Book Description: Follow the story of the Incredibles, a family of undercover superheroes, in the Essential Guide to Disney/Pixar's newest collaboration. This insider's guide gives readers all the background information on the characters and places seen in the movie - a must for CG animation fans.
The Essential Guide Unlike the "Artwork" book (see my other review), this one is great for the kids or the casual fan. This one is the Incredibles that you know and love (like me), with a few extra tidbits of information.
It's great! This large and brightly colored book is a great gift for the young Incredibles fan you know and love! It is chock-full of many images from the movie, and has lots of interesting bits of information. What is covered in this book? Mr. Incredible, Bob Parr, Elastigirl, Helen Parr, Violet, Dash, Jack-Jack, the Parr family home, Bob's den, Insuricare, The Incredibile, Frozone, Edna Mode, E's Laboratory, Fallen Heroes, Syndrome, Mirage, the Omnidrone, Nomanisan (Island), and Syndrome's island base. Each subject gets two large, facing pages.
This is a great book, and sure to be a hit with any young Incredibles fan. I bought this book for my nephew and he loves it. (Indeed, I read through it before I turned it over to him.) So, if you of someone you know is an Incredibles fan, then get this book for them. It's great!

Fun book. Unlike the 'Shark Tale' and 'Finding Nemo' Essential Guides, this one didn't provide much valuable information beyond the film itself, but it explains the movie as well as can be expected and, for fans, is worth owning if only because of the really great pictures. They're large, clear, and colorful, and loads of them are smothered onto each page.
Comments? For one thing, there's a picture of Bob Parr/Mr. Incredible & Frozone/Lucius Best getting caught by the police after rescuing people from the fire. Though they're clearly in a jewelry store, the caption reads: "...{they} accidentally find themselves breaking into a bank!" It goes on to say: "The fact that they look like bank robbers..." Jewelry store robbers. *cough ahem* Small error.
There are some nice shots of Edna Mode's phat crib (aka, cool house.) If only they'd included one of her impressive aquarium. As always, a two-page spread is devoted to each important character. *claps* Yay! The settings and machines are also featured.
On the whole it's definitely fun for kids and fans.
