the Pixar way of filmmaking.
Mr. Incredible (Craig T. Nelson) was in his prime, saving people from certain doom... until the lawsuits hit. One by one, people began suing superheroes for a variety of reasons and the government stepped in to relocate them all, including his family. Now known as Bob Parr and given a day job at an insurance company, his life is miserable, until he receives a secret message that can get him back to his real job. What he discovers is a world take over plot, and he needs his entire family to pull him out.
The first half hour or so of "The Incredibles" is nothing short of brilliant. It maintains that charm, all-ages humor, and rapid fire pacing audiences have come to expect from this animation studio. The simple idea of a super hero being taken out of his or her element is genius and it's a wonder why no one thought of that before.
Then it nosedives. Quickly. The comedy is gone and all we're left with a simple action movie with a few nice homage's to some classic films. It's very generic, simple, and flat out uninteresting. Oh sure, for a kid, this is probably a great movie along with plenty of merchandising opportunity. It completely loses that alt audience that was so fixated on the magic of something like "Toy Story" or "A Bugs Life."
All it really becomes is a generic parody of comic book and movie super heroes. They even touch on another way to handle this one, the husbands sneaking out late at night to perform heroic deeds, only to come home and be yelled at by their wives. That's funny, not to mention hugely entertaining. Where is there need to become some all out action epic? That's really not what was advertised and it puts people into the wrong mindset going in.
Then you have a decent set of characters, including some that are entirely wasted. Frozone is voiced by Samuel L. Jackson and gets plenty of screen time in the early going (a great "Die Hard 3" parody included). Where is he for the rest of the movie? Oh, quietly sitting on the sidelines until the final battle so parents are forced to run out and buy more merchandise since he'll be fresh on kid's minds.
For Brad Bird fans, things here are going to seem awfully familiar. The final segment is another robot-on-the-loose tip-of-the-hat to 1950s sci-fi, just like "The Iron Giant." However, none of the magic that was contained in that film is retained here. Everything thrown on screen is there to look good and impress fans of this style.
Then again, the only thing saving this film from a complete pitfall is the animation. So much has been done and there's so much more power available, that something you wouldn't even think was important (like hair), is just stunning here. The water effects are some of the best you'll ever see come out of computer. However, all of the computing power in the world doesn't make a great movie and that little dash of originality in the opening is nowhere near enough to make up for the rest of it. (** out of *****)
With no film to degrade, there's little that can go wrong with a Pixar DVD transfer. With this oddly ratioed 2.39:1 picture, there is. The bright red suits of the title heroes are just too much for the format to handle. Compression is heavy, even if the rest of the film looks stunning. Bleeding can be prevalent at times, hindering a transfer that is just one notch short of absolute perfection. There's no way around it. If the other Pixar discs didn't exist, this would be the best you could buy. Unfortunately, they do, and "The Incredibles" just doesn't stack up, at least comparatively. (****)
Presented in 5.1 EX, the disc makes up for those minor visual shortcomings with this audio mix. Bass should never be this strong without a little DTS logo somewhere on the packaging. Movement (check out Dash running around the dining room) is captured flawlessly. The use of the surround channels never seems forced or overdone. Dialogue is perfectly blended, even ring the most intense action sequences. You can't get much more than this. (*****)
The same goes for the always-exhaustive feature set. Disc one of course contains the film and two commentary tracks. Brad Bird commands the first along with his procer, John Walker. A ton of the animation crew then handles the second. Enthusiasm is infectious ring both and they're well worth a listen either way.
Disc two contains the type of feature set that gives a reviewer wrist cramps. Bird starts things off with a basic introction that overviews everything. "Jack-Jack Attack" is heavily promoted (on both the front and back of the case), a short four-minute look at how hard it is to baby-sit an eye-laser shooting toddler. It offers more laughs than a good hour of the actual film.
There are an insane amount of deleted scenes, totaling over 34 minutes. The longest is an alternate introction. Everything is done with storyboards and Mark Andrews and Bird introce each scene.
Behind the scenes is split into a few different sections. The biggest areas here are two separate making-of documentaries. One comes in at 27-minutes, the other running a crazy 40-minutes. One thing that makes something like this interesting compared to another special effects, CGI laden documentary is the footage of the studios. These guys have fun when they need to wind down and it's always entertaining to watch.
"Incredi-Blunders" is a short reel of mistakes made by the animators, not outtakes that were so hilarious in other films. The section is rounded off with trailers, a photo gallery, and "interviews" with the Incredibles. That's a short feature worth watching.
