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.
