Actually, I'm not embarassed to see great stuff like this. The fact that my kids like Pixar movies is more like a happy coincidence. BTW this movie will make the upcoming Fantastic Four look like crap.

It's pretty much a given that Pixar is going to resign with Disney.

Craig T Nelson???
And for God's sake Harry, we have all "CHECKED OUT PEDAZO CHUNK!!"
Sounds like a Ben and Jerrys flavor. -
I love it when I can take my dad to a movie that he won't bitch and moan about. This looks like one of 'em (he loved Toy Story).
-
EVERYONE bitches their heads off at Ticketmaster for being a pricejacking, monopolizing whore. But no one goes after Quicktime. WHY CAN'T I ENJOY A TRAILER ON MY (perhaps) LESS THAN STELLAR FORMAT??!! It is not right for me to have to miss out on a trailer just because Bill Gates lined the studio's pockets like a common Washington lobbyist. I'm sure "The Incredibles" is INCREDBILE, but I really wouldn't know. (somewhere a little starving child in a third world country is shedding a tear for me)

Just go download it at www.apple.com/quicktime -- jeez!

I don't want to be a curmudgeon or anything before I've seen it, but why is everyone getting all hyped up over this? It looks like the typical wanna-be-a-superhero-but-fail-miserably-out-of-clumsiness genre. Which is fine, but the only reason I see everyone getting so ramped up over it is simply because its Pixar. Frankly, even though I have seen all Pixar releases, and while they were fairly entertaining overall during their alloted running length, they have had zero replay value for me. I have talked to others that have said the same thing. I admit, animation is great, but is not ultimately my cup of tea. But when I do indulge in it, I want it to be really down-and-dirty, scratched and faded early toons from the 1920's-1930's. Nothing has ever beaten out Disney's Snow White in my book. I cannot abide the overly slick CGI animation these days. I am not dismissing this film without having seen it, rather just lamenting a bygone era without so much hype and slick overproduction.

does it have a tape drve or a disk drive? quicktime wouldn't work on my trs-80, but my new dell seems to handle it ok.

The father even looks remotely like Kirk Douglas, aka the inspiration for Ren. I'm just waiting for one of them to freak out horrendously, psychedelic background colors and all.

i saw daredevil for the first time last night. DareDevil: the superhero who 1) can't save his father, 2) can't save his girlfriend, 3) can't kill the main henchman, and 4) can't even properly avenge his father's death because he grows a conscience or whatever. What a terrible movie. Further, he gets stabbed in the shoulder and is barely able to roll over while his girlfriend has her throat slashed, stabbed through the HEART, and thrown down from a roof and still manages to crawl up a flight of stairs and over to him while he lays there saying "ow!". Further still, count how many times he gets into a fight, gets knowcked down, and then his opponent pulls off his devil hat. The good guy opponents kindly put his hat back on for him. Speaking as a blind woman, I find this insulting.

You forgot to enter Your Comment -- you know, the sentence or two that showed you aren't a complete twit and actually DO know how fucking amazing the Incredibles is going to be. And, by the way, to that other guy: while that particular Quicktime movie wasn't very high quality, those of us with working computers know from Apple's movie trailers site that Quicktime is the ONLY decent video format. What else do you want to see this kind of shit in? Windows Media Player? RealPlayer? Give me a fucking break.

Coolness, now I'm glad Peter Griffon DIDN'T kill him........

just what the fuck takes so long to put this movie out? from the clips in that preview, it looks like they've already finished post-production on quite a bit of it. it's bullshit to be advertising this movie more than a year before its release. by the way, it looks pretty fucking cool.

It's a disc, but it is a few years old.

The movie I am now looking most forward to (in the post-LOTR world)is a family animated feature from ACKKKK THHHHHPPPPT! disney...Weird.

Be ALL. (Or at least a large percentage).

There was a whole retro-swank design to it that I'm not sure I understand (maybe something about Post-War, baby boomers and mod squads), but the cast assembled for voices could crush you with its talent and Brad Bird has a sharp sense of humor. Who else is better-equipped to do a dysfunctional family in a world just left of center than someone who's worked on "The Simpsons?" After the teaser, I had originally held out hope that the voice behind Mr. Incredible was Jay Leno, but Craig T. Nelson seems like a better choice in retrospect.

