L'attacco di Jack-Jack

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.

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.

I liked THE INCREDIBLES. It was a very good movie for the entire family and there is little to criticize about the film, though occasionally the film could have used a transfusion of more humor into the script. This is why I loved this DVD extra so much, as it consisted of some of the funniest computer generated scenes I have ever seen.

The short consists of a "behind the scenes" look at what happened when Jack-Jack began exhibiting signs of super powers while he was being watched by his nice but harried babysitter. It fills in the missing portion of the film between the arrival of the sitter and Jack-Jack coming to the rescue. A wonderful and not to be missed addition to an excellent film. Watch it and be prepared to have a great time.

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.

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!)
