-
89An order-of-magnitude leap forward in animated storytelling.

-
75Sharper and smarter than any animation since "Shrek 2," making it one of the season's supermovies.
-
75The visual and emotional hues are darker [than previous Pixar films], and the focus rests more on middle age than coming of age. The adventures of a family of superheroes are likely to thrill and amuse children, but the film's more grown-up themes might go over their heads.
-
75One of the year's most clever and visually arresting computer-animated films, enlivened by a well-developed and credible cast of characters who just happen to be superheroes.
-
The smarter script and stronger range of performances than most high-budget blockbusters clogging theatres these days make you wonder why the live-action feature isn't already obsolete.
-
90The smart dialogue doesn't hurt, of course, and perhaps the best work is done by Bird himself, who provides the voice of Edna "E" Mode, superhero fashion designer.
-
70The result is truly a family film, not a kiddie time-waster that throws the occasional sop to adults; whether you like or love it is a function of how vividly the material reflects your own childhood fantasies.
-
100Dazzlingly beautiful, funny, and meaningful.
-
It's hilarious, thrilling and filled with "life-truth" -- but it also conceals its effort under a layer of great writing and subtle craftsmanship.
-
91In a movie era when brand names mean very little, it shows once again that Pixar is a stamp of quality.
-

-
The sleek beauty, crafty wit, family warmth, and impeccable slapstick suffusing The Incredibles immediately vaults it to a new, higher level of entertainment.
-
100The Incredibles creates so seamless a mood of exhilaration that we resent being pulled out of it.
-
100Bird has created the unprecedented film that is not just a grand feature-length cartoon but a grand feature, period, a piece of animation that's involving across a spectrum of comedy, action, even drama.
-
100As deliriously smart escapist fare, The Incredibles is practically nonpareil.
-
100It's easily the best and brightest family-friendly movie of the year.
