Fans will arguably claim that Jack-Jack is the best character from 'The Incredibles'. The mysterious enigmatic infant that, at first, seemingly acquired no special abilities. Only for this short animation to explore some of his various powers ranging from laser eyes, teleportation and spontaneous combustion. It's good fun, and Bird matches the consistency of his feature length film through visual storytelling that will provide many chuckles throughout. Kari the babysitter thrusts her magnificent ambition onto the screen, convincing both us and the Parr family that she can handle any situation. Let's be honest, no adult could deal with a floating baby drifting through walls. The short does fill a gap in parallel to 'The Incredibles', in particular how Syndrome got access to Jack-Jack, so there is some substance. Containing an excellent one-liner explaining what the 'S' stands for and why he couldn't have 'BS'. Ahhh...classic. It's fast paced, shifting between Jack-Jack's many powers and provides a small dose of entertainment for fans. And, let's face it, any animation accompanied by Mozart is aiming for great success. I personally would've preferred more development from an exhausted Kari and you can't help but feel like this was just a deleted scene twisted into a short animation. Whilst it does require you to have seen 'The Incredibles' previously, it's equally hilarious and balances a few memorable lines with silly visual fun.

Pixar have created a short film called Jack Jack attack, this is a follow up of the 2004 movie 'The Incredibles'. It is about an unfortunate babysitter, Kari, who is hired to care for a child that has no super-powers unlike his parents and his other siblings. Kari is left at the mercy of the child when she discovers the truth, Jack Jack can teleport, float, go through walls and shoot laser beams from his eyes, but best of all, he can turn into flames. The Short had great animation and was well constructed. I think all kids would love to watch this film as well as the original Incredibles. Even though this short was not included into the original film, there was a scene where Helen (jack jacks Mother) got hold of the messages that Kari left. This film is very entertaining because it gives more of an understanding of what really happened when the Parr family was off saving the world. The creators have done a great job in the humor that they added into both the film and the short, this humor works well when it comes to the characters and how they are portrayed whilst they are fighting evil super villains.~J~

Jack-Jack Attack is an other brilliant short film by Pixar. It is a follow on from the award win film "The Incredibles", and just as good as the full film. The story line is excellent, with an unexpected ending. It follows the story of a young girl, who is being investigated, who was set the task of babysitting the baby of the Incredibles family. The baby has shown no signs of superpowers before this time, unlike his parents and siblings. The baby showed no signs of super powers when the mother checks in, but the phone goes mysteriously dead when the problems start to happen. The boy develops his powers when the girl is trying to educate him. He flies through walls, disappears and catches on fire. This is enough to drive the girl insane, and when so mysterious guy turns up at the door she imminently thinks he is a replacement, and gives the baby straight to him. The short is targeted at the same audience at the main film, little children, but is interesting and well done enough for adults to be interested. The animation of the short is very well done, almost lifelike, and captivates you. In the end it is just another amazing animation by Pixar. Brilliant story line and captivating animation.

The short film Jack-Jack Attack is a fill in film that adds extra detail to the major motion picture The Incredibles. It provides an extra viewpoint of what was happening back in the house during the events of the movie. The short film focuses on how Kari (the babysitter) deals with having to babysit Jack-Jack who is discovering his powers. This short film was originally a deleted scene that was cut from the major movie but the animators saw potential in it and decided to lengthen it and add it as a short film during the DVD release.The film in itself is very well made. The developers obviously spent allot of time working on this film and it shows. The animation is very well done and throughout the film there are hints and nods to the events of the major film. It is also directly linked to the major film though a series of phone calls which are shown in both films from different viewpoints. The short film itself has a simple storyline. Everything starts off fine until Kari plays a Mozart CD. After this point in the film Jack-Jack seems to unlock his powers, possibly because of the 'neurological stimulation' Kari believes Mozart's music to bring. From this point on the films shows Kari trying to catch Jack-Jack and cope with his powers, usually with hilarious consequences.In summary, Jack-Jack Attack is a great short film. Its combination of great animation, creative storyline, and its various jokes and funny moments, help to make it both enjoyable and entertaining. Its constant references to the major film The Incredibles, which are woven in seamlessly to the storyline, makes you want to watch the major motion picture all over again. The combination of all these feature of the short film help to make it one of the best shorts Pixar have created and is a must see for those who love a good laugh and some quality entertainment.
