The Incredibles

I watched this with my kids. It struck me as fairly propagandist. The ideology of the nuclear family, the villain who at one point said he could make everyone superhereos so superhereos would no longer be different.

Its the Ayn Ran school for tots..he socialism will make us uniform and remove the best by making us all better.

Finally the villain is the mole with his giant industrial machinery poised to under mine society.

What next our bearded philosopher posionning the drinks of Mrs Elastica...

Did strike be that Disney is part of an Ideological State Apparatus, subtly forming childhood opinions in a particular direction.

I suppose I am too used to watching the simpsons which subverts capitalism and takes the piss of greens and everyone.

As I often say families should be more like the simpsons and less like the Waltons.