"Top Secret" goes deeper into the mythology of the film. There's a cartoon called "Mr. Incredible" that manages to be a perfect parody of some early super-hero cartoon shows. For maximum laughter, listen to the commentary from both Flozone and Mr. Incredible himself. It's one of the most entertaining features on this disc. The "NSA (National Super Agency) File" is a text feature that gives an overview of all of extra characters in the film.
"Boundin'" is the final section of the disc, a short feature that played before the film in theaters. You can watch it with or without commentary. This is a wildly different piece from the company, directed by a long-standing animator Bud Luckey. If you're not sure who he is, you can watch a three-minute featurette on who he is and his inspiration for this short. (*****)
Coming in just under two hours, this is the not just the longest Pixar film ever made, it's the longest CG animated movie. It feels like it. Oh, and to all those reviewers out there who thought it was funny to call "The Incredibles" incredible, please stop. That's not a funny play on words; it's stupid. Thank you for your consideration.

The Incredibles is an Academy Award-winning Pixar Animation Studios animated feature film. It was written and developed by Brad Bird, former director of The Simpsons and previously best known for directing the animated movie The Iron Giant. The Incredibles was originally developed as a traditionally-animated movie, but after Warner Bros. shut down its animation division, Brad Bird moved to Pixar and took the story with him.
The Incredibles is Pixar's sixth feature film. It was presented by Walt Disney Pictures and released by Buena Vista Distribution in North America on November 5, 2004, and in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland on November 26 of the same year. It is the first Pixar movie to be rated PG by the MPAA. It was released in a two-disc DVD (in both widescreen and full frame versions) in the U.S. on March 15, 2005. According to the Internet Movie Database, it was the highest-selling DVD of 2005 with 17.38 million copies sold.
MSN Movies ranks The Incredibles as the fourth best superhero movie to date, behind X-Men, Batman Returns, and Spider-Man.[1]
Plot
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
The film opens with three superheroes, Mr. Incredible (Nelson), Elastigirl (Hunter), and Frozone (Jackson), giving a television interview about the trials and tribulations of the superhero life. Says Mr. Incredible, "No matter how many times you save the world, it always manages to get back in jeopardy again. Sometimes I feel like the maid - 'Hey, I just cleaned this mess up! Can we please keep it clean for - for ten minutes?'" As if to prove his own point, he is later interrupted on the way to his own wedding by, variously, a high-speed police chase, a petty thief, the recurring villain Bomb Voyage, a suicidal building jumper, an elevated train en route to a gap in the tracks, a cat stuck in a tree, and, perhaps most aggravatingly, an overeager young fan named Buddy Pine who envisions himself as Mr. Incredible's new sidekick, Incrediboy, and insists on following Mr. Incredible to the site of several disasters, where he continually gets in the way. After angrily sending Buddy packing, Mr. Incredible races to the church, where he is chastised for his tardiness by his new bride, Elastigirl. He assures her that everything ahead will be fine: "We're superheroes. What could possibly happen?" Only days afterward, Mr. Incredible is sued for damages by the man whom he prevented that evening from committing suicide, sparking a chain of costly lawsuits against other prominent superheroes and ultimately resulting in all supers being forcibly decommissioned and relocated, doomed to live out their days undercover under assumed identities.
Fifteen years later, Mr. Incredible, leading a new life as Robert Parr, works for a corrupt cubicle farm insurance company, Insuricare. Against the wishes of his boss/employer, Gilbert Huph, he helps clients by telling them how to get around Insuricare's bureaucracy. Bob's son, Dash (with superspeed) is sent to Principal Walker's office for placing a thumbtack on the chair of his least favorite teacher, Mr. Bernie Kropp. Dash's mother Helen hopes he'll act "normal" and try to fit in, but this seems impossible as they had to relocate multiple times already because of Bob's inability to let go of the past and had just finished three years of packing and unpacking in order to be officially moved in. Her daughter Violet (who can turn invisible and generate force fields, very similar to Invisible Woman) waits outside of the school for an attractive redhead, Tony Rydinger, but is too shy to approach him. At the house over dinner, Dash teases Violet over Violet's crush on Tony (Jack-Jack, still a baby who apparently does not have any powers and can just barely talk, watches in enjoyment) and Bob notices that superhero rights advocate Simon J. Paladino (Gazerbeam), another former superhero, has gone missing. Lucius Best (Frozone) comes over (breaking up the kid's fight by ringing the doorbell) and he and Bob apparently go bowling but secretly perform heroic deeds (and nearly getting caught by the police), not noticing that they are being followed by a mysterious woman. Bob returns home and fights with Helen, who learns what he was doing.
