The Incredibles · Apr 13, 10:18 PM

Pixar (Toy Story, Finding Nemo) and Brad Bird (The Iront Giant) work well together. Mass-market feel-good movies often put me into a black mood; I’m delighted to be delighted by The Incredibles, which is less a super-hero film and more a family film written in the popular super-here genre. It’s not Spiderman. It’s not X-Men 2, but it’s cementing the obvious proposition that people are desperate for mythology and heros to love. Even “in spite of” our psychologized and deconstructed culture, we long for Homer.

Directed: Brad Bird, 2004
Summary: Mass market American animation at it’s best.

  1. An alternative take, perhaps: Homer through the lens of Rand. — Dave    Apr 14, 02:56 AM    #

  2. I would have thought American superheros anti-Randian. Please elaborate. — Tom    Apr 17, 11:26 AM    #

  3. So what is the next project for Pixar? — Yin    Apr 18, 12:59 AM    #

  4. I vote anti-Rand. Spandex powered altruism is still altruism. — Chris    Apr 19, 05:05 PM    #
