I thought 'Incredibles 2' was more than ninety percent as good as the first. But the first one was SO good on SO many levels, it's actually surprising that it came near to the first in quality. One thing people perhaps overlook about both films, is that in addition to being loads of fun, they're a rare example of films with Conservative values: They highlight the centrality and the elevated status of family life. And, not merely 'found' family, but the good, old-fashioned, classic 'nuclear' family. Helmed by maybe the most talented creator in Hollywood, with a big-studio budget behind it. (Would Disney greenlight the identical film today? Doubtful.) Another great reason to see 'Incredibles 2' is the accompanying short: 'Auntie Edna'. (What happens when baby Jack Jack is dropped off, with Edna as baby sitter? Edna is just aching for what is missing in her life - a challenge! But, is even Edna up for THIS challenge?) :)

I love that this movies is a kids' movie, but is still loaded with big, grown-up thoughts. The fears that hit hardest aren't "being chased by bad guys" but fear for their marriage, fear of irrelevancy, fear of losing friends, family, children, fear of not being good enough, etc. The victories that are sweetest are in the same vein. Kids watching can feel the action, punch the bad guys stuff, but adults with adult anxieties see a whole different movie. Iron Giant (also a Brad Bird film) is great for similar reasons.

[@sammylane21]

The teacher WAS right, Dash did put the tack. We clearly saw him do it in the first shot of the security footage. I'm shocked that teacher didn't turn into the next movie's villain.

[@davidmills8726]

Nah, I heard he got cancer then got fired or something because of a bunch of missing chemistry supplies.

[@petrusjnaude7279]

I've watched this movie so many times that I can quote whole scenes verbatim. Great reaction. The woman who designs the suits for the superheroes is voiced by the director, Brad Bird.

[@36melodyproduction]

Hi, great reaction as usual ! Edna's voice is actually the director, Brad Bird, with a very weird accent.

[@markwarner5554]

So, incredibles 2 picks up directly where this one ends in the scene with The Underminer.

[@KS-xk2so]

Fantastic Four is often referred to as the "first family" as they were the first ever "team" of superheroes that Marvel published. I assume that's why they were the template for The Incredibles.... its a really good proxy for sure, though its not dead on. Elastigirl is a dead ringer for Mr. Fantastic, and so is Violet for Sue Storm. Heck even Jack-Jack is a solid match for Franklin Richards, but Mr. Incredible really only has the good sides of the Thing's powers... doesn't have to deal with being a rock monster. Dash for Johnny Storm is the biggest stretch... superspeed and fire powers don't really gel at all.

[@jackhole15]

Fun Fact: Both Mr. Incredible and Syndrome's characters are physically modeled after Brad Bird. They're essentially two different caricatures of him.

[@smegmafactory]

Who’s gonna tell George that Sony didn’t have the rights to Fantastic Four? It was Fox and Disney did get the rights back lmao

[@plushxi]

😂 when I heard that, I looked to see the date this was posted and then I tried to find a comment about this. I also went back, heard him say Sony, and I felt like I was in the twilight zone 😭

[@smegmafactory]

@@plushxi yeah I had to rewatch that part like 6 times because my brain couldn’t comprehend it.

[@chairofthebored]

Mr Incredible - Incredible strength Elastigirl - Elastic body Dash - Dashes fast Violet - Manipulates ultraviolet energy Jack Jack - JACK OF All TRADES

[@jrobwoo688]

Simply put, this is a incredible reaction! Also, please watch Clerks.

[@smegmafactory]

I second this. We need the entire View Askewniverse reaction

[@mariacavanaugh1010]

For the Incredibles 2 movie the producers created another short in which Jack Jack spends time with Edna.

[@gchicago9]

pixar moms dont have to be built the way they are but i am grateful

[@davidmeloche3563]

Dash is voiced by the lead guitarist for the band "Charly Bliss". They're fun.