The next dismal morning, Bob is barely attentive to his work and Mr. Huph notices this. Outside, Bob notices a man getting mugged, but Huph threatens to terminate Bob's employment if he leaves. Losing his temper, Bob throws Huph, who flies through several walls, effectively landing in the hospital. Bob loses his job but does not want to relocate again. At home, Bob notices a package in his briefcase. It is a message for him from Mirage, the same woman who followed him and Lucius the night before. She tells him to come to the Island of Nomanisan to stop a renegade, on-the-loose battle robot, the Omnidroid 9000, a job that only Mr. Incredible can do. Remembering his glory days, he accepts and cheats his way out of the house by telling Helen that he is going on a business trip.
On the plane, Mirage tells him that the robot's artificial intelligence enabled it to become sentient and escape on its own. Bob lands on the island (while boarding the pod, Bob's obesity became a problem and it presented itself again after he landed, forcing him to rip the pod open) and eventually finds the robot. The battle that ensues eventually finds its way into a volcano and Bob attempts to destroy it by throwing it into magma in order to avoid being crushed by one of its massive claws, but he strains his back while celebrating. However, the robot comes back out of the lava and tries to tear Bob apart, but instead Bob accidentally gets a chiropractic assist from the assault and his back is straightened out. He goes right into the robot and has it rip out its own reactor, defeating it. Mirage invites Mr. Incredible to dinner after a mysterious voice tells her to, though her employer (the mysterious man) still wishes to remain anonymous.
After he returns home, Bob is a new man, liking his civilian identity and spending more quality time with his wife and kids, getting into shape (by lifting railroad cars for exercise) and buys two new cars—one for himself and one for Helen. Two months later, Bob notices that his super suit had been torn by the Omnidroid ring the battle (Bob even got a cut on his arm and bled just a bit) and goes to Edna Mode (also known as E), for a quick patching job. Edna was a superhero fashion designer who wants to make him a brand new suit, without a cape as several caped superheroes either died or disappeared when their capes became snagged on various objects. For example, Thunderhead had just jarred a missile out of place to prevent it from hitting its target, but his cape landed on a stabilizer fin of the missile, which launched and carried him with it. Edna also patches the old "hobo suit" (albeit reluctantly). Mirage calls Bob with a new assignment and he lands on the island again (before he left, Helen overheard the ending of the conversation. She assumed Bob was cheating on her but does not tell him that). To his surprise, Mr. Incredible finds another battle robot and his employer, Syndrome. Originally Buddy/Incredi-Boy, his dream was crushed when he could not become a superhero (also because of his lack of superpowers) or help Mr. Incredible. His genius allowed him to create new weapons making him a "super" in his own right. Helen catches on and gives Edna a phone call. She states that she conveniently designed costumes for the whole family.
Mr. Incredible, who managed to hide when Syndrome thought he was dead, finds the word Kronos scrawled on a cave wall after coming across Gazerbeam's deteriorated skeleton, which he identifies by the helmet still on its skull that has Gazerbeam's signature "GB" logo. He manages to infiltrate the island fortress and ends up in a huge Cerebro-like computer room, typing in Kronos as the password. To his horror, he finds a huge list of superheroes (including Gazerbeam, who gets a close camera zoom on his face, where his "GB" logo can be seen on his helmet), all killed by the battle robots, and a plot called "Operation Kronos", which would have a tenth Omnidroid fly into Metroville and cause damage, having Syndrome soon stop it by secretly controlling it while he looks like to the public like he is using his own "powers". Helen activates a homing beacon to find Bob (a feature that Edna added into the new costumes), which triggers the alarm that has Mr. Incredible caught by one of Syndrome's tricks. Helen prepares a plane to go to the island and find Bob, leaving instructions to the kids to stay put.
