The short film titled Jack-Jack Attack is centred around the baby of the Parrs family, Jack-Jack, and all the chaos and havoc he causes while being babysat. While this scene was originally meant to be included in its feature length component, The Incredibles, this hilarious and exciting plot along with its amazing graphics and life-like execution, Jack-Jack Attack has the ability to stand out on it's own. His awkward but confident babysitter, Kari, starts the situation on a high note, brushing off his mother and taking things into her own, educated hands. While Kari breaks out the flash cards and the brain stimulating play toys, Jack-Jack experiments with his unique gift whilst turning Kari's night up-side down. Kari has many failed attempts at trying to contact Jack-Jack's mother and is left to control the situation herself. Still not understanding why Jack-Jack harbours superpowers, Kari's up-beat attitude and patience wears thin. Jack-Jack single handedly destroys the house by igniting himself on fire, passing through walls and vanishing and reappearing in different spots around the house before Kari's very eyes. The animation is hilarious and succeeds in finding the balance between exciting and predictable. This film brings back memories and makes you want to see The Incredibles again. I congratulate Pixar and Walt Disney on another amazing short film and give it a well deserved 9/10.

Jack-Jack attack is a Disney animated short, aimed at children at the age of 5-12 years old. It is an animated clip, which involves a teenager babysitting a very elusive baby with super-powers. Characters in the film include Jack-Jack, Jack-Jacks babysitter, Syndrome and a few more. The short clip begins with the babysitter being interrogated by an unknown man. She seems very fidgety and spastic. She talks of the various events which occurred during her babysitting period. Jack-Jack is believed to have no powers like his siblings and parents, but this is obviously not true as he shows the ability to pass through walls and turn into fireballs. All in all, Jack-Jack attack brings excitement and tension, and it would be extremely hard to, due to the short period it is shot. It is a great clip to watch after watching The Incredibles, as it provides more background on what happened to Jack-Jack while the family were saving the family.

The short film by Pixar and Walt Disney 'Jack-Jack Attack' is an extremely entertaining extra from the movie 'The Incredibles'. The story is about Kari, an enthusiastic babysitter, who babysits a hyperactive baby with superpowers, called Jack-Jack.Kari the babysitter has no idea what she's in for when she agrees to babysit young Jack-Jack. At the beginning, Jack-Jack appears to be just an average kid, but when Kari starts attempting to show the baby flash- cards, he disappears. This leads to Kari chasing Jack-Jack around the house, trying to catch him. While she's chasing him, his other super- powers are also revealed- he can burst into flames and shoot electricity from his hands. In the end, the babysitter is exhausted, and just watches Jack-Jack, with a fire extinguisher in her hands.Jack-Jack Attack is fictional, and aimed at young children, although parents would probably enjoy it too, as it is very well made and funny. The use of well-made animations, funny and mostly believable characters and an interesting plot create possibly one of Pixar's best short films. All in all, the short film was in my opinion very good, and made me want to see 'The Incredibles' again.

Jack-Jack Attack is a short film created by Pixar, set during the events of the successful Incredibles. It was an enjoyable experience to see this film, and it encouraged me to watch the Incredibles again. I enjoyed this film because Pixar managed to crumple humour, intrigue and action into less than five minutes, reminding me of why I liked the original in the first place.Here is a more in depth discussion in why this short is such a hit. This film is so enjoyable because it managed to do what the original did in less than five minutes. The Incredibles was great as it had action, humour and intrigue all at the same time. Also, it was very broad; therefore people of many ages and both genders could watch this movie and appreciate it. This short film also has an appealing style of telling the story (it is set in an interrogation room while Kari the babysitter tells the incredible story of the day she babysat Jack-Jack, the baby with super powers). Another appealing aspect of this short is its curious and funny plot, which reminds the viewer of why the Incredibles so good. This aspect of the film will encourage viewers to watch the original film once more, and make newcomers feel curious and watch the original for the first time.I think Pixar's decision to delete this scene from the movie and include it in the Pixar Short Films,was an intelligent one, as it will encourage more people to view the film.In conclusion, this short film is a hit and will be appreciated by many audiences due to its broadness. And to add to that, it will encourage newcomers to watch it too.
