Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Horst in Translation ([email protected]) "Mr. Incredible and Pals" is a 4-minute animated short film that is a bonus feature to the successful Pixar movie "The Incredibles" and shows us a mix between that one and the animated show "Clutch Cargo" from the 1960s. I have not seen the latter, so maybe that's why it was not too much of a memorable watch because I probably did not get many of the references. anyway, this is a fairly nice idea for a bonus feature and somewhat inspired. Story-wise it is okay for such a brief film I guess. The title character, his superhero buddy and a little jumping rabbit have to save a bridge from being destroyed and at the same time catch a female bug villain. Tolerable stuff I guess. "The Incredibles" is one of really not many Pixar films I have not yet seen and I must admit this short film does not really get me curious to do so. But that also wasn't the intention I guess looking at the difference in style. People who like old superhero animation (not as old as Disney's and Warner Bros' golden age), can check this one. It's probably more for these than for huge fans of "The Incredibles". So can everybody else, but they are really not missing too much. Oh yeah, solid list of people working on this one as well, behind the camera and voice actors. 4 minutes worth seeing and listening to all in all.
Rectangular_businessman This was a clever and well done parody of many old Saturday morning cartoons from the '50s and the '60s (Like for example, Clutch Cargo, a series from 1959 which is mostly remembered for using the Syncro-Vox animation technique where a live-action talking mouth was superimposed upon the faces of cartoon characters. "The Adventures of Mr. Incredible" uses the same technique for comedic purposes.) Anyway, this a nice complement for "The Incredibles" Universe, and it also serves as a funny homage to all those old cartoons that this short animation references.8/10
MisterWhiplash I wasn't expecting this little made-for-DVD special short cartoon, Mr. Incredible and Pals, to be THIS funny, but it is. It's sort of in a really cheesy, stupid way funny too, and I couldn't get enough of it not only as a fan of the Incredibles but in what it was spoofing too. The moving 'human' mouths over the bad animated faces reminded me of the cartoons from the 60s- definitely the inspiration- the kind that were featured very briefly and oddly on a TV screen in Pulp Fiction. Story? There is none, really, Mr. Incredible and Frozone go to stop some Lady-bug lady or other from making traffic a means to conquer the world. The big joke in all of this is there is basically next to no REAL animation here, and coming in the same package as a film so complex in its CGI stylizations and wonderment like the Incredibles, it's a really hilarious, spot-on work that mocks it greatly. I wonder really if kids younger than I will really understand the big joke about it, but for the parents or other adults and teens and others who bought the DVD, the joke might not be lost on them. It's all one big goof, basically, but it's made even funnier when listening to the audio commentary track, where Craig T. Nelson and Sam Jackson- as the characters- comment on this TV pilot that never actually aired in the US, and how embarrassed Frozone gets seeing all of this, particularly with a very random rabbit that keeps getting a close-up to bounce up and down (eventually even the at-first defensive Mr. Incredible has to stop and says it stinks more or less). In fact, I'd say I laughed even harder during the commentary than I did during the actual short itself, as Jackson in the Frozone character really got to some points that I didn't expect, like saying that the creators of the TV show made his Frozone white, or rather 'tan'. It's great stuff, is what I'm saying here.
FRMariposa Normally, I'm not a huge fan of DVD extras. I have yet to even OPEN the "Empire of Dreams DVD" from the Star Wars box set. But Pixar films are exceptional in so many ways, and Extras is just another. This short is on Disc 2 under "Top Secret". most people only watched "Jack-Jack Attack" on Disc 2; Well, pop it out again to join Frozone and Mr. Incredible as they watch a crappy Saturday morning cartoon based on their adventures. There's "Clutch Cargo" style animation and the antics of Mr. Skiperdoo - the "and Pals" of the title. The best part is the Commentary track featuring the "Real" Frozone and Mr. Incredible, who've never seen this before, and Frozone is quite outraged at the implicit race issues. A minor classic.
