Powers: unknown. Jack-Jack is the little black sheep of the family. The most unusual thing about him is how there is nothing unusual about him. But who knows? Like all babies, he has 'incredible' potential.
The Incredibles (Brad Bird, 2004) is an American computer-animated superhero film, and the sixth feature-length animated film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. Set in a fictitious version of the 1960s, the film follows Bob and Helen Parr, a couple of superheroes, known as Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl, who hide their powers in accordance with a government mandate and attempt to live a quiet suburban life with their three children. Bob's desire to help people draws the entire family into a confrontation with a vengeful fan-turned-foe. Although the film was not as successful as its predecessor Finding Nemo, it still received 27 awards and the film's DVD was the best-selling DVD of 2005, selling 17.4 million copies.
The story of The Incredibles begins with a still young Mr. Incredible a.k.a. Bob Parr who, like any superhero, performs his daily heroic deeds. He is unexpectedly visited by Buddy, a young fan eager to become his helper. Buddy turns out to be more of a nuisance than a help, despite his self-invented gadgets, and Mr. Incredible sends him away. Later that day, he marries the superheroine Elastigirl (Helen). Then, suddenly, things go wrong. After Mr. Incredible saves a man who was about to commit suicide, the man sues him. This leads to a chain reaction of lawsuits against superheroes. The government decides to help the superheroes by setting up a special programme that will pay for all their lawsuits and provide them with new identities, on the condition that they never do heroic work again. 15 years later, Bob and Helen have settled into a quiet little town. They now have three children: teenage Violet, 10-year-old Dashiell ("Dash"), and baby Jack-Jack. Violet and Dash each have superpowers, but Jack-Jack is apparently normal. Bob, who now works at an insurance company, is frustrated that he can't help anyone anymore. He still tries to be a "hero" by pointing out loopholes in the law to his clients so they can get their benefits. He also regularly goes out at night with his old friend Lucius (also an ex-superhero called Frozone) to help people. He is unknowingly shadowed by Mirage, a mysterious woman. After Bob loses his job, Mirage contacts him. She offers him a large sum of money if Bob will take out a runaway robot, the Omnidroid 9000, on an island. Bob accepts the job and defeats the Omnidroid. After this, Bob gets more and more assignments. He starts training again to get in shape and has the fashion designer Edna Mode make him a new suit. Two months later, Mirage calls Bob again. When Bob arrives on the same island again, he is attacked by an enhanced version of the Omnidroid. He is captured by the mastermind behind the Omnidroid, a man called Syndrome. This Syndrome is none other than his old fan Buddy. He has made a fortune over the past 15 years inventing and selling weapons. He has kept the best weapons in order to become a hero, despite his lack of superpowers. Later, when Mr. Incredible escapes and looks into Syndrome's computer, he is horrified to discover that Syndrome has already killed dozens of superheroes to prepare his Omnidroid for battle with Mr. Incredible. At home, Helen discovers Bob's absence. When she sees that his old superhero suit has been repaired, she immediately goes to Edna. Edna shows the superhero costumes that she has made for all the members of the family. From Edna, she hears that Bob was fired months ago and has started working as a superhero again. Thanks to a transmitter Edna fitted into Bob's suit, Helen discovers Bob's location and immediately jets off to the island. Dash and Violet come along as stowaways. Unfortunately for Mr. Incredible, the transmitter also gives his location away to Syndrome and he is captured again.
Brad Bird originally conceived the screenplay for The Incredibles for a traditional, animated film for Warner Bros. According to his own account, he got the idea from a drawing he had made in 1993. He developed the film as an extension of the 1960s comic books and spy films from his boyhood and personal family life. After the film Looney Tunes: Back in Action became a flop, Warner Bros. closed its animated film division, and the project for The Incredibles was cancelled. When Bird later talked to his friend John Lasseter about the film, Lasseter convinced him to give Pixar a try. Bird and Lasseter knew each other from their college years at CalArts in the 1970s. Pixar accepted Bird's script but changed the animation to computer animation. This made it the first Pixar film to feature only human characters. At his request, Bird was allowed to put together his own crew. He approached people he had worked with on The Iron Giant (1999), among others. Bird's idea contained many scenes that were difficult for the computer animation to do. Among other things, new techniques were needed to realistically depict human anatomy, clothing, and skin. Among other things, Violet's long hair was technically difficult to draw. The film was largely treated as if it were a live-action production. John Barry was the first choice for the composer because of his music for the trailer of On Her Majesty's Secret Service. However, Barry did not want to recreate his old soundtracks for the film, so Michael Giacchino was approached. The music in the film is entirely instrumental. Critics' reactions were very positive. Critic Roger Ebert awarded the film 3.5 out of 4 stars and wrote: "The Pixar Studios, which cannot seem to take a wrong step, steps right again with "The Incredibles," a superhero spoof that alternates breakneck action with satire of suburban sitcom life. After the "Toy Story" movies, "A Bug's Life," "Monsters, Inc." and "Finding Nemo," here's another example of Pixar's mastery of popular animation." The film is generally regarded as one of the best Pixar films. One point that many critics noticed was that the film had a much more serious and mature undertone than previous Pixar films. However, this was also a point of negative criticism. The film clearly contained more and more realistic violence than previous Pixar films. The film won the Academy Award in 2005 for the best animated film (the second Pixar film to win this award) and the award for best sound effects. The film was also nominated for the award for best screenplay and best sound. The Incredibles made $70,467,623 in its opening week, more than any Pixar film has ever made in its opening week. The film even (just) beat Finding Nemo's revenue of $70,251,710. The film brought in a total of $261,441,092, making it the second most successful Pixar film ever, and the fifth most successful film of 2004. Worldwide revenue was $631,436,092. A sequel, Incredibles 2, was released in 2018.

