Pixar's award-winning animated adventure film for the entire family The Incredibles gets a truly super treatment on this two-disc DVD release from Disney/Buena Vista Home Entertainment. After a short introduction from the film's writer and director, Brad Bird, the first disc kicks into full gear with a razor-sharp, spectacular 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen picture transfer. The disc's picture, which has been taken directly from the digital source, is breathtaking and is perfect for showing off the powers of a high-definition television. The film's lush audio is also wonderfully represented for home viewing with a THX-mastered soundtrack, presented in English, Spanish, or French Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround EX. The result is an audio presentation that thrusts the viewer into the film's world. A lively and informative audio commentary track from Brad Bird is also available. As if the phenomenal work done on the first disc wasn't enough, Pixar continues its proud tradition of including a generous helping of some impressive bonus features on a stuffed second disc. Starting out with another introduction from Bird, disc two of the Incredibles gets rolling with a collection of six deleted scenes. Each deleted scene has an introduction from Bird and features a combination of storyboards and half-finished animation. While most scenes are understandably disposable, they provide an interesting look at how the film might have been. Next up is the terrific exclusive Pixar-animated short Jack-Jack Attack, featuring the ultra cute baby of the Incredibles family contending with a babysitter. Also included is the acclaimed Pixar-animated short that played with The Incredibles' theatrical release, Boundin'. An audio commentary track is included for Boundin' by the film's director, Bud Luckey, as well as a short featurette on Luckey and his history in animation. From there, the viewer goes right into the lengthy and compelling "Making the Incredibles" featurette. Covering every single aspect of the film's long and complicated production, this documentary offers a raw and fascinating look at director Brad Bird and what goes into to making a hit family film. Next is a strange nine-minute mini-documentary with Sarah Vowell, who voiced the Incredibles daughter Violet. Vowell spends most of the time talking to the camera about her love for American history and Abraham Lincoln. An unusual highlight comes toward the end when she introduces a Violet action figure to her Lincoln action figure. A section of the DVD titled "Top Secret" finds many more unusual features, like a fictional 1960s-style Mr. Incredible cartoon with an optional hilarious audio commentary by the characters. Also in the "Top Secret" area are secret files on all the lost "supers" seen in the film, with a brilliant audio commentary from each character. Rounding out the disc are a series of bloopers and technical goof-ups from the film, a massive and attractive art gallery, a trailer collection, and a series of well-hidden secret Easter eggs. With all of these fine features, it is clear that this release of The Incredibles on DVD is destined, just like the film itself, to become an instant family classic.

Another Disney/Pixar Classic

Great movie, great story, great fun. My husband picked this up (again) after our original copy wandered over to the grandkids' house and never came back. The only thing that would make THIS better is if it had been available as a BluRay/Digital combo!

Good Movie

Verified Purchase:Yes
Take-off of the original "Snow White," only expect it to be dark. Would not recommend for anyone with younger children as there is murder, evil, witchcraft and the like. Yes, the same stuff is even in the Disney version, however, live action leaves a much stronger impression. The story is good, as are the special effects and cast. This would not be a movie that I would tell someone, "You need to see this... it's a good movie!" But, if anyone asked, I would tell them it was good enough to watch.

After moving to a small town, Zach Cooper finds a silver lining when he meets next door neighbor Hannah, the daughter of bestselling Goosebumps series author R.L. Stine. Stine is very strange and mysterious and it turns out for good reason. He is a prisoner of his own imagination - the monsters that his books made famous are real, and Stine protects his readers by keeping them locked up in their books. When Zach unintentionally unleashes the monsters from their manuscripts and they begin to terrorize the town, it's suddenly up to Stine, Zach, and Hannah to get all of them back in the books where they belong.

Worth the Time

I remember the Goosebumps series being around when my kids were in school, but they never really got into them. Now that they are grown, my husband and I toss out the occasional "Movie Night" so we get the family together for some comfort food and relaxation time. This flick was a winner. The story and characters were enjoyable and special effects pretty well done. This one will be kept in our movie library with a star on it.

Love It!

Various features free me up to leave the workplace and work on documents at home with fewer interruptions. Word 2016 is compatible with my company's programs and OneDrive allows me to store documents in the cloud rather than taking up space and slowing down my system. This was part of a computer bundle, but when the year is up, I will definitely renew!

Perfect For Me
on May 8, 2016
Posted by: Teeruu
Verified Purchase:Yes
Not a computer whiz, not a gamer, just needed to replace my 5 year old laptop that was on its last leg and having issues after the Windows 10 update. This is perfect for my use which is for emails, surfing the internet, bill pay, shopping, and the occasional movie (love that it can handle digital streaming and also has an optical drive.) Did NOT want a touchscreen since there is the occasional two-legged critter running around the house touching things and asking, "What's that?"... I deal with that enough at work with customers! Ten-key was also a must as I spent too much time as a bookkeeper: gotta have it. My bundle came with the sleeve, an SD card, and a year of Microsoft Office (which I also love that now I have opportunity to work on spreadsheets, and Word documents at home... not that I enjoy taking work home with me.) Love that I am not having issues with my wireless printing like my old laptop did - also like that I can pair my wireless earbuds and listen to music or movies while I cook or do work around the house. Does not heat up like my old laptop, and when the fan does come on, it is not even noticeable unless the room is completely quiet. Again, I cannot offer any of the computer jargon that many people use when writing their reviews, but can only say that I have not had any glitches with this thing whatsoever. I would definitely recommend this for anyone who uses this as a computer... if anyone is looking to use it like a Playstation or XBox, sorry... can't help!

From the director of Chicago and the producer of Wicked comes a modern twist on the beloved fairy tales you thought you knew. Meryl Streep stars in this epic musical saga about daring to venture Into The Woods. Iconic characters, such as Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk and Rapunzel, find their fates intertwined with a humble baker and his wife, whose longing to have a child sends them on a quest to reverse a witch's (Streep) curse. With an all-star cast, this spellbinding adventure is everything you could ever wish for!

Definitely a Musical
on May 16, 2015
Posted by: Teeruu
Verified Purchase:Yes
Great sound and picture quality on this disc and the story line is quite good, however, if you are not a huge fan of musicals, you are very likely NOT going to like this movie. I myself am very partial to musicals but found myself very close to turning it off more than once (probably because my husband kept glaring at me from across the sofa), but we watched it through to the end. As I said, good story, just VERY musical. Would I recommend this to a friend? Only if they are crazy about "The Sound of Music," "Calamity Jane," "The Music Man," and other very musical movies!
