The plane scene is incredible because it actually implies Helen was at some point prior military. She uses correct Naval aviation terminology, and followed all the protocols for the situation she was in. She first started by giving her call sign India Gold Niner Niner or IG99 and requesting an approach vector. She made the tower aware of her presence and asked where she should go to set up for landing. When she got no response she asked again and nothing. When she hears the radar lock alarm and sees the missles she says "IG99 Transmiting in the blind guard, disengage I repeat disengage!" Transmiting in the blind means shes talking to the tower without establishing two way communications. She's telling the tower that she can't hear them, so if they've been giving her orders to turn around or that she was entering restricted airspace, she hasn't been receiving it. Normally this would mean they would stop firing and send an escort plane to escort the Helen away from the airspace or to a safe landing zone. After the second volley of missles she says "IG99 IS BUDDY SPIKED DISENGAGE!" which means "I am a friendly aircraft and I am receiving radar lock from friendly forces, DO NOT FIRE" Everything else she says is also accurate minus a slight mess up with her Mayday call (which I can excuse because she's got freaking missles flying at her)
Syndrome got his name from "hero syndrome", where someone seeks adulation to the degree that they will cause problems just so they can take credit for solving them
I love what they do right in this film. They break a lot of the stereotypes with the supers. Bob is very strong and almost indestructible, but he isn't a meathead. He is very good at what he does, and when he is on the job, very professional, thinks tactically, and uses his powers very intelligently. His wife's powers, on the surface, seem minor by comparison. But she uses them to the utmost in very creative and effective ways. And that she has a lot of other skills, like being an expert pilot and knowledgeable in the types of missiles being launched at them. They were professional heroes and it shows. They were FAR more than their powers. And as for the kids. Dash, has great speed, but he's only nine or ten years old, and has short legs still. His powers aren't developed yet, and he hasn't had a chance to really learn how to use them, because they've had to keep them secret. Same with his sister, which was why she had such a problem putting up a large field in a stressful situation. All in all, I love the realistic portrayal of where each of the family is at, in their lives.
To say nothing of their powers reflecting who they are The "strong dad," the "flexible mom," the "teenager that wants to disappear/keep people away," and the "hyperactive young kid" or however you'd describe dash They're clearly more than their powers but the archetypes are there too And then jack-jack being a "jack of all trades" at so young that his powers haven't fully developed yet
Frozone's location was indeed known, and Frozone _was_ the next target that Syndrome was planning. But, Mirage found Mr. Incredible with him at the alleyway, and once she learned who he was, Syndrome abandoned his plans to go after Frozone and targeted Mr. Incredible instead.
This puts the perspective of the battle Mr. INCREDIBLE had on the Island with the Omnidroid Prototype in much darker light. The Droid was constantly trying to push Mr. Incredible into a LAVA pit, which would have been detrimental to Frozone's Powers.
The two old guys at the end that said "that's old school" and "no school like the old school" were caricatures of veteran Disney animators Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston, who also supplied the voices. Also, The Incredibles was notable for the development of new animation software that simulated hair and cloth. As for Incredibles 2, I found it clever, but not as satisfying as the original. You have definitely seen the better of the two movies.
So each of the powers reflects the characters personalities. Bob is strong because he wants to be depended on. Helen can stretch because she is constantly being pulled in a million different directions as a wife and mother, Frozone has ice powers because he is super chill, Violet is shy and guarded, so she can turn invisible and create forcefields, Dash is a hyper kid and therefore is super fast, Jack-Jack doesn’t have a developed personality yet because he is a baby, and we’ll explore what that means for his power set in the sequel.
GOD I LOVE THIS MOVIE! This is my favorite movie of all time. I can basically quote the entire movie word for word. My favorite moment is the 100 mile dash. When Dash realizes he can run on water, I get such a rush of excitement and it never fails to hype me up. I only wish the scene was longer.
I've always thought that when he grows up, a smart superhero name for Dash might be "Silver Streak", highlighting the discipline he practices if he consistently places 2nd when racing.
Oh, I _like_ that idea! Everyone just thinks that it's because of the fact that all they ever see of him is the shimmering blur as he rushes past but he's actually the one person that gets second every time he races.
The two old men you said had a bigger meaning after the battle with the Omnidroid are Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnson. They were the famous animator duo from Walt’s time that created some of the most famous characters ever. There’s a really good documentary about them called Frank and Ollie. Also highly recommend Incredibles 2 and The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
@Autoskip Nope. I mean the original. It is so good that I think it could have expanded its own story with more details. The fact that it doesn't is disappointing to me, by the end.
@@josiahferrell5022 I believe that is what the sequel tried to do, explore those details. However, being a "direct to DVD" sequel it wasn't able to match the quality of the original and wound up disappointing many who looked forward to it. I personally liked it but I can understand why some people wouldn't.
