Ladies and
Gentlemen, whether you like it or not, the Pixar Playlist
The
Incredibles represented a unique challenge for Pixar, as the first
film that had leads that were all human, and an entirely human set of
background characters, requiring new techniques for animating clothing, muscle
and hair but this film presented unique challenges in animating fire, water,
air, steam, explosives and dust. It had quadruple the number of the locations
of other Pixar films and at the time had the longest run-time. Topping all that
off, the writer and director of this film, Brad Bird was pretty new to the CGI
game. His previous film was The Iron Giant, which did utilise CG, but not to
this extent.
With all
that in mind, it’s amazing this film ended on a $92m budget, $2m less than the
much less innovative and shorter Finding Nemo. The film went onto making $633m
at the box office and continues Pixar’s streak of critical hits with a 97%
Rotten Tomatoes rating. But where does it rank on the Pixar Playlist, let's take a look
