The Incredibles (2004 Brad Bird & scr)

He wrote it? All of it? On his own? Just the scene alone where Elastigirl is stuck between several automatic doors is ingenious. His screenplay was Oscar nominated.

It had been too long since we were last bowled over by this playful super-hero / family adventure. Craig T Nelson and Holly Hunter are Mr & Mrs Incredible, Samuel L Jackson is Frozone and Jason Lee the evil Syndrome. The hilarious designer character is voiced by Bird himself!

The design and animation is seriously amazing, but so is the sound (Sound Editing by Randy Thom and Michael Silvers won the Oscar; Sound Mixing by Thom, Gary Rizzo and Doc Kane nominated.) Michael Giacchino's fabulous parody of John Barry's Bond scores wasn't even nominated - he's using the same instruments and arrangements in points.
