When Brad Bird’s first feature film under Pixar was released, it was a golden time for such a bolt of lightning to strike. That seems to have largely gone without saying among those who reflect on such matters. Characters demonstrate courage and teamwork.Ģ004’s The Incredibles is not only one of the greatest and most important superhero films ever made. Despite their differences of opinion, the Incredibles band together to save each other–and their city. Violet and Dash prove themselves worthy and mature enough to help their parents on missions. Incredible also demonstrate that every family is different in some families, it’s the mom who works outside the home and the dad who stays home to be the primary caretaker. Incredible and Elastigirl show their children that what’s most important is for families to stick together, no matter what.
Another thought-provoking theme: people’s complacency to what they see on screens and how easy it is to be manipulated by screens. Other issues thoughtfully explored: self-identity, working mothers, at-home fathers, responsibility to help others, teen vulnerability, parent-child and sibling relationships. Teamwork, communication, compassion, perseverance are promoted and exemplified. Positive Content: The biggest theme is that families should work together, acknowledge each member’s strengths and talents. Other Negative Themes: Some familial tension. Edna is shown briefly with her signature long-stemmed cigarette. Teens flirt and have crushes.ĭrug/Alcohol Use: A toast/cocktails at a gathering, and a wide shot of people at a restaurant who may or may not be drinking. Sexual Content: A married couple kisses and hugs a couple of times. Language/Crude Humor: A use of “crap,” “h***,” and “damned”. A potentially upsetting story flashes back to how, in the middle of an armed robbery, a husband/father tried to call superheroes, but they didn’t take the call, and the robbers shot him (viewers see the lead-up but not the act itself). Baby Jack-Jack has a hilarious but prolonged fight with a raccoon Jack-Jack’s powers include temporarily cloning himself, lighting himself on fire, shooting laser beams out of his eyes, spewing toxic reflux, and turning into a demon.
One intense/scary fight involves a lot of flashing lights, which may bother photosensitive people. Some weapons use, including a super-sized jackhammer. The supers must use their powers to attempt to save one another–and regular citizens–from Screenslaver’s planned violence. Villain Screenslaver manipulates, controls others by hypnotizing them, either remotely or face to face. Frequent peril children/parents in danger. Violence/Scary Images: Many scenes of fairly intense, high-stakes violence, including threats to the city superheroes cause some of their own destruction to rescue people. Bird knows something that I can never hope to know. With that established, we should be surprised that we would ever get a sequel. Writer-director Brad Brid stated that he had no intention of giving us a sequel to The Incredibles until he was certain that he was able to come up with an entry that was just as good as or better than the original. I can’t recall the last time I had such an even reaction of scorn and praise for a filmmaker’s decision. Nelson, Holly Hunter, Sarah Vowell, Huck Milner, Samuel L.
