Another thing that was mentioned in the directors commentary: the first shot with the interviews with each hero describing themselves, was ultimately wrong. Frozone saw himself as a ladies man and scoffed at settling down, but he did eventually. Mr.Incredible said he would love to settle down, but he had a hard time adjusting, and ElastiGirl said she was a strong woman who didn't think she would ever settle down, but she fit right in her family and was happy settling down.

I've always loved the fact that Elastigirl isn't just a former hero. She's a pilot (and I guess all-around stunt driver in the sequel) but it's this whole other part of her life that isn't explicitly connected to the hero theme - just fleshing her out as a character with interests. There are a ton of ways she could have gotten herself to that island, but it's fun seeing her use a skill she clearly was super involved with at one point. Also a nice contrast to her husband, who feels like a nobody without being a hero, while she has "grounded" interests that don't rely on having powers.

On a recent rewatch, Bob has a lot of these skills, too. I always remembered him as just being "super strength" but across the film we see him being clever, technologically proficient (his Bond car and the computer stuff he does on the island), surprisingly acrobatic, precise (both catching the suicide jumper and hitting a guard with a rock from a long distance) and quickly able to make plans on the spot. I'm due to rewatch Incredibles 2, which if I recall correctly leaned more on Elastigirl's non-super abilities, but watching this movie with a new eye it looked like Bob AND Helen had a wide variety of skills outside their powers.

[@TravisBroski]

Missed Win: When Syndrome was looking back at Mr Incredible telling him to “fly home”, he only saw Mr Incredible instead of both him and Bomb Voyage. Meaning that’s entirely what he focused on and putting more emphasis on how hard those words crushed him.

[@TheMusicInMe43]

Also Mr. Incredible never said "Go home Buddy, I work alone." when it first happened. Bob was telling Buddy it was DANGEROUS. It was like Buddy thought Mr. Incredible wanted to glory for HIMSELF (which is what Syndrome wanted), instead of just being concerned a literal child is around a guy trying to blow up a building and would kill him.

[@demi-femme4821]

Rather than the fact that Buddy almost got exploded by Bomb Voyage, allowing the latter to escape. Bob was right to not let Buddy tag along. He would probably have gotten himself killed.

[@matthewallen445]

​@TheMusicInMe43 Technically, the first time he says it, he says, "Go home, Buddy. Now." The second time he does, he says, "Fly home, Buddy. I work alone." When he says it the second time at the beginning of the movie, he's holding Bomb Voyage. Later, when we see it from Syndrome's perspective, Mr. Incredible is just looking straight down at Buddy.

“I can totally handle anything this baby can dish out” “They actually made a short film to disprove exactly that” Actually, that short proves the opposite, she CAN handle is, and does so wonderfully, but at the cost of her sanity and the house.

9:22 - Gonna have to disagree with you on that one. If anything, Jack-Jack Attack proved that she _absolutely could_ handle anything even a super-baby could dish out. Sure, it did a number on her nerves and possibly sanity, but Kari stayed awake overnight well into the next day, improvising countermeasures on the fly to an 'exploding baby' who was constantly surprising her with new superpowers. Seriously, go take a close look at her last scene with Jack-Jack; among other things, she's sitting there supervising him with a butterfly net, a mirror (which she whips out with split-second reflexes while struggling with exhaustion), a fire extinguisher, a chainsaw, and _a grappling hook with rope_ all at arm's reach. And this was after trying and failing to secure him by tethering him to one of Mr. Incredible's weights!

Not to mention Jason Todd never inserted himself into Bruce’s life, he was actively taken in and allowed to be Robin but he overall was happy to be Bruce’s son, Robin or no Robin. Tim Drake meanwhile inserted himself into the role of Robin for admittedly selfless reasons since Batman was spiralling after Jason’s death and needed a partner, and Dick had already refused to return to the role.

Mandela effect

[@MoonKent]

I like the fact that the interviews at the beginning have the characters stating one thing, but it turns out that they actually want something different. Elastigirl says she has no interest in settling down and quitting being a hero, but she's the one who's quite comfortable being a stay-at-home mom later. Mr. Incredible says he'd love it if he didn't always have to save people, but when faced with the forced inactivity of retirement, he can't cope. Frozone is more interested in the superhero-side of people, but later he's settled down with a non-superhero wife (granted this only implied, but it seems a valid assumption). It's an interesting contrast that shows how the characters do or don't mature, and also how their desires change when faced with different circumstances.

