Elastigirl, who appears in this movie, was also the name of a superheroine (but with a hyphen: Elasti-Girl) in the DC Comics published Doom Patrol, an old comic from the 1960s. Her superpower: altering her size, not stretching parts of her body,

The Incredibles
I'm not sure if the above link is the same trailer, but it's still good. The two links submitted in the article aren't even pumping out 10kb/sec @ 8am on a sunday morning.
The Walt Disney Company has shut down its cel animation studios. Pixar will probably leave Disney after The Incredibles and Cars have completed their runs. There's trouble in Miramaxland. Now I know why Michael Eisner decided to get out in 24 months: there won't be a Disney left. What does survive of the company will assume a role similar to that of Cedar Fair, which runs a few amusement parks.
Am I the only one who finds a superhero by the name of "Elastigirl" more than a little bit sexually provocative? I mean, honestly, there are just too many jokes that you could make about that.
Yes. I, for one, do not fantisize about elastic girls. I like real girls. Who can't fly.

...last night. Looks pretty good, they have some fantastic comedy writers working for Pixar - you could almost believe they were English.
The look and feel of the whole thing was great, however they seem to have backed away from their more and more realistic graphics and this one is 100% cartoon feel.
This was then followed by a commercial for SquareBob in a movie theater that only admits over 21s (the Premium in Framingham, MA). D'oh!
Beep beep.
Isn't this the film that's rumored to debut the trailer for Star Wars ROTS?
... Shark's Tale crashes and burns, and the Incredibles triumphs in their wake. With the exception of Shrek, Dreamworks has been playing copy cat to Pixar. Pixar develops a Bugs Life, and -- what a coincidence -- Dreamworks releases Antz a few months before Pixar. Pixar develops Finding Nemo, and Dreamworks comes out with a Shark's Tale.
They did so well with their only original idea -- Shrek. Given how lame ST looks in previews, I hope it spanks them into forced creativity.
Although I don't see why you need to know what tape is best for repairing your sliderule as I would just use the spare one I carry.
For the first time an animation company has come along that can create new and interesting characters and movies, without have to rehash old characters or make sequels. Eisner is hoping to lord over Pixar all the characters from Toy Story, Monsters Inc, etc. in the hope that Pixar will come back to Disney. It must drive Eisner nuts that Pixar doesn't need their old characters or movies!
(BTW, I noticed Disney released another Lion King movie this past week.... It's time to stop beating a dead horse (or lion) and make some new stuff!)
What, me worry?
Like all truly great cartoons, this one speaks to children and adults, often simultaneously. It has an excellent cast of fully-realized core characters and occurs in an undersea universe that has an odd (often arbitrary but strangely consistent) collection of rules that sometimes become part of the jokes (such as fires burning underwater). I particularly like how everything goes live-action whenever they go above the water surface and the odd live-action inserts. It may be pothead humor, but it works for this pothead.
It sounds like you haven't watched any episodes. You should check it out. You may be surprised.
Torrent is availabe via http://www.filerush.com/download.php?target=the_in credibles-tlr_m480.mov
The bittorrent technology is vastly underused by the the media communities of movie trailers and game demos.
Check out The Iron Giant, Family Dog (if you can find it!), or even the early seasons of The Simpsons (on which he was a consultant) to see just how good this guy's work is.
In the website check out the last character profile (the profile of the villain : Syndrome).

We're not boycotting the MPAA on Sundays.
The only reason we have the rights we have is that people just like us died to gain those rights. -- Cheerio Boy
F.Y.I. The trailer is the second Incredibles Trailer. It's completely different from the first one and much more interesting..
WTF are the Incredibles, and why do they not even get a single paragraph description in the post? It might be nice for those of us that don't feel like downloading 20meg to figure out what this "story" is about.
This is the new trailer before showing Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow movie.

Is this news for nerds now? New movie trailers?
New CGI superhero sci-fi movie trailers.
Lets see, its new, so its news, and its CGI superhero sci-fi stuff, so its for nerds.
Yup, meets the criteria of "news" "for nerds".
Now go to the settings page and make some kind of arrangement that leads to you not having to see movie news on the front page and us not having to see your post complaining about them. Everyone wins.
You can't take the sky from me...
I saw a lot of folks mentioning that they could care less about this sort of thing. I agree, but to clear up some confusion...
The trailer appears to NOT be available either on QuickTime or the movie website. There is a not-yet-activated third trailer link in the Flash animation on the movie website. I believe that the links provided earlier are that trailer.
Honestly, the movie looks rather funny. I remember watching a documentary about how Pixar tackles CGI challenges in each of its movies. In Nemo, it was the realism of the water. Making it look like seawater with plankton and dirt and silt and stuff. Making water look realistic on the fish scales. Stuff like that. Monsters Inc. was all about getting the fur on the blue monster to look like...well...real fur.
They mentioned, in the documentary, that the next film (I would assume that The Incredibles is the one in question) would deal with animating people and more realistic human environments. From what I can see, the characters are cartoony, but they do have much more expressiveness and character than the human characters from movies like Toy Story and Monsters Inc.
Oddly enough, if you think about it, that CGI-based Final Fantasy movie from a few years ago seemed to really capture some human-like realism, and Lucas has done it a little with his prequels. The comment from the documentary made me wonder what Pixar was really getting at with their technology development goals.

Do you think Disney is just a few cartoon studios and some crappy theme parks?
Their movies and theme parks account only for a *small fraction* of their money.
I suggest you educate yourself as to how big Disney is. While at that site check out some other megalopolies, you may be surprised at who owns what.
