Great analysis - thanks!
You’re spot-on with “The Incredibles” - the single most conservative mainstream film in years, if not decades.
I don’t understand why people have a real problem with a rat protagonist, though - talking animals usually signify that a willing suspension of disbelief is required. “Bambi” had a cute skunk, after all, and I’m not aware of some rush of small children luring skunks into their houses as a result.
Can Pixar even make a Dud? Is it even possible for them?
