As the proud papa of the film, it makes sense that he wants people to see The Incredibles the way he intended it to be seen. Kyle Baker mined the same territory years ago in his short comic “Letitia Lerner, Superman’s Babysitter! I found it particularly interesting that the two spent as much time discussing what didn’t go into the movie as what did, illustrating how paring an idea down to its essentials can make for a stronger and more resonant story. There's a helluva lot of stuff here and you'll no doubt be thankful that the tone, despite the antics of Bird and co is actually a huge step up from previous Pixar releases, with the focus more for grownup interest than cutesy games and such for the little'uns.

As a result, 'supers' are forced to live among the populace incognito, shunned by the society they once protected. The storyline of The Incredibles is too good to be written off as just the stuff of a children's movie. While it's just as funny as the previous Pixar films, The Incredibles has a far wider-ranging emotional palette (it's Pixar's first PG film).Newly created for this DVD is the hilarious "Jack-Jack Attack," filling the gap in the film during which the Parr baby is left with the talkative babysitter, Kari.

A new short, Jack-Jack Attack, fills us in on what happened to the poor babysitter charged with minding the Incredible infant. The film also takes an irreverent tone towards super hero films; much like "Scream" made fun of horror films.

And the villain of the piece is the dastardly Syndrome (Jason Lee, Almost Famous), who hunts down and knocks off heroes in hiding as part of a nefarious plot to create havoc and set himself up as the next super hero. That may be a generalisation but so long as they look on our crooked teeth as if it's a rabies symptom, I feel I'm allowed to make it.

Sometimes a little dark for those of a very tender age, but a brilliant movie with my favourite character being Edna!

NSA-File profiles of the superheros in the Incredibles world, with plenty of info and an audio file from each, serve to flesh out the film's world even more. Only things get complicated and he finds himself entangled with an old friend that’s now a new foe, and needing the help of his family. I have to admit that I'm not too fussed with this one - a whimsical, daft musical fable about a jackalope and a shaved sheep.
