Film: The Incredibles (2004)
Showing: Christmas Day, 3.10pm, BBC1
Why It’s A Must-See: Well, apart from the fact that it’s essentially BBC1’s flagship Christmas title for 2009, there’s also the (quite reasonable) argument that it’s bloody ace.
Pixar’s A-grade conveyor belt had really cranked into overdrive by the release of this Simpsons-esque (hardly surprising, with Brad Bird at the helm), quip-packed tale about decommissioned superheroes struggling to cope with domestic anonymity.
Don’t Get Up For A Mince Pie...at all. You’re bound to miss one of the countless backhanders or underplayed sight gags that make Pixar’s technical tour de force a film that viewers of all ages will be able to milk for chuckles by the bucketload.
Next: Pirates Of The Caribbean

And there I was thinking Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was an adaptation of a book by this guy called Roald Dahl.