We lost a wonderful neighbor today: Jack-Jack, the sweet Mr. Fur, is now an aether kitty. He died peacefully today (Saturday, 6/2/07) at around 5pm, surrounded by love, and in dignity with his favorite vet.
Jack-Jack succumbed to end-stage renal failure, having lasted longer than anyone thought he would (a tribute to his amazing mama, who took care of him with gentle, loving hands), considering his advanced disease. He fought a good, long, and hard fight, and he died knowing that he was beloved and cherished.
This is the last image I took of Jack. He was a bright orange presence, admiring the sunset while we blew bubbles with the Little Bee. At the time, my focus was on the bubbles. Now, this picture means much more. We have lost a sweet soul, and my heart goes out to my neighbor, Diana.
Surf Surf Surf
I have a feeling Jack-Jack is ready for Spring / Summer to get here... and so am I!
Posted photos for the last couple of days... It's just been a bit crazy around here. I will try to catch up with everyone in the next couple of days.
Jack-Jack’s First Anniversary
Today marks the first anniversary that Jack-Jack became a part of our family. He has come a long way since he first arrived and though he still has a handful of things to learn I am very proud of our little boy. To another year and beyond of adventure, love, loyalty, unconditional love, family and companionship Jack-Jack!
The shark goggles are perfect for our little shark :P
We had a good night jamming away
There was a full moon showing
And we started to play
But in the cold light of day next morning
Party was over - huh
The party was over
La pioggia voleva rovinare tutto.
Ci si è messo anche il Jack-Jack.
Ma ce l'abbiamo fatta!!
È stato tutto bellissimo, la compagnia, i luoghi, oggi anche il tempo.
Ho anche una Lomo tutta mia finalmente (devo ringraziare Monica e Michela per questo).
Ottima la cena (ma quanto sono fusi i tipi?!), "abbondante il pranzo", grazie anche a Patrik.
Adesso prepariamoci per il Judgement Day III.
Ringrazio tutti coloro che hanno deciso di partecipare (in ordine di apparizione nella mia giornata) :
Clara (Petacci)
Monica (Bolbiiiiii)
Myki
Margherita/Margarina - Daniele
Alessandro, per il nickname vediamo poi come cambia (per adesso Colori D'Autunno)
Angelo Piris, compagno di pranzo!!
Chiccaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!! (oh, grazie ancora)
Mery
Patrik (PizzaPat buonissima, anche se ci hai dato gli scarti, dì la verità )
Grazie anche a Matteo (MM) e Luana che anche se non c'erano si sono fatti sentire.
Un sentito vaffanculo ad Amadeus (grazie eh, Piris bastardello).
Padova è una bella città .
Gli Amici Di Jack sono bellissimi.
E chi non c'era non sa cosa si è perso.
Manca solo una cosa, Lui.
Lui sta arrivando : Ganzo 2002.
Jack was able to grow a very nice little mustache for this year's Movember.
Movember is an annual event involving the growing of mustaches during the month of November to raise awareness of men's health issues, such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer and men's suicide . The Movember Foundation runs the Movember charity event, housed at www.Movember.com. The goal of Movember is to "change the face of men's health." @Movember #Movember
By encouraging men (whom the charity refers to as "Mo Bros") to get involved, Movember aims to increase early cancer detection, diagnosis, and effective treatments, and ultimately reduce the number of preventable deaths. Besides annual check-ups, the Movember Foundation encourages men to be aware of family history of cancer and to adopt a healthier lifestyle.
