The Incredibles, which nabbed the Best Animated Feature Oscar, is yet more fun from Pixar, John Lasseter’s remarkably creative studio that previously brought us Toy Story, A Bug’s Life, Monsters Inc., and Finding Nemo. After the crime-fighting family the Incredibles are sued into early retirement and given a new identity in harmless suburbia, Bob/Mr. Incredible (Craig T. Nelson) can’t stop protecting the world from evildoers, sneaking away from his suspicious wife, Helen/Elastigirl (Holly Hunter), to work with Lucius/Frozone (Samuel L. Jackson) in defeating evil. But he meets more than he bargained for in Syndrome (Jason Lee), a piece of his past resurrected to destroy him. Other recognizable voices include Wallace Shawn as Gilbert Huph, writer Sarah Vowell as Violet, John Ratzenberger as Underminer, and Elizabeth Peña as Mirage; writer/director Brad Bird (The Iron Giant) voices fashion designer Edna ‘E’ Mode. Pixar fans will also want to check out the exhibition “Pixar: The Design of Story” at the Cooper Hewitt through September 11. The Incredibles is being shown for free on August 11 in Francis Lewis Park as part of the Movies Under the Stars series, consisting of outdoor film screenings in smaller parks all over the city, including Barbershop: The Next Cut in Linden Park on August 10, Drumline in Brownsville Playground on August 12, Coraline in De Witt Clinton Park on August 13, The Land Before Time in Lawrence Playground in Flushing Meadows Corona Park on August 14, and Finding Nemo at the Buddy Monument in Forest Park on August 15.
