Honestly I think The Incredibles was always going to be a hard sell for me, as full-disclosure, I’m not that into to superheroes movies. It’s just not for me. That being said I went into The Incredibles with an open-mind as it wasn’t standard super hero fare

Red – Passion, Danger and Energy
Red is a primary color that comes from multiple shades and tones. It’s a color of passion, danger and energy, a bold color that stands out and can make the heart beat faster.
Because of that, I’m focusing on costumes that feature bright, vivid reds. Think cherries and tomatoes, not wine. Cherry is primary red, whereas burgundies, crimsons, and scarlets are darker shades of the color and they have a separate list.
This ranking is only for fantasy and science fiction movies. Costumes from period and modern movies have their own rankings. Also, undergarments, cover-ups, sleepwear, outerwear, swimwear etc are not included.
The costumes are ranked by aesthetics, memorability and how well it suits the character/film. This list aims for objectivity but no list truly is.

This ranking only considers costumes from modern movies—in this case, movies more or less set in the modern world, even if not the 2020s precisely. Period costumes and fantasy/sci-fi costumes have their own rankings. Undergarments, cover-ups, sleepwear, outerwear, and swimwear are not included.

Well, Well, Well at last we have come to one of the rare Pixar movies have seen prior and even rarer still I believe this is the only one I saw in theaters. Which is crazy if I actually thought about it or I’m just forgetting about seeing another Pixar movie in theaters but I don’t think so. I think to date it’s only been Finding Nemo.
Another big Anniversary for Disney is 1986’s The Great Mouse Detective. It was directed by John Musker and Ron Clements. The duo has directed seven Disney movies together including The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, and Moana but The Great Mouse Detective was their directorial debut. The movie was based on a series of books Basil of Baker Street written by Eve Titus and illustrated by Paul Galdone.
The Great Mouse Detective does get a bit lost amongst the other titles in the Disney pantheon as it came out at the tail end of Bronze/Dark Age and aside from the villain there isn’t a lot buzz around it.
But is it a bad movie that deserves to be forgotten?

At this point I should just state when I have already watched a Pixar movie prior to reviewing it because Monster Inc was yet another movie I haven’t see prior. I do have a vague memory of seeing a clip but I didn’t know the plot or much else.
