This Pixar short is basically the "missing imagery" needed to fill in the blanks of the moments in the movie where the babysitter discovers Jack-Jack's powers. It's humorous and all, but its lack of fully rounded plot makes it only extra bonus material for The Incredibles.
Is this a problem? Well one of the strengths about the whole situation is that when watching The Incredibles, the audience doesn't know what Kari is experiencing with the baby. His surprise powers at the end with Syndrome are thus even funnier, and then after the movie is over it makes for interesting discussion on "What DID happen with Kari, then?" The imagination runs wild...
But instead of leaving it to the imagination, we just get this... so yeah, that's kind of disappointing overall. It's a well-done animation, it just is unnecessary and kind of ruins the opportunity the movie had.
Oh well, it provides a good excuse to charge over 20 bucks on the Incredibles DVD for all the "extra bonus features of happiness", so what can I say? --PolarisDiB