@@Autoskip kinda like Gremlins. The first movie was pretty great in my opinion, one of my favorites, but Gremlins 2 was just a big cringefest. What it needs is a Halloween-style reboot, where the first movie is kept and considered canon while the new movie is made the official sequel.
One of the reasons Pixar's plots seem to hang together is that they spend so much more time on storyboarding and streamlining. The MCU is able to push out several films a year and is building for long-term arcs that don't require any individual film to shine.
I wanna suggest watching the Pixar animated short "Jack-Jack Attack!", just fills in the babysitting gaps and adds on to the content of the first movie ^^
The two old guys who commented on the climactic battle were cameos of (and voiced by) Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston, the last of Disney's "Nine Old Men" who basically invented the animated film. Thomas and Johnston literally wrote the book on animation - Disney Animation: The Illusion of Life, which is the foundational text of aspiring animators ever since. Brad Bird, who directed The Incredibles, got his start in traditional animation (his previous major work was The Iron Giant) and specifically added the cameos as a token of respect to the men who were so instrumental in his career. John Ratzenberger has been a cornerstone of PIXAR - previously voicing Hamm (Toy Story), P T Flea (A Bug's Life), the Abominable Snowman (Monsters Inc) and the school of moonfish (Finding Nemo) - and is considered to be the studio's good luck charm. But as they were finishing production of The Incredibles, they discovered that they hadn't included Ratzenerger. Rather than risk jinxing the project by his absence, they rushed to produce the scene with The Underminer for the sole purpose of including a speaking role for Ratzenberger.
Brad Bird provided the voice of Edna Mode. He did it for the test track, and then later it was decided that nobody could improve on the character he created. By the way, Syndrome/Buddy was modeled on Bird. He said he didn't realize it until much later when the animators finally fessed up. Also, as much as this is the best superhero movie, it's also the best James Bond movie. In fact, the trailer used the instrumental theme from On Her Majesty's Secret Service. That was before Michael Giacchino wrote his original score, which would be right at home in a Bond film.
I disagree. I think she's a caricature of Esme Young, who is tiny and has the exact same hairdo. She was famous for being one of the "Swanky Modes" of radical British fashion designers of the 1970's. Her resemblance to Young, EdnaEsme, and her name "Mode" are dead giveaways. Google it for yourself.
“No Capes!” Has become a very popular quote since this movie You lucky you can see the sequel right after. We waited 14 years till they finally decided to make a sequel
37:26 that is frank and ollie, two of walt disneys surviving "grumpy old men" original animators from snow white and other disney classics from the walt disney era of animation:) They were tutors of many 80s and 90s animators, including Brad Bird. They also make a cameo in the 2d animated film The Iron Giant, also directed by Brad Bird (although released through warner bros animation) also, tony is NOT superficial, he has noticed violet before, but hasnt been able to know her because she was hiding herself- the hair back is a sign she is no longer hiding herself behind her hair, or her superpowers:)
“If he starts buying her Joni Mitchell CDs, we should be worried.” 😂😂😂 I saw the sequel a few years ago, but I was watching a few kids at the time and didn’t pay much attention to the film itself because I was looking after the little ones. I remember it being good, but I really should give it a proper rewatch. I’ve heard great things about it. There are still a ton of great animated movies for you to sink your teeth into. I still have my absolute favorites…”The Hunchback of a Notre Dame” and then “The Prince of Egypt”, both of which are very dark and more serious takes on topics, but stunning productions and really well done. I don’t know if you’re diving into older animated films or only doing modern ones though. I believe both of those are from the 90s. Maybe “Prince” was early 2000s.
Aside from maybe The Fantastic Four, The Incredibles is the first time we got a superhero family film. Usually, superhero movies always went with the single male or female lead, but this was the first time we got a superhero film that has the family unit as the centric focus (for the most part). And for a Pixar cartoon, it dives into some deep stuff with Bob and his desire to relive the glory days of his youth. It feels great to have a film that celebrates and promotes the family unit. I also love how complex and diverse the characters are in terms of their powers and how they relate to their personalities: - Bob is super strong and has strong skin, which ties into his overconfidence and baldheaded nature, yet very capable. - Helen has super elasticity, which ties into her ability to adapt and be flexible to any situation, including raising a family. - Violet can turn invisible and create force fields, both of which tie into how she's shy and mostly invisible to everyone, yet as she overcomes her shyness and becomes more confident in herself, her ability to create longer force fields becomes stronger. - Dash has superspeed, which ties into his overconfidence (similar to his father), his desire to do and achieve more, and his impatience, yet still a child who is learning. - Jack-Jack has a multitude of powers due to his infant status and uncertainty, which will one day settle on one. - Frozone can form ice from humidity, which ties into his more 'cool' and 'relaxed' nature.
