An epic battle between conformity and exceptionality...which will be catnip for superhero buffs and a great time at the movies for everyone else.

To watch Ratatouille is to recognize we're living in another golden age of American animation.

Curiously vacant characters and curiously pulse-less whimsy...lumbers, middlebrow and tiresome, when it should be daytripping the light fantastic...

Plays it safe...another issue of the Incredibles comic book, another big-scale adventure with full-throttle action sequences, a bit of mystery, and career complications testing the structural integrity of this nuclear family of superheroes.