[@mirandacole314]

The scene with Dash cornered in the tunnel is SO well written. They introduce a new ability (i.e. running on water), incorporate it into a longer scene so that you sort of forget about it, and then REMOVE the ability in a way that actually solves the problem it created. It's obvious in retrospect, but no one involved in the scene expects it at all, and why should they? In the heat of the fight, everything is behaving the same way it does on land, so your brain sort of removes the water from the equation until it's suddenly of vital importance again.

[@Domura]

Unfortunate issue that it relies more on cartoon physics by that point, since Dash would have almost certainly sank when he had to stop and turn around.

@@Domura Yep. And it's doubly irritating because it would have worked just as well the realistic way. He'd just go under instead of turning, and then boom.

Actually, if you think about it, one of the reasons is because the water has actually a good amount of density, along with the fact that Dash's weight isn't felt when running at such a high speed. After he stops running on the water, then his weight immediately pulls him down.

[@persephonehades7547]

One thing you missed was how Violet got knocked out by the machine because it broke her force field. This actually shows that while some powers are just physical attributes, like Dash's ability to be quick and Elastigirl's ability to stretch, some people have powers that are mental attributes.

Right I noticed that too. The explosion debris that hit her force field in the scene after Syndrome got pulled into the engine didn't destroy it. And that came from the sky, while the machile lifted a couple feet from the ground before it came crashing down to burst her force field. The fear on Violet's face proves that even if the machine wasn't high enough to create the velocity it'd need to burst the force field, Violet has to have the confidence to strengthen the force field and keep it intact. I'm sorry if that's too much to take in.

I agree, but too that point: Why was she in on it? I'm assuming Syndrome was paying her pretty handsomely, or maybe she was one of his major contributors finance wise and decided to get really involved? Who knows, it's never discussed.

When they went to talk to Dash’s principal, Jack Jack wasn’t with them. When they go back to the car, Jack Jack is there. They left Jack Jack, an infant, alone in the car.

Ha! Way worse than the front facing car seat. Fortunately, we know he can't overheat. Sheesh, dark stuff. Apparently, Brad Bird kept coming up with powers for Jack-Jack that would be a response to scary things that injure babies all the time.

[@LikeTheBuffalo]

The scene with Helen flying the jet and having to switch back and forth from being a pilot to being a mother is because the scene was originally written with Helen's friend Snug (the one she was speaking to on the phone) doing the actual flying. The scene was even drawn out in animatic so you can see it on the extras, but it was re-written to have Helen flying because the scene concludes with Snug's heavily implied death. Helen would have been in the main cabin with her kids, and when the missiles hit she wouldn't have been able to extend herself over him as well. This was thought to be just a liiiiiiiiiiittle too dark, so instead it was changed to remove Snug from the scenario altogether.

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

It also makes it more badass that Helen's actress made damn sure to learn all that pilot lingo to get that scene done right. And holy cow, did she ever.

Edna probably hates capes because all those superheroes she list that died by capes were probably designed by her, and she feels guilt knowing her designs caused their deaths, that's why in the scene where mister incredible says he wants a cape and she snaps at him, it shows a close up of her face looking ferious as she starts taking notes again.

Missed win to me anyway. When Ellen is flying the plane with children onboard and the missiles are fired and she makes it apparent that there are children on the plane. Mirage can bee seen with a look on her face debating whether or not to disarm the missiles because there are children on the plane. You can see her fighting with helping syndrome defeat Mr. Incredible's apparent ally or not killing children. Absolutely amazing animation from the animators. Sorry this was so long. 😀

[@thisis_minoo]

I ALWAYS get goosebumps when Helen shouts in horror in that plane scene. It's just amazing how they done this scene so great.

[@Tazzykiki]

I love all the little details in this movie: -The way the hair frizzes and is sometimes out of place. -The little human movements and interactions that help define the character. -The blades on the flying machines that are most likely meant for intimidation and cutting through the thick jungle. -Dash's line in which he counteracts Helen's line saying how everyone is special and then having that foreshadow Syndrome's plan to make everyone 'special' so no one is. -Also the fact that, Bob, the big strong one isn't a complete idiot. He is just easily distracted, but he is also clever and quick-thinking.

[@darkmaterial499]

One thing I like about the flying saucer things is that the blades serve so many purposes. They seem to be it's main propulsion and steering mechanism, yet they also, as you said, are used to cut through the jungle they were designed to be used in, and also serve as an effective weapon. They're just really cool, overall.