Syndrome grills and "electro-tortures" Bob, who did not know about the homing device or that Helen is coming (with the kids who stowed aboard), but yet, Syndrome does not believe Incredible and keeps on torturing him. The villain launches anti-aircraft missiles at the plane. Violet fails to stop the missiles with her forcefield, but the three survive the plane's destruction thanks to Edna's new suit fabric which is indestructible. Bob, thinking his family is dead, attempts to grab Syndrome, but Mirage pushes him out of the way and gets grabbed instead. Bob threatens to kill her if he is not released, but Syndrome calls his bluff knowing he couldn't (many superheroes do not kill when they can't find it in them, and some do not kill at all because they know in the future, they will become as low as their evil enemies) and he lets her go. Syndrome and Mirage leave, but Mirage begins to realize who the people in the plane were when she hears Bob begin to cry and she begins to pity him.
Helen and the kids make it to the island and prepares to leave them in a cave safely while she looks for Bob. Mirage is displeased with what happened and warns Syndrome that valuing life is not a weakness, disregarding it is not strength and that he should bet his own life next time.
Dash rebels and looks around, going deeper into the cave and discovering that it connects to the rocket launchpad. The rocket launches, but Dash saves himself and Violet by outrunning the booster ignition. Helen infiltrates the base while the kids fight Syndrome's security guards in the jungle. Mirage turns on her boss and lets Mr. Incredible out (Elastigirl arrives and assumes again that Mr. Incredible is indeed cheating on her but still agrees to stick with him). The family regroups and fights Syndrome's security forces, but eventually Syndrome shows up and stops them, taking them all captive.
On Syndrome's plasma television monitor, the Omnidroid causes chaos on the city while Syndrome himself looks on, proudly comparing it to the movies. He reveals the nature of Operation Kronos, saying that he'll allow the robot to cause chaos until he shows up and stops it by remote-controlling it while he fakes doing battle with it, allowing himself to finally become a superhero. He also says when he is old and he's had his fun (when he's retired), he'll mass-market his technology allowing everyone to become super, so that no one will have more super-powers than anyone else. After he leaves, Mr. Incredible believes that all is lost, but Violet breaks the energy streams on her bonds with her force field, and frees the rest of the family. With help from Mirage, they reach the robot's location.
The robot "learns" that Syndrome uses a remote to control and dismantle it. It blasts the remote off his wrist, and damages one of his aero-boots, sending him slamming into a high-rise building, which knocks him unconscious. The family is unable to destroy the robot until Mr. Incredible realizes that the robot's weapons can penetrate its armor, after having a flashback to when he destroyed the previous Omnidroid 08 by hiding inside its frame and letting it stab itself in order to attempt to locate him. The Incredibles sever one of the robot's feet, use the remote control to activate the drill bit, and Mr. Incredible throws it at the robot, destroying it.
People all over thank the Incredibles and Frozone, and the authorities freeze all of Syndrome's assets. When they reach home, however, Syndrome ambushes and immobilizes them, then announces his plan to kidnap Jack-Jack and raise him as a sidekick. He floats up to his escape jet, the family seemingly powerless to stop him. However, Jack-Jack reveals several superpowers to Syndrome, primarily based around shapeshifting, using them to attack him viciously. Syndrome is apparently killed when Mr. Incredible throws a car at the plane and Syndrome's cape gets caught in the engine's intake. Violet saves the family from being crushed by burning plane wreckage by shielding them, much to the amazement of one of their neighbors, a tricycle-riding boy.
Three months later, Violet is brave enough to speak to Tony (although it was Tony who came to her) and they plan on going to the movies on Friday (Violet offers to purchase the popcorn). Dash is finally allowed to compete in spectator sports, as long as he keeps to finishing in second place. As the family begins to walk to their van from one such sporting event, a new supervillain, The Underminer, threatens the world for the first time. The Parrs put on their masks and are already wearing their uniforms underneath their civilian outfits, as Mr. Incredible reveals in Superman-like style, ready to save the day once again, which sets The Incredibles: Rise of the Underminer, the video game sequel to the movie, on a perfect start.

