Release

To promote the film and tourism and Hong Kong, a 3D animated film showing the two lead actors from the film was released.[1] Mr. & Mrs. Incredible was set to open in Australia, China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, New Zealand and Singapore on 2 February 2011.[2] It was released on 3 February 2011 in China and Hong Kong.[3][4]

FUNimation Entertainment released the film in the United States in autumn (September/October) of 2012 on DVD under the name Incredibly Ever After.[5]

Mr. & Mrs. Incredible grossed $630,199 on its opening week in Hong Kong and placed fifth in its weekend box office and has since grossed a total of $1,032,487.[6]

Reception

Film Business Asia gave the film a five out of ten rating, stating "the comedy is not sustained enough, or broad enough, to inspire real laughs rather than just smiles, and the action is largely crammed into the final 15 minutes with the sudden appearance of a plot and a super-villain."[4] Variety gave the film a positive review, praising the script and comparing the two leads to William Powell and Myrna Loy.[7] The Special Broadcasting Service gave the film three stars out of five, finding that the film "delivers the crowd-pleasing goods in its own eccentric way." but lacked comic subtlety.[8] The review also compared the film to The Incredibles stating that the "greatest superhuman feat is avoiding a court date with the suits at Pixar – the shameless similarities to The Incredibles (2004) are there for all to see."[8]

gollark: Another issue with voting as a system for dealing with politicians doing stupid things is that it's very slow.
gollark: As a vegetarian, I disagree.
gollark: I'm subscribed to a service which sends me emails about what my local MP (I think the approximate US equivalent is a senator?) does, but it turns out it's actually very boring and I have no idea if they're doing a good job.
gollark: In theory voters should do that, but it's hard to actually *check* if your politician did stupid things, and it is NOT very granular.
gollark: It would probably be good if there was some mechanism for punishing politicians who spend money on things which turned out to be bad/stupid/pointless. Although someone would have to evaluate bad/stupid/pointlessness somehow.
