Yes, the slipcover is holographic. Vertically, more than diagonally if that makes any sense. Nemo's holographic tendencies seem to have mostly been diminished over the past 16 months, so by comparison, TI's case seems particularly catchy.

Thanks for the compliments. I don't know if The Incredibles tops Nemo's or Monsters' DVDs as far as supplements go (it might), but it's certainly not a disappointment from the high Pixar standard. :up:

Fantastic review- I'm so pumped for this DVD! I'm especially delighted by the (easter egg spoiler) Frank & Ollie surprise!

I dunno it just never caught my interest but after reading the review for it I might consider renting it when it is released as it doesn't sound as bad as i thought

There is a reason why The Incredibles has pulled in around $290 million dollars in the US alone, and why it just won for Best Animated Feature Film. It really is, pardon the pun, an Incredible film, and you will not be disappointed.

Yet another fantastic review! I skipped the surprise features part, but overall this movie seems to be getting the treatment it deserves!

Awesome review as always! :up: I vaguely remember the show. Of course like most people who watched it, I was younger than high school at the time, and even then it was a bit silly for me. I read a decent amount of <i>Sweet Valley Kids</i> and <i>Sweet Valley Twins</i> (the elementary school and junior high spin-offs) when I was really young, but by the time I was old enough to read the high school books, I had moved on to more difficult reading. I sound snobby, no? :p

Luke, i like the review for Popular!
ahh, that show was stupidly funny! :lol:
sometimes you get it, sometimes it's like.."what the??" :P
these t.v. high school shows are funny, but the best will always always always always be SBTB! :)
nonetheless, another review that brought back memories for me! :D

*p.s. I wonder if those that were complaining about Haley's name in That Darn Cat would notice that they fixed it (www.ultimatedisney.com)

Great Popular review Luke... I used to be a Popular fan and I miss Popular since the show got cancel and didn't last a third season on WB.
Some of the best High School shows are SBTB and BMW.

Great review, Luke!

Finding Neverland is still playing in a couple theaters, oddly, but I'm still getting the DVD. The 16-minute feature sounds interesting, especially since it's got clips from Disney's Peter Pan!

Another good review Luke! :) you made the movie magical! 8) :P I'll be purchasing that when it comes out.

Aaron's review of Felicity is good too, but I'm not a fan of her. But I still read it..I thought by reading it, I'd catch interest in the DVD set...but nope. I dislike the series. ;) :twisted:
