The Incredibles, a review
Theatrical Release: November 5, 2004 / Running Time: 115 Minutes / Rating: PG

Pixar has been batting 1000 with their animated feature films until now. Without being formulaic, the creative minds in Emeryville have managed to hit upon the recipe for fantastic success with each new release. The Incredibles is the least formulaic feature yet and likely to be the most successful.

Not content to stand on their successes of the past, Pixar brought in the team from the new classic animated film, The Iron Giant. Director Brad Bird and his team of storytellers and artists admittedly had little to no experience with computer generated animation, Pixar’s specialty.

Fantasyland or Tomorrowland?

I’ve written before about the decision Imagineers had to make when faced with the themepark equivalent of Moore’s law.

West coaster at WDW

Today we hit Magic Kingdom there are moments when it can feel like Anahiem and others where my brain gets a little confused. Space Mountain isn’t in the right place in tomorrowland and there’s entirely too much open space. In fact the Walt Disney World Resort is huge, it is impossible to imagine just how… Read More »West coaster at WDW

Yee ol Hurricane

Damage elsewhere was minimal. A tree was down here and there, they found lots of branches in the walkways that were easily moved to the side, and the lawns were littered with leaves. They weren’t their usual immaculate selves! But the infrastructure held together nicely. Two hurricanes, and STILL the horrible Epcot wand remains atop… Read More »Yee ol Hurricane
