A valentine to both superheroes and the 1960s spy-fi aesthetic, THE INCREIDBLES (2004) was honored with an AFI AWARD in 2004, recognizing it as one of the year’s most outstanding achievements in the art of the moving image. According to the official rationale, “THE INCREDIBLES lives up to its name in spectacular fashion. This clever and original animated film from writer/director Brad Bird dazzles in its visual splendor, but it is the story that proves most colorful. The Parr family — a.k.a. Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl and their two super children — is a nuclear family that imparts a message for all ages — that we all have special talents. Enter the villain, and the film’s incredible blend of adventure and wit sets a new bar for James Bond.”
