Original Movie: The Incredibles

[Kevin.Costner.]

Pixars 2000’s run was insane, fed our childhood non stop bangers

You know what's even worse about Bob's situation? In the special edition DVD set, there's files on all the superheroes and their powers and for Mr. Incredible it lists that he had a "sixth sense" that lets him sense when and where there's immediate danger (which may or may not be enhanced hearing). It's actually subtly alluded to if you look closely:


- Just before Bomb Voyage appeared, Bob sensed something before the explosion went off.
- Bob sensing someone in the living room with him in the dark after he returned from his night of vigilante work before realizing it was his wife.
- Bob sensing a man being mugged when he's in his boss's office.

Now imagine living 15 years knowing when and where people were in danger or there were criminals around hurting people and not being allowed to do anything about it. It's no wonder Bob was so depressed.

"she has the perfect power to be a mom" when you look at all their powers, it makes a lot of sense. The strong father, the flexible mother, the hyperactive son, and the invisible daughter. All reflections of your average nuclear family.

It takes an active concerted to not start crying every single time the "There are children aboard, say again. THERE ARE CHILDREN ABOARD THIS PLANE." scene crosses my screen. Helen Hunter did an outstanding job at making me feel Mrs. Incredibles lines, even the quick "Throw me, Bob. THROW ME!" when Jack-Jack is falling towards the ground can make my throat close up on me.

I NEVER get tired of the *"Where's my super suit?"* scene!! 🤣🤣🤣

[sharkdentures]

"You got me MONOLOGUEING!!" - one of my favorite meta-lines ever!

Though the OTHER great line, "When EVERYONE is Super. . . .NO ONE will be!", has great social commentary in it.

It really does do great with pulling at the emotions.

Dash running on water was a core moment in my childhood.

Pure Pixar magic.

[dearthofdoohickeys]

18:24 I don’t know why but LOVE the detail of Helen noticing the reflection of the incoming wreckage off the water.

[ViKatamari]

You should 100% check the short-film "Jack-Jack Attack", it shows Jack-Jack developing his powers by the babysitter's POV, it's HILARIOUS

[anotherpersonguy]

Love the playing with tropes:
The super strong dad
The mom stretched for everything
The emo/goth daughter that wants to disappear
The younger brother that is just energetic
And the baby, as babies are bundles of endless potential

The character design of Edna Mode is based on 8-time Oscar winning costume designer Edith Head and voiced by the director Brad Bird.

It's always fun to see stuff you didn't notice on a rewatch. Like when he told Buddy to fly home, he's holding Bomb Voyage. But the way Buddy remembered it, he's not even in the room

[samueldoiron]

The jet scene with elastigirl and the kids is so raw. It feels very realistic to a parent going "protect the kids" mode when a dangerous situation comes up. The facial animations and voice acting really sells how genuinely worried hellen was for her kids lives.

[MrAlyxandyr]

With Edna and her no capes rule; there's a terrifyingly sad undertone that's so easy to miss.

She has every one of their deaths memorized. She's the one making the outfits, and she has every one of their deaths memorized. She MADE their outfits, and has felt so guilty about it that she's been thinking about their deaths, and her part in it, ever since.

No capes; because she refuses to be responsible for another accident like that again.

[migmit]

Holly Hunter, who plays Helen, insisted to have every word she is supposed to say on a radio explained to her. She understood exactly what she was saying — which is, by the way, real pilots' slang. It totally paid off; the scene is intense as hell.

[CgGoil]

I love the scene with the car door. I think everybody knows that feeling when its a crappy day in a crappy week, and something annoying happens, and you first try to breathe through it, but then it happens again and you can feel the tension rise but you keep it inside and try to rise above it, then for it to happen a third time and you just loose it and you break a chair in half or rip off a door handle.

[besupaaa]

This movie gets a little dark when we think about how many super heroes died, the guy trying to 💀 in the beginning, Bob thinking his family was gone... Lots of things I didnt exactly think about when I was a kid.

[vin]

I think it's incredibly poetic that Syndrome gets killed by his cape and in the same exact way as Stratogale, who was only 17 at the time of death, and just like with all the others that died because of their capes Edna felt extreme guilt over it, it's like the thing she hated the most saved the people she loved the most. Plus the fact that all those heroes as well as some that were directly killed by Syndrome, like Gazerbeam, were Bob and Helen's friends (you even see them at their wedding) makes that moment very cathartic in my opinion.

[simonelott]

I love the no capes scene because it does so much for edna's characterization in such a small amount of time. She LOVES supers. She loves her art. And the fact that the latter caused so much death on her hands is so nuanced.

20:56 Helen wasn't aiming JUST for Mirage... Notice Mr. Incredible dodging her fist too 😂
