AREN'T "THEY INCREDIBLES"?

If you happened to read some of my previous posts you may have noticed that I'm quite a fan of comics books, superheroes films and animations.

If you did, you may have also noticed that I'm a fan of the animated movie "The Incredibles", but the video you are going to watch is way too much, so relax and ... enjoy??

Having watched this, only one question remains: what's next?
