I went to see this on Saturday with Laura Suzuki, (cf)and her friend, the author/illustrator Loris Lesynski, both fine folks.

Peter Cook, among others, was right!

Well, all I can say is what a fine, fun piece of CG cinema. Although I think the hair was so good that they really faked it like Clutch Cargo lips. No, really.

Internally consistent with plot and humour in a way that I like to compare to Galaxy Quest. And Ghostbusters.

Funny? Funnnneeee!

Violet Parr was a great character, and Edna Mode, and even Syndrome, the bad guy.

Great visuals.

Lots of nods and tributes to the genres that inspired it, again like Galaxy Quest. And Ghostbusters.

If you didn’t like it, go read a book, you reader. Or listen to a CD, musicky. It’s your loss, losey.

Get a cape.

(editor’s note: references to Ghostbusters added later, after forgetting about it and then seeing it late last night on TBS - I usually don’t like seeing good movies on TV - especially on TBS - what with commercials, editing and bowdlerizing the dialogue, for frig’s sake, but some are still really watchable cuz the vibe is still there, like Ferris Bueller’s Day Off - where was I?)
