Incredibles, The

There once was a time when superheros saved the day...when the police and the public looked to them for extra help in times of crisis. Then came the day of liability and lawsuits...when civilians began suing the "Supers" for pain and suffering. So the superheros were put into the Superhero Protection Program and released into society, never to use their powers again. In The Incredibles, Bob Parr (voice of Nelson), formerly known as Mr. Incredible, has unhappily settled into a dead-end job to support his family—his wife Helen "Elastigirl" (voice of Hunter) and three kids (all of whom have suppressed powers of their own), and their suburban living. Desperate for something to spark in his life, he secretly meets up with a former Super, Frozone (Jackson), to listen to CB radios and fight small-time crime. But when a mysterious assignment arises, Parr secretly takes off to a remote island to receive instructions for a highly classified assignment. Immediately thrust back into his role as Mr. Incredible, he faces off against Syndrome, a jilted former fan. The Incredibles is an exhilarating, edge-of-your-seat adventure with a rollercoaster of emotions. (Gary Reber)
