Hmm im not sure this deserves to be in the movie thread so im hoping I can get away with it, please.
I just saw the Incredibles and well it was incredible, I was properly into it all the way through and it I havent felt like that abouta film for a while, it was amazing! Possibly up there with Toy Story, congrats to Pixar! It still amazes me what computers can make, and I have trouble trying to get soemthing in photoshop trying to work! If you are going to see a film soon, make sure you go see the Incredibles!! I wasnt too keen on seeing it but now that I have, whoa, seeing it again. Cantus, Bugis will love it go take him to it!

i saw it last night at a preview , and wow it was very kick ass!
only one or two prob with it, on a geek level (seperation of eye lids from maks, and her hair at times looked like barbie plugs, but still)
its one of the best ones they ahve made in a while, a total hit for me!

KJ and I went to see it Saturday and I have to say we were both surprised at how dark some of the content was for a Pixar film. Definitely not a complaint mind you, we both thought it was a fantastic film. Most enjoyable.
Not sure about the look of their next film, "Cars" though. They trailed it before Incredibles (unsurprisingly) and it looks like a bit of a step backwards. Dreamworks might be catching up. Their "Robots" looks quite a bit funnier and better made.
Time will tell I guess.

Yeh Cars didnt look that good, I liked their animated short Boundin' that was so funny
oh and anyone who goes to see The Incredibles, dont do what i did waiting for the end of the credits for Pixars trademark outtakes, cos they arent any

and your right quix about the whole darkness thing, it definetly seemed slightly more for the elder generation.
pixar seem to be doing that a lot now, moment we see an animation you instantly think children, but there are getting too many jokes directed at adults n teenagers. kids want to see people falling and slipping and being silly, whereas now there is too much dialogue n things, but i dont mind, i love them still

Oh there's definitely still an air of "kids film" to Incredibles, the audience when I was there Saturday was quite the mix. It was a sold out theatre and everything from kids to pensioners were there enjoying the film.
I wasn't nescessarily talking about dialogue and the pitch of the jokes. More the tone.
I mean it's hard to get to the point of this without spoilers but I never thought I'd see Pixar have some of those things happen in their films. Even the suggestion of them.
Very dark moments. But very well handled and an excellent piece of cinema. For all ages.

I didn't find it much darker than the darkest parts of Finding Nemo. And I absolutely LOVED it. It was classic Pixar, which I didn't think it would be having seen the trailers.
All the kids seemed to totally enjoy it, too, which was nice
"That was TOTALLY WICKED!!!" I nearly wet myself laughing
What a wonderful miracle if only we could look through each other's eyes for an instant.

Classic Pixar it was though.

i agree that the incredibles has darker intonations to the other pixar movies - nemo had no suggestions of grizzly and painful deaths.
the incredibles has them aplenty - they're just presented in a lighter manner.
*note to self - buy pixar box set at first opportunity*

if you think about it
this IS the first real film they have made
the first film that has true links to real human, and real human emotions
finding nemo, toy story, bugs life, were all based on human emotions, but were still abstract, they were fish, toys, and bugs, not human
i think to break from what they have done before and to take the next step, they made the human characters, more real by giving them "truer" human traits and emotions
nemos farther went across the sea to find him, yes this would most of the time happen with a parent, they would go to find their child, but also a real human would show much more emotion than nemos dad did, and this is reflected in the surreal feel of finding nemo, but not in the incredible!
maybe its just me, and i dont think i have explained it well

hmm.
mushy caviar with fried angel fish vs. superhero genocide?
no comparison methinks.
even dennis leary's character survives in nemo - he should definitely have bought it - slow and painful...

yeah, that's the one i meant vanize - 'gill' the escape artist.
but it turns out it was willem dafoe the whole time.
so how about the 'other lot' then?
i liked antz (but still not as much as a bug's life) and shrek & shrek 2 are superb.
has anyone seen 'shark tale'?

I have to say I found both Shreks absolutely unfunny, and very very boring. I fell asleep in the first one then regretted going to see it again.
Antz is great.
I've not seen Ice Age or Shark Tale, but I've heard the former is brill and the latter is largely poo. And the main character is so ugly and such a gimp people couldn't bring themselves to like him. Even though it's Will Smith.
What a wonderful miracle if only we could look through each other's eyes for an instant.

ice age is possibly the best animated film i have ever seen, maybe thats cuz i;m sad but i really enjoyed
i found shrek 1 mildly amusing....the first time i saw it, it just got boring after that....however shrek 2 was bloody funny
antz is an all time classic i blooming love that film haven't seen shark tale, but they should have swayed away from the land of the sea.
as for the incredibles i cant wait to see it infact i might just go and see it tomorrow, or an monday, cheap..er day
does anyone else find cinema tickets extremely extortionate for what it is...one viewing of a movie on a seriously phat screen thing?
I like Languages.

well where i go at odeon student price is only 3 quid so its not too bad, about same price for rental, i was gonna say willem dafoe was gill, btu someone beat me to it, shrek 2 was funny but i didnt relly like ti,, i think they tried to pull off a humour that has been done too many time i think, still all enjoyable
