I think that worked pretty well. I’d actually be interested to see an animated film from Christopher Nolan one day. (Not that the 3D digital animation required to make Inception wasn’t impressive.)

Do you think Disney and Christopher Nolan could ever collaborate on a feature film? Maybe he belongs with Pixar. Head below the jump for Burns’ take on The Incredibles as if it were one of the Dark Knight movies from Nolan:
