We just got back from the theater - my son wanted to see a movie today, and The Incredibles was playing on a bunch of screens near us. Lemme tell ya - RUN AND SEE THIS MOVIE!!! The story is like a great James Bond movie, only more fun; the animation makes you wish you could roll back the film to see things you missed - whatta great flick!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Aw, I thought we were gonna talk about this goodie(sniff, sniff):
I saw The Incredibles last night!
It was excellent!! Pixar gets better and better!! The short film before the movie was real good too. I have to admit that I'm not too excited about Cars. Doesn't appeal to me like the other Pixar films did.
The Star Wars trailer was kewl too!

Shoot...I forgot this one was coming out. Would have been somewhere to take them this weekend. I've got my 5-year-old VERY pumped to go see the Spongebob movie in two weeks, though. (The trailer for it is hilarious!) Maybe we'll go see this new Pixar movie next weekend since they'll be here four days.

The scene with David Hasselhof made me laugh my @$$ off!

Pixar is always out doing itself. I haven't seen any commercials or trailers for The Incredibles yet, still I can't wait to see it. I wonder where John Ratzenberger's voice will pop up in this one.

I agree completely: I just got back from seeing it with my wife and teenage kids, and we all loved it. Superb in every respect. :righton:

Saw it last night and we all laughed our butts off. I couldn't believe how amazingly realistic the surface of the ocean looked, too. BTW, I went to see "Team America..." last week and was disappointed. It had its moments, but it was only "okay".

At the risk of coming across as a wet blanket, I feel the need to say that I despise computer animation. I saw a clip of that movie on TV and can't believe people run to this stuff. I don't like it at all.

I agree with Sean. I can't stand computer animation or CGI. It just looks cheap! It's the synth-drum of cinema.
I didn't like any of the Pixar or SHREK movies I've seen due to their quickly dated videogame look -- dated by the time the DVD comes out -- and unfortunately the hard-drive seems to be the animation studio of the future.

Folks - I wish hand drawn animation ala Disney/MGM/Warner's ruled the roost but it's dead for the moment - I wallow in the classic stuff. I think animation has looked not so great since the UPA aesthetic kicked in around the late 40's ("twitching wallpaper" was how one wag described it). That said, you're gonna miss out on a great story with great characters (who just happen to be computer generated). Go see the movie at a matinee, come back and tell us about the experience - I think you're missing something really good if you don't give it a chance...

Yeah, true, got ahead of myself and missed it....:D
As for computer animation...it has its good and bad points....can be great fun, but yeah, it's still computer animation.....but that doesn't make it awful. Slick, yes! But sometimes, slick can be very, very neat....

It's only dead because Disney has forgotten how to write a good story with characters the viewer cares about. Animation is not about how the "drawing" is rendered, it exists to serve a moving story. Pixar seems to understand that.
We're going to see the Incredibles on Tuesday. Can't wait.
Tried to see it today but the lines were "incredible". But I did see Alec Baldwin waiting in a very long line to see it.

I was trying to say that in a roundabout way over several of my posts. I prefer the look of animation drawn by hand, 24 drawings per second, cels painted one at a time - I've been glued to the Looney Tunes set #2 the past week. That said, I accept Pixar's CG work as yet another way to get the story told (which they do splendidly) - it's all good, just different kinds of good... ;)

Sorry, no offense, guys. I guess outside the Music Forum, I kinda forgot about the thread-crapping rules, and didn't take my post as seriously. I know not to post a wholesale negative on, say, a Prog Rock thread in the Music Forum -- irresistibly tempting as that target is -- but here I didn't make the same consideration.
Obviously lotsa people love the Pixar films. I'm not one of them. I didn't think much of STAR WARS or LORD OF THE RINGS or the MATRIX films, either, so I'm in a small, small minority.