[@migmit]

Bomb Voyage was originaly supposed to be called Bomb Pérignon, but the trademark owners did not allow them to use that pun. Can we appreciate how good Kari is? She is a normal teenager, with no superpowers, and she managed to contain Jack-Jack, counteracting everything he had thrown at her. Total badass.

[@shawnfike2910]

The voice of Edna Mode is Brad Bird, the writer/director

[@JustGrowingUp84]

Incredibles 2 is really good too, even though not as good as this one, for me. In universe, it doesn't take place much later, so Jack-Jack is still a baby - and you will get to see more of his antics! There was a particular scene that had me laughing in tears.

[@jainthorne4136]

Ah yes....the raccoon. That always makes me laugh so much.

[@JustGrowingUp84]

@@jainthorne4136 Indeed!

[@gotz1516]

Love this film so much! It's definitely a top favorite of mine growing up. I was 7 or 8 when this film released, and I remember seeing it with my grandmother in theaters. Good times

[@johnmavroudis2054]

Pixar is ALWAYS great... you should next hit one of two masterpieces: "INSIDE OUT" (you will ADORE this one!) and "UP" (another great one with all the feels and laughs). LOVE the channel! Cheers!

[@k9commander]

Not 'always'. There are a handful of their movies that are average to bad. Although, they are probably the only studio that can make such a claim. MOST of their movies are amazing and highly recommended.

[@blackpaw29]

Ah man, the first few minutes of Up...

[@evanwarped5870]

"... and babies are useless." Bahahahahaha. Best quote so far.

[@FlickFreaks]

Incredibles 2 IMO is even better than the first.

[@dairyproducts2775]

Don’t do drugs kids!!!

[@bicboyjoy]

The director, Brad Bird, actually did the voice of Edna Mode. He did her voice for storyboarding and then they just could not find an actor that could do it better than he could.

[@JebWCManning]

If you want to see more of the Baby's powers, definitely watch the sequel

[@cripstick4336]

no don't it's not worth it, all it does is spoil the first for you

[@JebWCManning]

@@cripstick4336 Actually I like the second one more than the first

[@seantlewis376]

This is one of my favorite movies of ALL TIME! Your reaction is just perfect, glorious.

[@seantlewis376]

NO CAPES!

[@fuzzy__dunlop]

Good movie, but it's no Android Night Punch.

[@donaldseale2700]

My only issue with this movie is the Robots weakness at the end. A big part of the plot was how it would upgrade with every version, but it retained the same exact weakness that took it out previously.

[@marisco2969]

I love the theory that Edna made Syndrome's costume but made it have a cape because they always bring about the person's downfall

[@18Rada89]

He invented and designed everything but stopped at the costume? He also had a cape as a kid too

[@mevb]

The old guys who says "You see that? That's old school!" "Yup! No school's like the old school." are caricatures of two of Disney's NIne Old Men (the legendary animators of Walt Disney Animation) Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston, they're even voiced by them. They have been in touch with Brad Bird since he was a kid (he wo an animation contest at the age of 12 and got to meet the Disney animators including another Nine Old Man Milt Kahl, who became sort a mentor to him, nice but "tough", meaning he would would not shy from telling him what his short-comings in animating was, giving him constructive critism) and he'd show storyreels while working on both this movie and Iron Giant, giving him advice on how to improve the story. Sadly, Frank Thomas passed away a couple of months before the release of the film, so he didn't get to see the finished film in life. They also cameod in The Iton Giant as train eningeers.

[@NathanJasper]

As good as this one is, part 2 is even better

[@smegmafactory]

Meh mid villain, mid story

[@cripstick4336]

yeah the second sucks man what are you on about

[@dairyproducts2775]

I’m sorry but WHAT?! 💀💀💀💀

[@alexroxhissox]

Not even close.

[@conormurphy4328]

Not comparable

[@MrGodsins]

George : the baby doesnt do anything.. Jack-Jack : Hold my choo-choo train...