《超人特工队》打破皮克斯惯例，加入*内容，希望在反常规中创造奇迹。
皮克斯工作室曾经制作过《玩具总动员》、《虫虫特工队》、《怪物公司》、《海底总动员》等3D动画片，每一部都叫好又叫座。和皮克斯以往的作品相比，《超人特工队》可谓是个异类。首先，以往皮克斯电影的主人公都是非人类，比如玩具、昆虫、怪物和小鱼之类，但《超人特工队》的主人公却是人类。更重要的是，和皮克斯以往的片子不同，《超人特工队》面向的观众不只是儿童，还包括*。
《超人特工队》的主人公“无敌超人”正面对“中年危机”，恐怕小朋友们很难理解个中滋味；这部影片戏仿了詹姆斯·邦德系列片和《蜘蛛侠》一类的大片，这对于小观众来说可能太艰深；而且这部电影可能会把一些小孩子搞晕，因为有些场面太激烈了。
《超人特工队》的导演布拉德·伯德曾经导演过一部叫好不叫座的电影《钢铁巨人》，皮克斯工作室买下了他写的《超人特工队》的剧本并请他导演这部影片，这也是皮克斯第一次制作非本工作室内部人员创作剧本的大片。
伯德表示，包括《玩具总动员》的导演约翰·拉塞特在内的皮克斯公司高层人物给了他很多建议，但从没想过把他从原来的轨道上拉走。
外界有很多人怀疑《超人特工队》这种非常规的皮克斯电影能否取得成功，布拉德·伯德说他既感到很大压力，因为皮克斯公司的业绩一直步步攀升，所以如果这部电影的首映票房比《海底总动员》低100万美元，就会有人说它终结了皮克斯的辉煌。然而，正像当初很少有人看好的《玩具总动员》，却获得了无与伦比的成功。
■《超人家族》剧情
曾几何时，无敌超人和橡皮女两口子联手惩强扶弱，匡扶正义，以巨大的威力名震江湖。然而在一次可怕事故之后，他们被*的“超级英雄保护计划”雪藏起来，海伦变成了一个家庭主妇，专心照顾他们的三个孩子紫罗兰、小飞侠和杰克·杰克。
他们不知道的是，当初的老对头还在暗中活动，他们释放了大恶人“雷公指”，此人的野心是征服世界。超人家族不得不再次出山，然而今非昔比，无敌超人已经年届中年，自己的大肚腩已经成了他可怕的敌人。（记者刘铮）

曾执导电视剧《阿森一族》，导演伯德：
超人英雄也是会死的
超人的战友，会冷冻术的冰雪飞侠。
超人的敌人，拥有邪术的雷公指。
会隐身术的紫罗兰。
记者：你是怎样开始与皮克斯（Pixar）合作的？
伯德：我可以说是那个系统中的第一个病毒。我认识约翰（注：指JohnLasseter，皮克斯高层）很久了，他们说自《虫虫特工队》（Bug‘sLife）就开始注意我。我一直很喜欢《玩具总动员》（ToyStory），所以早就对皮克斯心生向往。皮克斯他们好像很喜欢我的《钢铁巨人》。皮克斯的可贵之处在于，他们不是说，“我们有我们的方式，如果你要来拍片，故事里一定要有那十项元素”，他们不搞那一套，他们说他们最怕的就是自满和止步不前。他们总是希望尝试新的东西。
记者：3D技术对你来说是负担还是利器？
伯德：我觉得无论媒介是什么，不管是动画片还是动作片，最重要的元素始终是角色和剧情，剧情要能从情感上打动你。回想那些打动你的电影时，就会明白这点。角色和剧情才是决定影片成败的关键，技术与它其实没什么关系。
记者：你觉得“真实”和“令人觉得真实”之间如何取得平衡？
伯德：电脑动画界有一种做法是力图达到照相机的真实。如果你要造一个咕噜（注：《魔戒》中的角色），并且要它和真人一起演出，那确实需要这样的真实。但对我自己来说，我在影片里是力图制造一种风格化的人物，它们不是在外貌细节上真实，而是令人感觉真实。那里面有种滑稽的感觉。
记者：能否谈一下“冰雪飞侠”这个角色，以及为它配音的萨缪尔·杰克逊？
伯德：那是一种“北极式的”角色，它要有那种很强的权力感。冰雪飞侠永远是100％的酷，我想没有谁比杰克逊更酷。他在每一部电影里都尽力摆脱角色类型的*。他能演《红色小提琴》（RedVio鄄lin），可他演《低俗小说》（Pulp Fiction）也胜任有余。
记者：你在片中似乎传达了这样一种信息，超人英雄也是会死的。
伯德：在生活中他们确实会死。我觉得强调这点很重要，因为观众总是在情感上会过于倾向超级英雄，尤其是在看动画片时。另外我和皮克斯都不认为动画片就是给儿童看的，很多人回忆起小时候看过的最惨烈的动画都是《小鹿斑比》（Bambi），因为那里面的那个妈妈死了。但我决不愿意改动这部动画的哪怕一个帧。《小鹿斑比》的力量就在于它告诉了我们，好人也是会死的，而就算他们死了，生活也是会继续，你还是应该继续好好地生活。（