Since 2004, the Movember Foundation charity has run Movember events to raise awareness and funds for men's health issues, such as prostate cancer and depression, in Australia and New Zealand . In 2007, events were launched in Ireland, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, El Salvador, Spain, the United Kingdom, Israel, South Africa, Taiwan and the United States. As of 2011, Canadians were the largest contributors to the Movember charities of any nation. In 2010, Movember merged with the testicular cancer event Tacheback.
In 2012, the Global Journal listed Movember as one of the world's top 100 NGOs (non-government organization).
Remember guys your health is important, It doesn't mean you are any less of a man if you have pain or whatever to go see a health care provider. Get an annual check-up. Your body, boyfriend, girlfriend, partner, husband, wife, parent will thank you!

MOLEMAN'S EPIC RAP BATTLES!!!!!!!
THE CORTEZ FAMILY…
…VS…
…THE PARR FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!
BEGIN!
The Parr Family:
Bob Parr: We're back from cinema's best iteration of Fantastic Four,
To warm-up for the only Pixar sequel folks were asking for!
Helen Parr: As prepping for this, your Sat. A.M. 'toon-fare conflicts aren't sufficient;
Next to crossing us, your marriage pales in terms of risky missions!
Violet Parr: Hey there, losers; didn't see me? Weird; it must have been the lighting,
'Cause if your ilk's what we're fighting, then I see no need for hiding!
Dash Parr: Likewise with my skill on tracks and mics; I'm known for blazing both,
And I'll be taking first place, sure as Violet's taste for Tony-loaf!
(*Bump*) Hey!
Helen: I'd tell the kids to focus, but with you, there's naught at stake.
Bob: Take after Felix and say "uncle", and it better not be fake!
Violet: My hair is Hell to animate, but our words flow with utter ease…
Dash: …And speed enough to melt your brains until you're speaking Fooglie-ese!
Bob: I'll leave your pussy of a papa with an "i"-shaped carven scar!
Violet: Even our backup puppet counterparts could sock it to you hard.
Dash: We'll take whatever heat you bring, with or without our uniforms.
Helen: To call you up to Parr with us is stretching even by my norms!
The Cortez Family:
Gregorio Cortez: Brace for the fiercest Cortez conquest since Tenochtitlan's demise…
Juni Cortez: …To get the full effect of which, no glasses need adorn the eyes!
Carmen Cortez: You freaks aren't cool enough to best us!
Ingrid Cortez: Specialness runs through our whole clan.
Cortez Family: We spit undermining disses, digging deeper than your Mole-Man!
Announcer: …HUH?
Gregorio: Midlife's stress was a joke next to the crisis you'll be in;
Your credibility is like your breeding rights: it's dubious.
Yo, I'm the dopest O.S.S. O.G. this side of William Donovan;
The Third Brain's maker's mind is not one you should pit your brawn against!
Carmen: Guess what? I've learned to sing, and once I massacre this tune,
The lot of you will go "OH SHIT!", and no, you won't be talking 'shrooms!
Grandpa taught us to be forgiving, but that's why we left him home,
And after this, you'll never walk again, even in V.R. zones!
Juni: Intent on playing some tacky tricks here, Dash? I'd love to see you try;
You'll get one-shot-dropped in your tracks just like I Wanna Be the Guy,
'Cause I don't slip up when I grip a mic! I'm quite the Troublemaker;
No deceiver saying I remold fates of foes and juggle haters!
Ingrid: When my mission is to take you out, know I've no qualms fulfilling it;
These Disneyfied Watchmen have no idea who they're dealing with!
Hell, Helen changed her codename just so merch could be produced;
Guess those flex-powers wouldn't extend the terms of nominative use.
Gregorio: My namesake pleaded for his life, but you're the ones on trial here!
Carmen: Make like your whole breed after your last lawsuit-serving; disappear.
Juni: It's one cruel world now that you've messed with us; we'll have you for our supper!
Ingrid: It'll prove your costliest misstep since rescuing that jumper!
The Parr Family:
Bob: Celebrate your mediocrity; we'll stick to being exceptional!
Violet: Employ Game Over's gimmicks; still we'll be more three-dimensional.
Helen: That film was your third strike!
Dash: Alas, Rodriguez pressed "Continue"…
Bob: …And that movie's basis on a shit was least among its issues!
Helen: Both our Oscar wins attest: we're Pixar's choicest heavyweights…
Dash: Endowed with excellence that even Juni's voice couldn't replicate!
Violet: We'll leave you sapped as tech is by the pulses your Transmooker shoots…
Bob: …And scrambling to find the door like Lucius for his super suit!
Helen: It's obvious we're in the right, and I don't mean conservatism.