The prologue sequence is amazing because it hits all the stereotypical “superhero tropes” in a few minutes - saving a cat from a tree, stopping a train, halting a bank robbery, etc. Then the rest of the movie subverts the common expectations of superheroes stories. This movie is the best

[@mycroft16]

The amount of actual film making talent on display in this film is staggering. It is animated like a real film is shot. Same composition many times, angles, use of camera, sound, etc. This took typical animated films and elevated it to actual cinema. Plus, because it is animated, you get to do crazy things you can't in a real movie, like falling to the tree with Bob, or the chase with Dash, etc. But because of how real the rest of it has felt, EVERYTHING feels real. And thanks for putting into words what I've always been unable to about the scene in the plane with Helen and the kids. That moment she switches to Elastigirl and you feel the terror. Other Pixar films have had intense moments etc, but up to this one, I can't think of any that put its characters into such intense, real, danger.

[@psicopato2460]

The best part is that the powers are belivable without being toned down, like in the MCU where they make the characters weaker from how they are in the comics.

[@The_Lazy_Mage]

The more I think about it Edna is probably one of the biggest heroes in this universe, not only does she make the iconic suits, but she takes into account the super's powers and in some cases she even uses her suits to improve the hero's powers. Like when she made Elastigirl's suit indestructible so she could save herself and her kids when those missiles hit them. She also pointed out the big problem with capes, an idea/criticism that I was actually introduced to by that scene. She really is one of the best unsung heroes.

[@myplateisempty.4292]

I think one of my favourite scenes from this movie is when Dash runs on water.... What really makes it stand out is that the background music completely cuts as Dash, the viewers and the music was holding their breath because we all were waiting for impact or to drown...... But it never happens and Dash's laugh after realizing that he could run on water was just euphoric. Thank you for giving multiple well deserving wins for that scene alone.

Missed win: In a commentary, Brad Bird talked about how Holly Hunter insisted on learning the lingo Helen used when the plane they used to rescue Bob was being chased by missiles which gives us a glimpse of Helen's military flight training. - VFR on top means she is flying in the regime of Visual Flight Rules on top of a cloud cover. - Her request for the "vectors to the initial" means she's requesting directions for landing on Nomanisan. - "Buddy-spiked" is a US military term which means an anti-aircraft radar has locked on (my aircraft), please do not shoot. - "Transmitting on the blind guard" is a call to (any) emergency frequency which has not yet been established. - Angels 10 altitude call is a military term meaning 10 thousand feet. Civilian flights use flight levels. - "Abort" is also a military code/directive meaning "stop the attack/mission - Also, Helen's call sign, India Golf Niner Niner is IG99 in the NATO phonetic alphabet. "IG" is a nod to Iron Giant also directed by Brad Bird, which was released on 1999.

[@Elesario]

In the special features they reveal that originally the pilot was going to be an old acquaintance of Helen's, the guy you see in the picture frame when she calls in the favour to get the plane, and he wasn't going to survive the explosion when she rescues the kids. That's why she looks down at the sinking fuselage after they land in the way she does. They changed the scene and Holly Hunter was called back to do the new lines, which the OP so very kindly explained.

[@4lienat]

14 years and I’m still learning new things about this movie

[@Montesama314]

There are AT LEAST two things I love the most from this movie: 1) Elastigirl's journey to and through Nomanisan Island, as she both exercises her powers in awesome ways while also shows the concerns and care of an experienced middle-age mom (we got a lot more Elastigirl in Incredibles 2, so yay for me). 2) Dash's little laugh as he realizes just how INCREDIBLE his power really is. Super speed is one of my favorite superpowers, and Dash enjoys it too.

[@caitlindunbar6697]

I totally agree. Elastigirl proves to be awesome in both movies. Being a daughter who looks up to her Mum as a tough and pretty badass woman, watching Elastigirl be professionally sneaky and realistic in protecting her kids by preparing them to be careful with the bad guys and then seeing her more in Incredibles 2 as a full James Bond / MCU kind of hero, using her intelligence and professional superhero-ing to figure out the villain and being a role model for younger heroes, such as Void is so amazing and I love Helen so much and was so glad they made her the sole ‘hero’ of Incredibles 2. Additionally, I loved how Violet took on her mother in that she was the one leading Dash and using her intelligence to help find their parents (plus Lucius) and stop the boat is awesome and while I looked up to Helen, I related so well with Violet in that her way of ‘superhero-ing’ is genetic or subconsciously learnt from her Mother.

