incredible

it is becoming clear that the defining characteristic of a pixar film is not being disappointed, even when you go in with high expectations. the incredibles is brilliant. brad bird (writer and director) is a supergenius, using his powers for tremendous good. i can’t think of anything not to like about the film. the story, the characters, the animation, the backgrounds, the camera work, it’s all masterfully executed. the cast is great — who knew that craig t. nelson could turn in such a great performance?
