Five family members generated $70.7 million this weekend in America.

Can you imagine?

But then again, the Parrs are not just "on par" -- they are superheroes.

Pixar Animation Studio's story of the Parrs called The Incredibles opened nationwide on Friday, November 5, 2004.

The new feature film is Pixar's sixth release after the Academy-award-winning, Toy Story ('95), Monster's Inc. ('01), and Finding Nemo ('03), the Golden-Globe winning, Toy Story 2 ('99) and It's A Bug's Life ('98).

The animated film about superheroes is the next-to-last feature on which Pixar and Walt Disney Co. will collaborate.

Saturday's $29.4 million was the single highest day tally for Disney.

If numbers hold on Monday, when final figures are released, The Incredibles would have the second-best opening weekend among animated films, coming in just ahead of Pixar's 2003 blockbuster Finding Nemo, which debuted with $70.3 million.

Shrek 2 holds the animated debut record with $108 million.

Separate from Pixar / Disney / Buena Vista's box office success, on Saturday, October 23rd, Pixar helped raise almost $1 million for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and stem cell research. The advance screening of The Incredibles and auction donors drew JDRF supporters to Emeryville where Pixar Animation Studios is based. It is also home to Pixar founding member and EVP of creative, John Lasseter. One of Lasseter's five sons, Sam, was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in October 2001.

Diabetes affects more than 18 million Americans and shortens life spans by 15 years on average.

Thank you Pixar for creating a family of superheroes for the world and for being a superhero to all those families who have kids with Type 1 Diabetes.

Inspire & Be Inspired (R).

Here's to healthy, adventuresome, soulful and record-breaking living!