When you do Incredibles 2 something I noticed in it was that no one noticed Jack Jack’s powers. I thought “why is this such a surprise? The babysitter was talking about it and they saw him use them on Syndrome.” Then I noticed that the babysitter was just freaking out and never specifically said anything about powers, just weird stuff. And with Syndrome they just saw him freaking out and couldn’t see Jack Jack. And when he was dropped he was back to his normal self. I’m glad they kept that continuity in the sequel.

[@LuminousArc92]

I disagree, that's one issue I found with The Incredibles 2 continuity. That the 3 months that pass between the Syndrome thing and Underminer had Jack-Jack never once using his powers which had developed during that time? And Kari gave her report to DIcker that Jack-Jack was using powers and this never got reported to the family? Doesn't really make sense

[@KillerEggFromOuterSpace]

While I agree with both of you, I believe I understand the Jack-Jack issue. In both Incredibles movies (except for the ending of 2), Jack-Jack uses his powers as a result of his MOM not being around. Throughout the movie, he keeps asking for "mama." It's a common thing for babies to lash out after being removed from familiar imprinted people. Mom and the rest of the family left so Jack lashed out slightly and used his powers on the babysitter to cope. He then did the same thing when he was forcibly removed from his mom by Syndrome. In incredibles 2 as soon as Mom is away for days (something he's not used to), he unleashes his powers on Bob and everyone else that's not mom. As for why he suddenly reveals his powers at the end, my guess is because of Aunt Edna Mode. After that visit, Jack-Jack is semi more intune with the concept of powers and actually didn't use it until he was meant to. ALSO the first time he uses his powers in front of mom is to use telekinesis to SAVE HIS MOM. After that he, used them only to protect his mom. It's still a tad messy but this is simply what I believe. No mom = lashing out/coping with powers, saving mom = lashing out/coping with powers

Cinemasins wearies me too. If I watched too many of their videos, I'd feel the narrator's cynical voice in the back of my head for the rest of the day. I always Favorited the videos they did where sins got taken away and they genuinely, if grudgingly, admitted something was too awesome for them to dunk on, such as the beginning of their Wall-E video, because I was so desperate for positivity from these sarcastic a-holes (said with affection, but whenever their videos start to get to me, I remember their EWW Cinemasins video where the first thing they say is "We're not reviewers, we're assholes." Completely admitting that often, they're just memeing and not meant to be taken seriously).

No, Mirage did. Remember she was watching and when she sees Mr. Incredible burst through the wall, she says she wants to "switch targets". Meaning they were ALREADY tracking Frozone.

My friend and I reached this to prepare for the second one, and something I'd never noticed before are the similarities between Syndrome and Dash. There are a few visual similarities, like their freckles and the shape of their hair, although Syndrome's points up and Dash's points back (and is less obvious and dramatic), but what stood out was the repeated line along the lines of "If everyone is special, no one is". Dash has a lot of similar opinions to Syndrome, and his wanting to join the school sports teams is comparable to Bob's rejection of 'Incrediboy'. They're mirrors of each other, but in Dash we see the difference of a loving, supportive family and his eventual inclusion in the track team. They each show what the other could be under different circumstances, and I think this makes Syndrome a more relatable villain.

It's suprisng how much that despite this movie coming out in 2004, the animation still really holds up! Seriously, it's been over eighteen years, that's impressive!

[@25011990rockstar]

Can't believe you didn't add more wins for the elastic girl scene where she gets stuck between doors and eventually beat up the guards. Even CinemaSins removed a couple sins for that scene.(11:15)

[@evilallensmithee]

25011990rockstar fair point, but I think wins has less love violence, not hatred just less.

[@craigkdillon]

One more Incredible thing --- The Fantastic Four, X-Men, and other super hero groups ALWAYS behave individually, never as a team. The Incredibles are the first where they combine their powers to do something. For instance, Violet creates a force field around herself and Dash, so Dash then runs inside of it moving them together and protected. Or, when after they land in the sea, Elastigirl mom shapes herself like a boat, and Dash becomes the motor. That sort of tool combinations I don't see in other super groups. The Incredibles are really the first Super Team, the others are just Super Groups.

[@jaycubz1307]

While I understand what you mean, I'd have to respectfully disagree. The X-Men, Fantastic Four, Avengers, and Justice League have plenty of moments of working together and combining their powers.