Violet: Each of us is truly special…
Dash: …and that's not a euphemism!
Helen: Any words of wisdom, E?
Edna Mode: Well, I've made costumes for our rivals,
Capes included, 'cause to step to you, they're clearly suicidal!
Bob: Even in Greg's own daydreams, he'll still get violently hurled!
Helen: You couldn't defeat us if you trained for all the time in the world!
Dash: We're tougher than your robot doubles…
Violet: …And you can't invert our coding.
Parr Family: Birdie's greatest giants, stomping out green-screen-abusing rodents!
The Cortez Family:
Fegan Floop: Who?
Gregorio: Who do you think you are?
Floop: What?
Ingrid: A mistake is what you're making!
Floop: When?
Juni: Even my watch can tell you: now's the time for relocation.
Floop: Where?
Carmen: Go anywhere but here…
Floop: Why?
Juni: …To escape your coming doom!
Cortez Family: We'll put you on ice more abruptly than your comics run with Boom!
Gregorio: As dexterous as spider-monkeys with these burns, we're spurning you dumb chumps.
Ingrid: In verse-articulation terms, you're closer to Thumb-Thumbs!
Carmen: Plus, if you're waiting on backup to show, they'd better be amazing…
Juni: …And count out God coming down to help; He fears the Hell we're raising.
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…
Bob: Aw, now look what you've done; you've made the baby cry!
Gregorio: Oh, what; complaining about hurt feelings now, are we?
Violet: That wasn't a complaint, dude; it was a warning!
Jack-Jack Parr:
…aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam! It's time for a reveal; I'm coming further out my shell.
Before, my morphing surfaced; now, I'll show that I can rhyme as well!
This dope six-digit jackpot victor of the power-picking lottery
Spits infinitely sicker than your average super-progeny;
A prodigy! A maniac who lacks in cutting slack,
I pack a thwacking smack, so hacks, backtrack; Jack-Jack's on the attack!
Skill-stacked in every elemental trade; the rugrat Metamorpho.
When it comes to impish infants, only Rosemary's is more-so!
My win's sureness is like your CG: discerning it is easy.
I'll send you to an abyss; you'll fall for hours like Luigi!
Well, my bladder's emptied out, but still a diaper will be wetted;
Thrashing you so hard, you'll wish some M.I.B.'d make you forget it.
Machete:
Aaarrgh, enough talk from Kahuna! Now, Noncredibles, get ready
To eat your own words and say "uncle" for real, 'cause it's Machete,
Here to aid his family!
Carmen: You mean by arming us with gadgets?
Machete: No; by murdering our foes with all my namesakes in this jacket!
Kids, avert your eyes; I'm gonna make a Grindhouse of this place:
Slaughter some sucker supers, then go kill Mel Gibson up in space!
Machete don't text, he don't tweet, and he don't beat 'round bushes, either;
I'll end you less hesitantly than I did that robo-Bieber!
I'm a Train, ploughing head-on into these devils in red spandex;
Helen, I've seen rubber bands entail more wondrous elastics!
Answered Estevez's duty-call, and I'd vote Trump for president
Sooner than sparing you the cost of messing with this Mexican!
Deporting you to Hell with wild, exploitative flair;
Even Raul the Ghoul agrees your style's broke beyond repair!
I've got eight eyepatches for future use by you wack, low-life bozos,
Once I leave you blind as Luz, and swallow Jack-Jack whole like Kronos!
(*Screaming and flashing lights out of nowhere*)
Syndrome:
Congratulations; that's the secret word, but it's no Pee-wee Herman show
When this sick snubbed sidekick-turned-super-squasher's beastly sermons flow!
With Jimmy Neutron's hairdo and an intellect to match,
I went from Bomb Voyage's role to sending Xerek to the trash!
This Buddy ain't nobody's buddy, and you'll all be getting owned,
Because unlike some hypocrites, I mean it saying I work alone,
So if no man's an island, just call me the closest any gets;
The only Syndrome more inclined to spitting harsh words than Tourette's!
I tempted heroes with Mirages of recapturing their glory days
To end their age like Wanted, terminating them in gory ways,
And strained to make the Omnidroid adaptive with my handiness,
Then staged the greatest octopoid attack since Ozymandias!
There's zero-points that you can make against this heavy hitter;
You're all full of B.S., and that doesn't stand for "Baby Sitter".
Man, I'd still stand out if everyone became a mad rhyme-buster;
Dopeness-over-volume-wise, I am the densest motherf-
Aaaaaaagh! (*Sucked into plane engine; explosion*)
WHO WON?
WHO'S NEXT?
I DECIDE!!!!!!
MOLEMAN'S EPIC RAP BATTLES!!!!!!!!
