I can't belive the Incredibles beat Shrek 2 and Shark Tale. I thought both those movies did better commcerially than Incredibles?

I remmeber a doco on Shrek 2 and they were banging on about all the stuff they did technologically as well, they did hair and large crowds and stuff.

There is no doubt that Dreamworks is atleast at par with Pixar as far an animation technology goes. However, The Incredibles had more 'wholesome entertainment' appeal to it, while Shrek 2 and Shark Tale did not. They are almost completely adult oriented.

I myself found The Incredibles enjoyable, but it wasn't anything extraordinary. Infact, I think that the animation was better in Finding Nemo. The Incredibles wasn't exceptionally funny either. Toy Story and Toy Story 2 were better.