Craig t nelson, the voice of mr incredible, was the star of the 90s sitcom, coach and played the father in the original poltergeist movie. The voice of bobs boss was in princess bride(“inconceivable”). They both have regular roles on the sitcom young sheldon. Plus Samuel l jackson as frozone. The argument between frozone and his wife is my favorite scene
I personally love Turning Red. Mostly because it takes place in '03 and I was about 2 years older than the main character during '03, so a lot of stuff was super relatable for me.
An incredible reaction to an incredible movie! Since you asked about the sequel - I personally did not really like it for two reasons: One, we don't really get to see the whole family fighting together a lot, and two, they undid a bunch of positive changes that happened in this movie. Some examples (slight spoilers ahead, I guess...): At the end of this movie, Supers were (somewhat) legal again - at the start of the sequel (which starts exactly where this one ended) they were not at all... In this movie, Bob's character arc was realizing that his family was more important to him than being a superhero - but in the sequel he gets jealous that his wife gets a chance to do superhero work but not him
@@disneygirl3630it's not. Even if just put by regular movie standards and not the standards as a continuation of a prior movie........it's a head empty, don't hink too much about it kind of enjoyable movie. If you don't care, you'll enjoy it I guess but if you start paying attention and care about how it's a sequel that takes place where the previous left off......no it's not a great movie
I personally feel the second one is worse simply because the villains plan(while impressive) is kind of stupid and unnecessary for their goal, but it's still a really good movie
I hope so. And I hope they'll consider the script I submitted for a sequel way back when. Not to give away too much but it actually involves a team-up between Jack(-Jack) and Syndrome.
I love this film. They way Bob's strength is portrayed is so clever. He's constantly struggling not to break things, can't stay in shape because everyday activity is too easy for him- you know the kind of intelligent draw-backs an overpowered character would have to cope with in daily life. Plus his compassion and vulnerability aren't eschewed, but validated. It's in that respect so much more mature than most DC vehicles have been.
This movie is way better than it has any right to be -great villian -endearing characters -perfect cast -air tight script -interesting and unique plot -clean animation and colour grading -crazy good score and sound design -great set locations -dope action sequences
Brad Bird has a gift for action. The way he frames action in the camera, the way he moves with it and shows you what is happening and where everyone is. He is SO good at it. So much so in fact that his first live action film was Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. And it's one of the most well loved of that franchise. He's just an incredibly solid director. He gets humor and how and when to use it. He knows how to build tension. Bob at the computer learning the plan was great, and then Helen in the plane with the missiles... actually truly tense scene. This is very truly one of the best action and superhero films ever made. And the sequel is awesome as well.
wish you would of seen this when it first came out...that way you wouldn't constantly compare characters and scenes to every movie that hadn't been released yet and just enjoy it foe what it is..an awesome and creative stand alone movie. other than that..good reaction.
I think that Honey wear's Frozone's supersuit when he's not on the clock, especially after the whole Superhero Relocation Act. That's why it was missing.
the kids names reflect their power violet can go invisable like ultra violet light, dash is a speedster & jack jack well he's a jack of all trades he can do everything
24:17 The actress of Mrs. Incredible learned real pilot lingo for her scenes flying the jet! She understands everything she is saying as the actress and the character! Fun Fact!!!
I think one of the best parts about this movie, and one very often overlooked, is Syndrome’s henchmen. They’re not just bumbling thugs for the heroes to mow down on their way to the main villain, they’re actually quite competent and clearly dangerous people with their own personalities. While the more experienced heroes clearly know this and are aware enough to avoid them or take them out from a safe difference they clearly consider them a legitimate threat. They pose a significant danger to the kids and it’s really only through blind luck that the kids survive their encounter with them. We see that super powers alone aren’t what makes a powered individual a hero, and they actually kind of prove Syndrome’s point that with the right technology and training anybody can be “super”.
It's funny how you caught onto Syndrome's name. Most people think it's a reference to "Hero Syndrome" - a pattern of behavior where someone puts people in danger so that they can save them from said danger. The example used most often is a firefighter who starts fires, but in this case, that basically describes Syndrome's plan to a T.
This movie had an amazing bonus feature disk that included a segment on how Jack Jack got his powers, a bio/interview with all the different supers (sad that the girl sucked into the plane turbine was only in high school when she died), and a funny 70’s style comic cartoon that is being watched by Frozone and Mr Incredible. This is absolutely hilarious because Frozone gets angry and loses his COOL.
