What Parents Need to Know
About The Incredibles
Parents need to know that this PG movie is more violent and scary than the previous G-rated Pixar films and may be too intense for younger kids. While the violence is low-key and not graphic, even comic, it may be upsetting for some kids. There is also a reference to attempted suicide. The hilariously bossy fashion designer smokes long cigarettes.

I think the Omnitroid scenes might have been scary, but with, appropriate humor, and mild action after that, the movie is fine for kids 4 and up.

Fine for 7+, but probably not okay for kids any younger
The movie is entertaining - fine for my 7 year old. But the beginning of the movie is pretty intense with shooting and a car chase. My 3 year old has watched it, but I wish she hadn't.

My favorite movie of the decade
Don't laugh, but Brad Bird is one of the great filmmakers of this era. The Incredibles is unbelievable and Ratatouille definitely right up there --- such great characters, great writing, two such different movies that are so amazingly satisfying.

Perfect for almost any one.
I liked it but it did have some violence in it that some people might not like but it isn't gory or any thing. It just uses some weapons.

An all-time classic
The combination of real characters, James-Bondy main storyline and wonderful animation make this one of our family's all time favorites

As, dare I say, incredible, this movie is, many things little ones shouldn't watch are snuck in. 1) A man attempts suicide and sues the person who stops him. 2) In one scene, it is repeatedly stated that a girl is "hungry" for a guy she has romantic feelings for. This would bother me less if the character in question was not a teenager no older than fourteen. 3)Word of warning: A married couple are made to appear as if they are on the verge of divorce after only one argument. This could open up discussions about arguments between parents. 4)A major plot point is a woman believes her husband is having an affair. You might want to explain what this means with their kids beforehand. If they are not old enough to understand that, they should not see this movie. 5) Not to nitpick, but a police officer immediately pulls out a gun when he sees two men he thinks are robbing a jewelry store. A real police officer would first talk to the robber, and if that didn't work, use pepper spray. It is only at that point that he would pull a gun.

For kids age 8+ to see WITH their parents
IF a 5+ age child sees this they will see the violence, question (silently or aloud) the passionate kissing and butt pinching. When did saying 'totally wicked' become a good thing? There is a part where the mom tells the kids that violence is real and they need to be careful. Weird that this would be put in the movie which is filled with references to sex, bad words, violence, et cetera. My husband and I like it, but as I look for good examples for my kids, I realize the little details that the movie company put in this, do make an impact.

Great Movie, For a Family, and That's For Sure!
This movie is funny and sweet. A good part of the movie is when Violet is being shot at, Dash comes at the men with a stick and says not to touch her, protecting his sister in a sweet way. You will laugh, and be jumpy with the scenes of great action, not graphic, not inapropriate, Amazing!

Fun family movie, best for 5/6+. Entertaining for parents too!
I saw this with my 3 & 5 yr old boys who were very eager to see it on DVD. We were warned that the opening scene (with some shooting but no injuries) was violent, but I disagreed, and the kids thought it was just a game sort of thing. The only scene that they (and I) found inappropriate was the torture of Mr. Incredible. It was difficult to explain what was going on and why someone would want to hurt someone else. Otherwise I think it's fine for mature 5's, definitely 6 yr olds. My 3 yr old liked the robots, that was about it. I liked it and thought it was really cute. There are some scenes about the parents having problems (she thinks he's cheating on her) but again, my kids didn't pick up on that and it was subtle.

Great! :)
Great movie, perfect for any age.

Sort of dull until the movie's second half, then entertaining for all.
I didn't think the violence was that bad, but I watched the news, Terminator 2, and Robocop when I was four, so I might not be the best judge of this for more sensitive children. It's a much better choice than Spiderman 2 (also a good movie) if you want to shelter your younger children a little bit more, though. Even though, if you believe the violence is bad in BOTH of these movies, I wouldn't recommend anything even related to Batman.

DH left the theater with our 5 year old after the opening sequence: a burning building with lots of screaming.

Pixar pulls out another winner! Best one yet!
As suggested by the PG rating, this film is more violent and intense than any of the Pixar films before it. In fact, this movie is targetted more at teens and adults, rather than at young kids. With that said, this is a truly spectacular work of art. In my oppion, this is perhaps their best movie so far. I suggest that this is mose appropriate for kids 8 and older.
- I rate this title on for age 8 and give itMy concerns are:

- Excessive consumerism
- Drinking, smoking, or drug use
Drive-by gun shooting in this movie too. Wrong message about appropriate anger management. (Main character throws his boss through a wall, etc.) I can't rate the sexual content and language. It's been awhile since I saw it.
