Some time ago people may never have expected an Academy Award-winning actress would happily star in an animated film, but if you want to do an animated film, what better way than for Pixar? "The Incredibles" was about a family of superheroes who aren't allowed to be heroes anymore, leading the father Mr. Incredible/Bob (Craig T. Nelson) to have a mid-life crisis, and his long suffering wife Elastigirl/Helen (Hunter herself) to try and keep the family together. Sexy, smart, and a super mom on top of it, Hunter provided the voice of a strong female character for the animated world that doesn't just sit back and let her husband save the day. She's right there next to him! "The Incredibles" received high critical acclaim and is universally beloved. Not bad, Ms. Hunter, now how about a sequel?
