"Jack-Jack Attack" is a 5-minute animated short film and spin-off from Brad Bird's "The Incredibles". I have not seen that one yet, so I cannot talk about any more references. Anyway, Bird is also writer and director for this short film here before he moved on to "Ratatouille" and live action. Early on, we see a babysitter who is interrogated about last night when she had to babysit the Indredibles' youngest. As she tells the officer, we see what happened the night before. It seems she is in for a not too stressful evening and plans on playing some games with the kid to see how talented it is with sticks and stones. But things turn for the (sitter's) worse pretty quickly as the little rascals begins to flash through the house, starts to shoot laser from its eyes and even becomes a fire-baby at one point. In the last shot, the girl gets erased her memory about the incident, probably so that the baby's (or even the entire Incredibles's) super powers stay a secret. The characters and whole animation looks very Pixar. The officer could also have stepped out of the movie "Up" the way he looked. The girl was fun to watch as she stepped into insanity the longer the evening went, but the baby was not too interesting. This Pixar short did not get nominated for an Academy Award and I can see why. Most of their other works are better.
