Jack-Jack Attack

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!)

Jack-Jack Attack is a short film produced by the animation studio Pixar and available in the DVD version of the movie The Incredibles.

The Parrs' baby Jack-Jack is thought to be normal, not having any super-powers like his parents or siblings. But when an outsider is hired to watch him, Jack-Jack shows his true potential. The Pera's baby appears to be normal, just, it seems, with no trace of any superpowers. But when he's left alone with the babysitter, the baby shows his true potential.

Oh pity... Poor baby sitter, how come they didn't tell the poor thing that the kid has super powers, all powers, including, genetically inherited from other family members... Short cut...

This short shows what happen between Jack-Jack and Kari when she was hired to babysit him when the Incredibles were busy fighting Syndrome.

It flows perfectly with the movie. Only this shows what we didn't see during the movie. So anyways Dick Ricker the Parr family's lawyer who keeps their location safe from any danger. Questions Kari on what happen when she babysits Jack-Jack.

We get to see her get all confused and freaked out when Jack-Jack transforms and does unexpected stuff during the baby sitting.

It's very funny for a short film. It's highly recommended to those who want to know what happened between Kari and Jack-Jack.

You're able to see this short on the Incredibles DVD.

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 have always loved Pixar, and as much as I enjoyed The Incredibles I loved the short film that came with it even more, Jack-Jack Attack. The animation is simply tremendous, with beautiful colours and backgrounds throughout and a noir-ish feel at the start, and the music by the ever-reliable Michael Giacchino fits wonderfully, energetic and melodic. Jack-Jack Attack is wonderfully written too, it is both hilarious and cute, with a story that is fast-paced, zany and full of heart and the funniest Pixar protagonist in Kari. Bret Parker's voice work is nothing short of outstanding. Overall, a must see, one of Pixar's best of the 2000s with Presto and One Man Band, and one of my favourite short films from them. 10/10 Bethany Cox
