Don't forget about Vin Diesel!

Oh guys – as much as I hate to see you so upset, I’m so glad you watched this one! And don’t worry, everybody cries at the end. Every time :) Joe – I think you said it right, every kid should see this movie and Hollywood should leave it alone – no remakes, no sequels. It’s perfect as-is. (If anything we have an epidemic of unnecessary sequels lately.) Also, I learned an interesting thing the other day – this movie was inspired a children’s’ novel written by Ted Hughes, the poet and husband of Sylvia Plath. I hadn’t realized that before, and honestly, would never have guessed. P.S. – Yep, Dean was voiced by Harry Connick Jr... I’m kind of surprised they didn’t have him do the soundtrack, but that’s neither here nor there.

This is hands down my favourite movie of all time. I must have watched it dozens of times by now, and I *still* cry at the end every damn time. I'm writing this very comment through a haze of tears lol. It actually did horribly at the box office, it bombed (ironically!), but it now has a huge cult following. What Brad Bird does as an animation director is make movies for adults that children can also enjoy. The Incredibles is a good example of that, and his other Pixar work was Ratatouille, also very adult. He's very vocal about animation being a medium, not a genre, that anyone of any age can enjoy.

This is the one movie my dad showed me as early as I can remember and I truly believe this movie shaped a huge part of who I am. I reiterate what I was saying in the poll it is the perfect animated film. Also based on the question “ if a gun knew it was a gun would it still choose to be”

For sure! This was such a wonderful movie in teaching the need for empathy and genuine care for others. Just wonderful.

I couldn't agree more! We have watched Ratatouille on the channel (I completely forgot that was Bird), but we need to check out The Incredibles.

When I showed my sister this movie for the first time in 2019 for the 20th anniversary she was a wreck. She was 9 years old at the time and she was hysterical.

I bet she was! But this is such a great movie for teaching compassion to kids! It should be shown in schools.
