Baby-Sitting 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!)

Jack-Jack Attack is an other brilliant short film by Pixar. It is a follow on from the award win film "The Incredibles", and just as good as the full film. The story line is excellent, with an unexpected ending. It follows the story of a young girl, who is being investigated, who was set the task of babysitting the baby of the Incredibles family. The baby has shown no signs of superpowers before this time, unlike his parents and siblings. The baby showed no signs of super powers when the mother checks in, but the phone goes mysteriously dead when the problems start to happen. The boy develops his powers when the girl is trying to educate him. He flies through walls, disappears and catches on fire. This is enough to drive the girl insane, and when so mysterious guy turns up at the door she imminently thinks he is a replacement, and gives the baby straight to him. The short is targeted at the same audience at the main film, little children, but is interesting and well done enough for adults to be interested. The animation of the short is very well done, almost lifelike, and captivates you.

In the end it is just another amazing animation by Pixar. Brilliant story line and captivating animation.

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.

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!!

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.
