From the Acadamy Award-winning studio that brought us Toy Story, Monsters, Inc., and the blockbuster Finding Nemo, comes The Incredibles, a hilarious and action-packed story of a family of superheroes banished to a boring suburban existence. Until...Mr. Incredible gets duped into an evil scheme and his family charges in to the rescue. The film is wonderfully graphic, bringing an early-'60s retro look to the superhero genre. The Art of the Incredibles once again pulls together the fabulous and otherwise never-seen movie concept art with quotes from the creative team of artists, designers, and directors. With an 8-page gatefold and fabulous color art, it is a visually stunning book that will appeal to the adult animation audience.
