Brad Bird, 2004 (8*)
One of the more sarcastic and humorous of the recent animated classics, the Incredibles actually referes to a family of ex-superheroes of that name, led by the voices of dad Craig T. Nelson and mom Holly Hunter. They are now in the witness protection program, and bored to death. Of course, unless they jumped back into action, we wouldn’t have a film, so you can expect the inevitable animated superhero action here to spice up the comedy. Samuel L. Jackson voices another superhero, Frozone, who works with ice, a reference to Ice Nine from Kurt Vonnegut’s A Cat’s Cradle, perhaps?
This story has a script so good that it was nominated for an Oscar®. Two Oscars®, Sound and Animated Feature. It also won 16 awards for animated feature that year, and numerous other awards. Here is the awards page for it at Internet Movie Database:
