O Ataque do Zezé

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 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.

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!)

"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!

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
