SHOWING DREAMWORKS WHAT ANIMATION IS REALLY ABOUT: Spacewoman and I saw The Incredibles last night and had a blast, pun unintended. The animation is sometimes distractingly good -- at times I was thinking "this is basically indistinguishable from claymation," and the hair is jarringly less cartoonish than almost everything else, although it's nice to see cartoon characters with pores. The heart of the movie, though, like all other Pixar movies, is a set of fully-developed characters functioning within a cute idea with a lot of completely unexpected gags throughout.
