Plot

The film begins sometime prior to 1957 (the exact date is never stated)^[1] during a Golden Age of superheroes,^[2] when government-sponsored superheroes assist a grateful public with everything from freeing cats stuck in trees to foiling bank robberies.

The plot begins when Mr. Incredible (Bob Parr) (Craig T. Nelson) saves a man attempting a suicide. He then foils a robbery by the villain Bomb Voyage, while being harassed by Buddy Pine, a young fan who wishes to be his sidekick. When Bomb Voyage plants a bomb on the young would-be superhero, Mr. Incredible manages to dislodge it, but in doing so, causes a train wreck that injures 100 people. He then races to his wedding, where he marries Helen (aka Elastigirl) (Holly Hunter). Βoth the suicidal man and the victims of the train wreck sue the superheroes community for injuries sustained in these events. As part of the government's settlement, all superheroes are placed into a government-sponsored protection program similar to witness protection, and forbidden to use their powers.

Elastigirl is the superhero codename for two separate heroines: Helen Parr, from the Incredibles. ... Holly Hunter (born March 20, 1958) is an Academy Award-winning American actress. ... ...

Fifteen years later, Bob and Helen Parr have settled into relatively normal suburban lives raising three kids, Violet (Sarah Vowell), Dashiell ("Dash") (Spencer Fox) and baby Jack-Jack (Eli Fucile). The children have powers which reflect their personalities^[3]; Violet (a shy 14-year-old) has the power of invisibility and the ability to create force fields, while Dash (10 years old and hyperactive) has super speed; Jack-Jack appears to be a normal baby without powers. Bob, stuck in a thankless job at an insurance agency, laments the passage of his superhero glory days. He and his friend Lucius Best, another former super called Frozone (Samuel L. Jackson), still occasionally listen to police radios and secretly aid the authorities, much to the consternation of Helen. Bob, enraged after being prevented from foiling a mugging, and by his company's general business policy, beats his unsympathetic boss, and loses his job.

Bob is contacted by a woman named Mirage (Elizabeth Peña), who knows his secret identity, and offers to hire him to subdue a renegade robot, the Omnidroid 8000, on Nomanisan, an uncharted island. Mr. Incredible completes the task, telling Helen and his family that he is going on a business trip, though his old super suit is damaged in the battle. His costumer, Edna Mode (Brad Bird actually employed himself for this particular role), creates a new suit for him. Over the next two months, Bob maintains the image of still being employed, but secretly works out in preparation for his next assignment. However, Helen has doubts and starts to suspect Bob of having an affair. Mirage is a fictional character, a villain featured in the film The Incredibles, produced by Pixar and Disney, first released on November 5, 2004. ... Elizabeth Peña (b. ... For other uses, see robot (disambiguation). ... Omnidroid is the name of a series of robots in the Disney/Pixar movie The Incredibles. ... Edna Marie E Mode is a principal character from the movie The Incredibles. ...

Bob is again summoned to Nomanisan, but is overpowered by an improved Omnidroid, and encounters Buddy Pine again, now revealing himself to be a villain and wealthy weapons designer called Syndrome (Jason Lee). Buddy had been heartbroken upon rejection by Mr. Incredible, and wished vengeance upon his former hero. Mr. Incredible escapes and dupes Syndrome into thinking he is dead. He then learns that Syndrome used previous versions of the Omnidroid to kill other supers, that he is the latest to encounter it. Syndrome is a fictional character, the primary antagonist in the 2004 film The Incredibles. ... Jason Michael Lee (born April 25, 1970) is an American actor and professional skateboarder. ...

Helen learns where Bob really is, but her use of the signal device on his costume results in Bob's capture. Helen flies a private jet to the island. Nearing the island, she discovers Violet and Dash have stowed away. The jet is attacked by missiles from Syndrome's base, and Helen attempts to evade them, while telling Violet to put a force-field around the plane. Neither are successful, and the plane is destroyed by the missiles. Helen and the children narrowly escape the explosion, and make it to the island.

