The Art of Animation: Storytelling in the Digital Age
Description: 

Mr. Incredible, his wife, a.k.a. Elastigirl, and their three children are superheroes living in anonymity in a bland suburb. Stuck in a white-collar job, Bob (to the denizens of Metroville) longs for the days when his nine-to-five was saving the world. Then a malfunctioning robot, the Omnidroid, gives him the op to don his derring-do duds and fight the evil Syndrome, ruler of the robot remote. This Pixar pic by Brad Bird (Ratatouille) has a stunning compendium of sounds supporting the film’s delirious visual feel, from the retro 1960s suburb to the futuristic mega-machines. Winner of the Academy Award for Best Sound Editing.
