Mr. Incredible and Pals (2005 Video)

Thumbs up for the idea and execution

[6/10 · 27 July 2017]

"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.
