Never got around to telling you how much we enjoyed The Incredibles when it came out in November; but you could probably infer that from the awe in which I hold The Iron Giant (Brad Bird’s previous movie) and the high regard I have for Pixar films generally. Though some were hoping for a best-picture nomination, I think the fact that a cartoon has been nominated for best original screenplay is a very positive sign. Though, if you’ve seen this movie, it’s not at all a surprise.