Helen urges the children to stay in a cave, and pursues Bob herself. However, the cave is found to direct the flames of a rocket, and the children are forced to flee it. Upon being discovered, the children are pursued by Syndrome's henchmen. In the mean time, Helen discovers Bob with Mirage, but later discovers that Mirage was merely there to rescue Bob from capture (Syndrome had previously allowed Mirage to be used as a hostage by Bob, though Bob had proved too 'soft' to kill her). Bob and Helen later meet up with their children, and together impressively take down their perusers.

Syndrome, however, appears, and personally takes the family captive. He informs the family of his ultimate plan - unleash the Omnidroid on Metroville, and use his most impressive weapons technologies to stop it, making himself appear to be a superhero. After playing the superhero game for long enough, he would sell his weapons, so everyone could be 'super', thus making the true superheroes less impressive.

Violet is able to release herself and her family from confinement, and the family attempt to return to Metroville to battle the Omnidroid. They find themselves in need of the same kind of rocket used to launch the Omnidroid to Metroville, and Mirage gives them the command codes to operate it. They arrive at their hometown and with the help of Frozone, destroy the robot, with the remote Syndrome wanted to use to accomplish the same thing (Ironically, the robot actually went rogue[Bob was told that the Omnidroid had went rogue when he was employed to stop it], and took down Syndrome). Returning home, they discover Syndrome attempting to kidnap Jack-Jack. As Jack-Jack's powers suddenly emerge, Elastigirl snatches Jack-Jack just before Mr. Incredible disables Syndrome's jet. Syndrome's cape is caught in one of the jet's turbines, and is sucked in and killed. Three months later, Bob is now content with their civilian life, Dash controls the use of his powers in track events, and Violet, having found confidence, is asked by her heartthrob on a date. However, a new villain, The Underminer (John Ratzenberger), appears and attacks the city. The family members don their masks, and prepare to fight anew. John Deszo Ratzenberger (born April 6, 1947) is an American actor. ...

Reception

Critics

Critical response was overwhelmingly positive, receiving a 97% "Certified Fresh" rating at Rotten Tomatoes^[4] which made the movie their twelfth greatest action films of all time and the only one of Top 20 with more than 100 reviews^[5]. Metacritic indicates The Incredibles"universal acclaim" with a 90 out of 100 rating.^[6] Critic Roger Ebert awarded the film three-and-a-half stars out of four, writing that the film "alternates breakneck action with satire of suburban sitcom life" and is "another example of Pixar's mastery of popular animation." Rolling Stone gave the movie three-and-a-half stars and called the movie "one of the year's best" and said that it "doesn't ring cartoonish, it rings true."^[7] Also giving the film three-and-a-half stars, People magazine found that The Incredibles "boasts a strong, entertaining story and a truckload of savvy comic touches."^[8] This article or section does not cite any references or sources. ...

Roger Joseph Ebert (born June 18, 1942) is a Pulitzer Prize-winning American film critic. ... This article is about the magazine. ...

Some negative criticism was directed towards the film's violence, which suggested that the "Incredibles" are free to arbitrarily punch criminals and enemy troops to render them unconscious and injured, even when those criminals or troops are disarmed and pose no threat; indeed, the film is much more violent than any previous Pixar film and the first to receive a PG rating from the MPAA. Eleanor Ringel Gillespie of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution wrote that "the Pixar whizzes do what they do excellently; you just wish they were doing something else."^[9] Similarly, Jessica Winter of the Village Voice criticized the film for playing as a standard summer action film, despite being released in early November. Her review, titled as "Full Metal Racket," noted that "The Incredibles announces the studio's arrival in the vast yet overcrowded Hollywood lot of eardrum-bashing, metal-crunching action sludge."^[10] The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) is a non-profit trade association formed to advance the interests of movie studios. ...

There are also several Easter eggs in the menus; the one on the main menu shows every door, button and explosion in the movie. Some of the other menus have more than one egg (e.g. one of the eggs on the first Index menu is a short sockpuppet version of the movie); which one plays appears to be a random choice.

The film was also released on UMD for the Sony PSP and in a limited edition VHS version, and was the last Disney/Pixar film to be issued in the VHS format.
