100 Movies Every Catholic Should See #89: The Incredibles (2004)

Written & Directed by Brad Bird

It would be negligent of us here at 100 Movies if we were not to include a Pixar movie on our list: along with Disney animation and Studio Ghibli, Pixar Animation Studios has made some of the best animated films of all time. Their films have influenced an entire generation (in particular, the generation of this writer) of young filmgoers and raised the bar for what animated movies can be. If you had asked me as a 10 year old what my dream job would be, it would have been to work alongside John Lasseter and co. over at Pixar.

The films of Pixar are so beloved that the question of which of them has been the best is a subject of much controversy at times: films like Ratatouille, Toy Story 3, and WALL-E oftentimes top “best of” lists you find online. So do not take the fact that The Incredibles being the only Pixar film to grace this list to be an indicator that I believe it to be the best, but it is certainly up there.