[@Justanotherconsumer]

If you watch the wins counter for The Avengers, “teamwork” gets winned a couple of times. It’s common enough that, like honesty, it’s a standard “win” to the point of being a catch phrase of the CinemaWins show. It’s always good to see, but it’s not by any means unique.

[@garyhall2770]

Except Helen saying "throw me" is an X-Men move where Colosuss throws Wolverine. It's called a fastball special.

[@HaganeNoGijutsushi]

Nah, this is wrong. The Fantastic Four are a big inspiration for the Incredibles in the whole 'being a family' department. I'm also pretty sure they must have coordinated powers sometimes, though I can't remember specific examples. The X-Men have a combo that's so famous the name is often used for similar moves: the Fastball Special, where Colossus throws Wolverine at a big/distant enemy. Though if you ask me, the most amazing example of superpower team coordination in all fiction isn't even in a superhero story, it's the Strawhats vs. Oars fight in One Piece, with nine characters with incredibly different power sets coordinating in the most ridiculous ways for attacks on a massive scale.

Also love the tiny detail when Helen catches JackJack at the end. Whenever a superhero catches a falling person, it should still kill them because of the momentum, but notice a split second detail, she stretches out to catch him with her hands then slows him as she pulls him to her chest. They really went all out on the details for this one didnt they

19:59 they said on the director's commentary (and I think the bonus features as well) that the hand going through the fabric was one of the most hardest shots in the film, taking three months. Three. To make that hand go through the fabric. Also, people, watch Jack Jack Attack. It plays into the second movie.

Cloth simulation is one of the most frustrating things ever. Even with today's computers. It never turns out the way you wanted, and if you had to do it well by hand, you'd probably die of old age.

I was re-watching this video, and I thought of a few things I wanted to point out. Extra wins, I guess. 2:50 - Bob's office space parallels his mental state and the way that his life is going. He literally doesn't fit in, since you can see that he has to squeeze through the opening of his cubicle, and everything is too small for him. He has even less space than the other office workers, because most of the space is occupied by a column (representation of strength) and electric line (representation of power). Bob's whole life is just like that, where he feels he can't function as a normal person because his strength and superpowers take up so much space in his mind, and make up who he really is. Also, compare that to how his new employer, Syndrome, has Bob sit in a room next to a wall of lava. In Bob's office at Insuricare, the power line is both underplayed and boring, as well as a nuisance. But in Syndrome's "office" of sorts, the power source is on full display, open, and appealing. That's exactly how Bob feels about his own powers. Pixar has been showing us the insides of characters' heads long before Inside Out. 8:27 - I think that Syndrome's reference to Kronos is less about being the father of gods, and more about the fact that Kronos was a Titan, one of the forerunners of the gods, and also that Kronos attempted to defeat the gods (by eating them, apparently... the myth is weird). Syndrome is like Kronos because he works to defeat the nearest things to gods that are around him, the supers. 10:31 - I think it's worth pointing out that when the people at Pixar were making this movie, they deliberately gave the characters powers that were reflective of their personalities and roles within their families. (i.e., Mr. Incredible is strong, because fathers are usually seen as strong; Elastigirl is stretchy, because mothers are often pulled in a lot of directions, and need to be adaptable - flexible - to almost anything; Violet can become invisible, because teenagers often want to hide, and she can create force fields, because teenagers often want to push people away; etc.) When Helen protects her children like that, that seems to be the moment when she harmonizes being Elastigirl and being a mother. She is saving people, the way she did as a superhero, but that way that she wraps around her children to protect them is one of the most motherly actions possible. I think this is the moment where she realizes that her past life and her present life aren't mutually exclusive, and that she needs to be both a superhero and a mom (which, let's be honest, is the real superhero job in real life). 14:09 - You could place that exact dialogue into a scene of a wife about to give birth, and it would be totally appropriate. (Of course, as some people have joked, Elastigirl probably had a relatively easy time with childbirth. For obvious reasons.)

@@Y20XTongvaLand She should have an easy time if we compare to others because of her Power. The pains come partly by the fact that a baby is bigger than... You know what I Mean. Also, I'm french, Tired and not sure about the English term.... But since Elastigirl is.... Elastic, yeah, her own body could "distord" to let the baby "out" without having to actually Push. But let's be honest, there's a lot of factor for Pain in a Childbirth, and even if an Elastic body could solve some, some other would still cause trouble. I guess... I'm like the worst person to ask about it....