WHY must all animated movies have CELEBRITY voice actors?
by zerocorpse
I'm getting sick of it. There are millions of people in the United States alone, and at least hundreds of thousands of actors. Out of all the unknowns out there, they could surely find someone to do a voice-over for an animated character better than a celebrity with a voice that everybody can recognize. The beauty of animation is that you can make characters who aren't "Craig T. Nelson in a costume" but are instead unique, with their own identity. Casting a damn celebrity is cheap and stupid. It ruins the whole point of making something animated. I'm sick of celebrities doing voice work on cartoons, and I'm even MORE sick of fucking FRANK WELKER getting so much work doing so goddamn little. He makes all the squeaky voices and monkey sounds in movies. It's nothing ANYBODY couldn't do, yet he makes big money doing it. WHY? Why is he getting all the jobs doing funny voices and squeaks? I'm sick of the same twenty people doing voices in animation, too. You know what I mean- There's a reason Cobra Commander and Starscream had the same voice! There's a reason half the animated characters out there sound like The Brain (of Pinky and the Brain fame). I love some of those guys- don't get me wrong- but why do the studios hire them for EVERY animated show out there? Let's hear some unknowns break into the business! Let's have some big-budget animated film give us unique characters that don't sound like anybody we've heard in a zillion movies before. Animation does NOT need a big celebrity name or cast to sell! It's the CONTENT you morons! The CONTENT! Lion King was good because it had big celebrity voices in it! It was good because Disney did a great job ripping off the Kimba story and animating it in an American style! Iron Giant wasn't an amazing film because of the celebrity voices- It was an amazing film because it was a beautifully animated, well-written story!
-
Anybody else catch the name on the side of the jet in that trailer? Sweet. Jason Lee and Pixar - together at last.
-
"There was a whole retro-swank design to it that I'm not sure I understand (maybe something about Post-War, baby boomers and mod squads)"
Yeah. This whole thing reminds me Watchmen. Hopefully this'll be like a comedy version.
And that would be a wonderful thing. -
hehe

Looks alright I suppose, but some of the shots are sooooo obviously computer-generated. Disappointed already.
-
Whoa, The Incredibles looks to be a huge box office smash like Finding Nemo. After the box office disappointment of The Iron Giant, Brad Bird is being given a second chance to prove that his animated films will no doubt be wondrous. The Iron Giant was the number uno best movie of 1999 IMO...
-
so it's _supposed_ to look like it's computer generated.. It's not like that scene from Reloaded where all the guys look like computer generated people on a real-life background. And being computer-generated animation, it's almost entirely post-production.. So of course the finished stuff will look like alredy post produced.
-
as long as the cg bits were develpmental bits and bobs which they obviously were seeing as how it was a sneak peek into how this was being made i'm starting to get excited about this...
-
You bring up a good point about celeberties being overused in animated films. As much as i like established voice actors like Frank Welker, Jim Cummings, and Rob Paulsen, the usually get the lion's share of work. It's rare that we get new talent these days. It seems as if the only new voice actors we get usually come off of doing anime dubs. Oh, and i'd like to end my comment by saying that Tara Strong is the sexiest tomboy beanpole on the planet!

Nemo was the weakest Pixar film yet, but made the most money. I guess cute animals are where the money is at. This film looks like it will be a lot of fun at the very least...I hope it isn't dumb though and I hope it makes some decent coin.
-
This looks funnier than Toy Story, Toy Story 2, and Monsters Inc. put together. I predict it's going to be a MONSTER hit next year. Can't wait-can'twait-cantwait-cantwaitcantwaitcantwait---UUUHHHHHHH! Can't breathe!
-
I've loved the concept since I read about it a year or more ago. It's been done sure, but not with Pixar talent and technology, and not by Brad Bird. It has great potential, and I like what I've seen so far. So is Jason Lee the voice of Samuel Jackson's villainous son, the one who dates Mr. Incredible's daughter and has X-Ray vision? I hope they play up the "I'm here to pick up Violet" scene for all it's worth. While I normally agree about the overemphasis on celebrities doing voice work, Pixar has usually put the voices to excellent use. I don't think they would let a monotone Matt Damon ruin one of their movies. And it's not like Craig T. Nelson and Holly Hunter are box office names. Sure Hunter isn't a small fry, but she's not Julia Roberts either. And her voice sounds great.

The script should be OK, but I have serious doubts as to wether Bird can follow in Lasster's footsteps. I love the style he showed on that episode of AMAZING STORIES, "family dog", all those years ago.

I'VE LOST MY MIND! Seriously, this looks like another hit for Pixar, only one us [ahem] grownup superhero fans can enjoy as well. As someone mentioned earlier, it's reminiscent of Watchmen, only, y'know, cute 'n funny.
