E for Edna Mode

My favourite character in 'The Incredibles' is small in size, big in ego; talks in a low voice (ummm, no, not sexy) voice and punctuates her sentences with "Dahhhhhhling"; known for her good fashion sense, perfect design and mega temper; is once again, not the protagonist.

Now let me guess, she is a Melancholic-Choleric; perfectionist-ic and domineering. She is E, aka Edna Mode.

How is she related to the Incredibles? She designs the suits of the superheros (Supers). The Supers were highly exalted and the talk of the town until one man, who intended to commit suicide and not desiring to be saved, sued Mr Incredible for saving his life! An overwhelming plague of lawsuits exiled all the Supers back into mediocre living, forcing them to blend into the society and supress their gifts and talents. Sigh, so much for doing good. (But we all know it's not the end... so watch it nevertheless!)

You may liken the plot to that of Spidey's, but I like this one better with values of family cohesiveness and maximising one's potential - "If you've got it, don't hide it!"

Oh, and not forgetting the short film before the movie - Boundin'. Totally inspiring. Two thumbs up, Pixar! Lovely job.

Yup, I felt the family values were really endearing in the movie. I especially enjoyed the scene where Violet enveloped her entire family in a protective shield and Dash kept running to escape from their pursurers. =) It was totally a night of enjoyment where the 3 of us kept laughing. Didn't we?
