Baby-Sitting Jack-Jack

"I even got some Mozart to play while he sleeps, because as leading experts say: Mozart makes babies smarter!"

Kari the babysitter has no idea what she's getting into when she subjects baby Jack-Jack Parr to this "neurological stimulation". Jack-Jack is the youngest of the Incredibles, a family of superheroes who are off saving the world. They all think Jack-Jack has no powers, but as Kari is about to discover, the truth is very different!

For anyone who has seen the Incredibles, this is a hilarious and indispensable little outtake from the main plot. I laugh myself silly every time I see it. Poor Jack-Jack has to put up with Mozart and flashcards, while Kari runs around trying to figure out where and what he is. All babysitters who have had something unexpected occur on the job will have an inkling of how bewildered Kari must be.

The moral of the story: When a baby has developing superpowers, avoid the "campfire" flashcard!

Some DVD Extras are of scenes that are so good, you know they should've been in the original movie. This is not one of them -- it's so good it shouldn't be in the original movie. If you're one of the few who hasn't seen THE INCREDIBLES,(2004) I strongly suggest doing so, and I should also add that doing so ought to be a requirement before seeing JACK-JACK ATTACK(2005), because to do otherwise would spoil the ending of the original movie.

As Brad Bird narrates on Disc 2, he likes movies in the theaters as much as he likes DVD's. So he made this animated short telling viewers what kind of chaos went on while Jack-Jack Parr was being taken care of as the rest of the Parr family was out saving the world from Syndrome. Judging by the phone calls with Helen Parr, it sounds like some evildoer got to Kari(wrong), and we wonder if this babysitter survived(she did). But since this is a short, that's all I'm going to tell you about it. You'll have to get a copy of THE INCREDIBLES on DVD yourself.

With everyones favourite incredibles character being Jack-Jack (sorry Forzon). What would you not love about a short titled Jack-Jack Attack??

In short this needed far more scenes off Jack-Jack to truly add this onto the Disney mantel. With the majority off scenes featuring the baby sitter this 5 minutes only left me unfulfilled.

Although fans of Incredibles will get enjoyment out of this extra content. Showing you what really happened with those voicemails that were left from the baby sitter. Giving you a futher look into this universe and how Syndrome got his hands on Jack-Jack.

It is worth a watch but please give us more Jack-Jack!!

I am consistently impressed by Pixar films. I have usually seen the 'parent' film (in this case "The Incredibles") which prompts me to buy the DVD. I particularly enjoy the shorts for the most profound of reasons...they make me laugh. Jack Jack Attack does just that. I laugh until I cry...every time I watch. It's a good story line with good writing and (of course) good animation. But most of all, I was delighted to see & hear one of my favorite cameo characters from "The Incredibles": Kari, the babysitter (as voiced by Bret Parker). Ms. Parker exhibits great comedic timing and character and has a wonderfully distinctive voice with an expanded opportunity to shine in Jack Jack Attack. The only other voice that tickles me so consistently is that of the great Bert Lahr as the Cowardly Lion in The Wizard of Oz. Now, that's pretty exalted company! Bravo, Pixar! Keep 'um coming...and let's hear more from Bret Parker. (You go, girl!)

This animated short is almost like a scene that could have easily been part of the feature film, "The Incredibles." I guess that's why it's shown here as a short feature addition to that movie's DVD

The voice and slight speech impediment (actually braces, causing it) is hilarious. Kudos to Bret Parker for a great job in here as "Kari."

This a baby-sitter who has Superman-like powers and other weird things turning into a ball of fire. Of course, the unsuspecting baby-sitter totally freaks out. It's all fun to watch - just wild scenes after another including a film noir-like opening and closing scene with a detective that's going to make sure Kari doesn't reveal what she's seen.

Bizarre, to say the least, but a fun four minutes with tremendous visuals.
