the premise looks rok-solid (pun intended), with a dysfunctional family of superheroes.
i loved finding nemo, but hopefully i won't spoil the incredibles for myself by seeing too many previews, like i did with finding nemo. a year and a half is a LOT of hype to build.
man, how do they get the body animation so perfect? do they just pour over human physiology until they've got it perfected, or is it all the programs they're using (or, probably, a little of both)?
Knowing Pixar, they studied physiology a lot and wrote their own software to deal with it, like what they did with cases like Sulley's hair. In addition, the biggest problem with human animation in most movies is that they try to look too realistic, or try to combine it with live action (Gollum, the Burly Brawl, etc.). By making a caricature in a caricature context, it actually will look more convincing than trying to get all that subtle movement as accurate as possible.
Well, it seems to me that all of those 'dysfunctional superhero' shows are rip-offs. There will be one original, and from that point on they're all derivative.
I think you may be right, George of the Jungle is certainly the oldest example of this genre that I can think of at present. But, properly done, it's got a built-in audience. Most Tick fans will go see it.

I'm surprised because Pixar does things that are so original.

I'll be there for sure. Too bad Pixar hasn't shrugged off Disney yet.
We'll have to see what happens after the release of The Incredibles. Disney *need* Pixar.
