The collector’s edition DVD, which came out this week, is fantastic.

The extras, including the short film “Jack-Jack Attack,” are definitely worthwhile. (There’s even an encyclopedia of other “supers,” complete with audio interviews and portraits!) The special “animated” episode about Mr. Incredible and Frozone (complete with a special commentary by those two) is priceless.

And now, here’s the news!!
