In the Oscar-winning 3D-animation The Incredibles, out on DVD this week, not even super heroes are immune to the long-term effects of domestic doldrums. Mr. Incredible is forced to assume a civilian identity after he saves the life of man, who in turn, sues the caped one for botching his suicide attempt. Fifteen years later, the once-fit indestructible avenger has traded in his tights and crime-fighting ways for an insurance gig, pushing pencils. But in between raising three ingrates with his wife Elastigirl and watching his mid-life girth expand exponentially, the forces of evil pull him back in.

Along with the main feature, Pixar's two-disc combo includes Incredi-bloopers, deleted scenes, an alternate opening and an all-new animated short "Jack-Jack Attack" - a humorous vignette about what really happened to the wee combustible bairn and his unfortunate babysitter while mom and dad were out saving the world.

If you prefer broken-home Americana to wholesome family fun, you can enjoy River Phoenix at his finest as a narcoleptic hustler with mother issues. The fully-loaded collector's edition of Gus Van Sant's My Own Private Idaho is coming to a video store near you. » Sarah Rowland
