Jack-Jack Attack (2005)

Best movie of this year hands down!

Sadly Over-hyped

Redundant and unnecessary.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Jack-Jack Attack is a DVD short written and directed by Brad Bird who made The Incredibles. It neatly ties into The Incredibles by filling in a gap of the movie between the arrival of the babysitter, the villain getting hold of the baby and Jack-Jack coming to the rescue.The film is more about Kari the babysitter who has no idea of the powers the baby has, then again Jack-Jack parents thought he had no superpowers.When Kari subjects Jack-Jack Parr to some 'neurological stimulation' Jack Jack exhibits all manner of superpowers including bursting into flames.A nice enough short for fans of the movie and younger viewers will love it.

Jack-Jack Attacks is a short film from 2005 Walt Disney, Pixar film 'The Incredibles' which is an animated, adventure movie that is aimed at younger children but all ages, even adults could enjoy this film. Jack-Jack Attack was originally part of the movie but was removed as it was unnecessary. Kari, a confused, young, babysitter is placed in a dark room with an FBI agent and asked about the situation. Whilst the Incredibles are out Kari is put in charge of the baby Jack-Jack who secretly has superpowers that allow him to ignite, fly through walls and laser objects with his eyes. As his super powers get out of control the doorbell rings. Desperate to get rid of the baby Kari hands the baby over to the 'replacement' which actually turns out to be the evil character 'Syndrone' . This short yet adorable and humorous is a perfect addition to 'The Incredibles' with the funniest characters and emotions. Overall, I could recommend this short film to everyone as its humour can be enjoyed by everyone.

*** MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS ***Jack-Jack attack is a short film based on the youngest 'Incredible' child and a overly confident teenage babysitter. Kari is called into babysit Jack-Jack when the rest of the family get called out to save the world. Everyone- including his family- think that Jack-Jack is just a normal child. Soon into her job Kari discovers that Jack-Jack can do all sorts of magical and crazy things.This short film is hilariously funny and captivating for people of all ages. It purposefully makes it funny for little children (who the film was clearly made for) and for teenagers and adults. This short film is not as happy and colourful as most kids films but instead it is kinda dark and mysterious.I thoroughly enjoyed this short film and highly recommend it to anybody and everybody. It is fun for the whole family or even great as a pick- me-up after a tough day. Jack-Jack attacks is the perfect thing for anyone who feels down. I really enjoyed The Incredibles and I am really happy that I could see this short film as well.

A comedy based short, Brad Bird uses amazing animation techniques to show expression an emotion through the characters, so you can genuinely feel pity for Kari and her stressful job as a babysitter. Bret Parker, who voiced young Kari, did an incredible job with the expression in her voice, to show distress and discomfort, along with playfulness and joy. The same goes for Bud Luckey, who voices Detective Rick Dicker, used technique in his voice to show authority, yet little emotion. Still, even with little to no emotion in his voice, Bud Luckey did an extreme job voicing Detective Rick Dicker. I enjoy the way that this film exert shows how any ordinary human being handles the extreme responsibility of taking care of someone who, unwillingly and unknowingly, has complete control over you. This is seen in the short in the way that during the beginning of the exert, Kari being completely ignorant and oblivious to the fact that Jack-Jack has supernatural powers. As the short progresses, Kari gradually begins to be aware of Jack-Jack extraordinary abilities, and her way of dealing with it is incredibly interesting.Brad Bird showed us how an average person deals with being in a situation where they have to be incredibly careful of their actions, in this case, being that Jack-Jack is only a toddler and Kari's job as a baby-sitter means she holds the incredible responsibility of taking only the most extreme care of him. It also shows that even in situations like these, there are still scenarios where one, or all of the people involved can be put in incredible danger, but the scenarios still must be treated with the utmost safety and concern.Altogether, I thoroughly enjoyed the four minute Pixar short, and thought it was amusing to watch, as well as interesting enough to keep the viewer pleased and entertained throughout.
