(DVD, Walt Disney)
A typical suburban family turns out to be ex-superheroes who have been relocated and given new identities. The father is going through a middle age crisis at his boring insurance job. He pines for the old days and moonlights with another ex-superhero responding to calls on the police radio. When he loses his job, he takes a job destroying a robot on a remote island, but does not tell his family. More jobs follow, and eventually his wife discovers what he is doing. She and the rest of the family are pressed into superhero mode to save him when he is kidnapped by a disgruntled fan with delusions of grandeur. It's a decidedly mature plot for an animated superhero movie, but too often falls into the loud, brash action scenes so typical of the genre.
