"The Incredibles" DVD - March 15th

Is this the first time DVDTalk has given a DVD a perfect rating?

I think this will mark the first time I buy two copies of a DVD. One for me and one for a cousin who isn’t having a birthday. :stuck_out_tongue:

Anyone have any news/buzz on this release? I’m so excited about this! :slight_smile:

Got it already coming from Disney with the Lithos, the Plush Figure, and the collectors Pins.

Disney loves me.

I haven’t even seen it, but I just preordered it through Amazon. I know I’ll like it.

I’ve pre-ordered it.

I saw the movie three times in the cinema. I haven’t done that with any movie in years.

The review at IGN isn’t quite as enthusiastic, but still gave it a good score.

Had it on preorder from Overstock.com since December. :smiley:

I was considering going with Disney, but decided I didn’t need the lithos. Just give me my Brad Bird commentary, dang it!

The Incredibles is the best Bond movie in years. I love Elastigirl’s visit to M’s^H^H^H E’s fashion design/weapon development lab.

“And machine washable, darling. That’s a new feature.”

There are so many in-jokes, pop culture references and satirical jibs (the scene where Edna explains why “No capes!” is priceless, as are the comments on “monologuing”) that you wouldn’t think Bird could wedge an actual story arc and characters in there; but he does. And there is a fantastic John Barry-esque score as well. (Originally Barry, who scored many Bond films, was supposed to compose for The Incredibles but dropped out for some reason, but Michael Giacchino did a great job of emulating his style.)

If you don’t like it, I’ll buy it from you, full price, no questions asked. And I don’t even have a TV (though this makes me want to buy one.)

Woo! This definitely will be my present to myself next week.

I adore my local mom-and-pop video store for the way they always ignore posted release dates. They day they receive it is the day they put it on the shelf.

I’ve had my copy since last weekend. :smiley:

As for the film itself, absolutely brilliant. Terrific writing, and the progress Pixar is making in CGI animation is getting more and more astounding with every release. Loved it!

My birthday is on the 17th. You’d better believe this is on my wish list. :slight_smile:

I heard that Barry dropped the gig because he had moved on musically since his Bond days, and didn’t want to re-create his old style.

That’s a shame; he’s done good work since, of course, but his Bond scores were definative; nobody else who has taken the task has even come close. I bought the soundtrack to Enigma just because it sounds like a very mournful Bond score.

I had it on order within 1 hour of Amazon offering it. :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

Lithos? Plush figures? Link, please?

Also, anybody know where I can get a sweatshirt with a Mr. Incredible logo on it? :confused:

Dunno about a sweatshirt, but eBay’s got the jackets all over the place.

I got it through a special offer from Disney. You gotta be a made man in Disney-Verse, boyo. I think that $3000 vacation last year did it to me.

And I, as well, would like a T-Shirt with the ‘i’ logo.

Here’s the link. I don’t know if the offer is still good.

Go wild.

I would like a girl version of the “i” logo shirt. I wouldn’t say no to a domino mask either. :wink:

Why not just buy a one-size-smaller man’s T-shirt?

I could if I had to, but they’re still not built the same as a woman’s t-shirt. I need lots of room in different places than most men. :smiley:

Not sure when it went on sale here, but I’ve had my R1 version since Wednesday (the R3 version came out at the same time). Release dates don’t mean diddly hereabouts.

And yes, it’s pretty damn sweet, but the ‘new cartoon’, Jack-Jack Attack:
(spoiler about the nature of the 'toon, not the content.)

…isn’t really a new story, it’s more like a deleted scene, albeit a completely rendered and perfect addition, but it could have easily been edited into the movie as-is. Whether it was ever intended to be included in the original movie or not, I don’t know, but it’s not a stand-alone cartoon. You’d need to have seen the movie to understand it.

SERIOUS NOTE:Jack-Jack Attack SPOILS THE MOVIE!!! so watch the movie then watch that cartoon.

But yes, I’d give the disc a pretty close to perfect score. It’s THAT good!