It's quite a feat to manage to make such extremely well-established powers from some of the biggest comic superheroes like Mr.Fantastic, Flash and well super strength, not feel boring. Most media that deal with superpowers have to come up with new ones to make it interesting (in part bcs of this movie I'd say)
I like that the conflict in this movie is understandable, rather than stupid and obviously one sided. Like, yeah, law enforcement shouldn't treat nonviolent crimes like violent crimes, that's dangerous. If I found life so intolerable that I decided to end it and someone grabbed me, threw me through a window, and landed on top of me, resulting in untold medical bills, and now I'm in pain everyday when I already didn't think life was worth living, I'd sue too. I hope that guy got all his medical bills covered and plenty extra for the pain and suffering; if Mr. Incredible is fonna force him to continue to exist, Mr. Incredible can make sure it's as easy an existence as possible, considering he gave the guy disability. If you're gonna stop someone from self uninstalling, you better be ready to fix all their problems, not cause more, 'cause that's not a decision anyone comes to lightly.
Oh nice. And animation allows for stuff live action doesn't do well. Very specifically, stretchy powers are very hit or miss with live action effect techniques. You seen Into the Spider-verse? Same kinda deal, there's stuff in there that'd be next to impossible live action without looking like obvious cgi. When it's already animated our brains don't register it any different but it can be jarring in live action. That very specific issue is the reasoning that was given for changing Ms Marvel's powerset for the TV show. They knew stretchy powers wouldnt look good enough for them, so changed it up.
The sequel isn't as good but still better than expected, this is such a great family friendly superhero movie though! Another interesting super movie that takes things in a depressing realistic direction is CODE 8 (2019), long story short people with super powers are allowed to use them but are treated as second class citizens because they're a danger to society, and law is enforced with something between robocops and terminators.
I was reading title as how did this movie do certain things and to answer that question, it was the early 2000s and they didn't give a shxt, Code Lyoko for example is a French Cartoon that aired on CN and they had the balls to allow pretty mature things like X.A.N.A. possessing the Knockoff Xenomorph Animatronic and lick Sissi, a freaking teenager for a moment after stuck in gooey webbing or whatever like prey.
You should watch the short Jack Jack Attacks as it goes into what happened during those increasingly frantic calls from the babysitter as well as how she ended up.
@@AdamfromFWCI Which pitch meeting? Because Jack Jack Attacks wasn't on your reaction to "The Incredibles pitch meeting" and the one for The Incredibles 2 pitch meeting only had the Auntie Edna reaction proceeding it.

There was a short for jack jack about his powers and all the kids names are there powers dash is fast violet for ultra violet that’s why she is invisible and jack jack is a jack of all trades having many powers
@@AdamfromFWCI Also! When you watch the next one, that movie picks right up after this one ended. I just wanted to let u know so u wont expect anyone to be older!
Superman:The Movie 1978, Batman 1989, Batman Returns, Blade and this movie are what superhero movies should be. I'll even throw in the 1st X-Men movie on that list.
there is more than 10 years between the 1 and the 2 (13 years it seems) but the 2nd one is made like it was made juste after this one. The first one was centralized on the father. the 2nd one on the mother.
New subscriber here. I would recommend The Emperor's New Groove, Despicable Me, or Kung Fu Panda. All of them are excellent, lots of humor and great stories.

I don’t know if you’re diving into older animated films or only doing modern ones though. I believe both of those are from the 90s. Maybe “Prince” was early 2000s.
Aside from maybe The Fantastic Four, The Incredibles is the first time we got a superhero family film. Usually, superhero movies always went with the single male or female lead, but this was the first time we got a superhero film that has the family unit as the centric focus (for the most part). And for a Pixar cartoon, it dives into some deep stuff with Bob and his desire to relive the glory days of his youth. It feels great to have a film that celebrates and promotes the family unit.
I also love how complex and diverse the characters are in terms of their powers and how they relate to their personalities:
- Bob is super strong and has strong skin, which ties into his overconfidence and baldheaded nature, yet very capable.
- Helen has super elasticity, which ties into her ability to adapt and be flexible to any situation, including raising a family.
- Violet can turn invisible and create force fields, both of which tie into how she's shy and mostly invisible to everyone, yet as she overcomes her shyness and becomes more confident in herself, her ability to create longer force fields becomes stronger.
- Dash has superspeed, which ties into his overconfidence (similar to his father), his desire to do and achieve more, and his impatience, yet still a child who is learning.
- Jack-Jack has a multitude of powers due to his infant status and uncertainty, which will one day settle on one.
- Frozone can form ice from humidity, which ties into his more 'cool' and 'relaxed' nature.
Craig t nelson, the voice of mr incredible, was the star of the 90s sitcom, coach and played the father in the original poltergeist movie. The voice of bobs boss was in princess bride(“inconceivable”). They both have regular roles on the sitcom young sheldon. Plus Samuel l jackson as frozone. The argument between frozone and his wife is my favorite scene
He was also Rex in the Toy Story movies
What I love about the kids names, Violet's shields are ultra violet light based, Dash is fast and Jack-Jack is a jack of all trades.
The Incredibles is second only to the first 3 Toy Story movies as far as my favorite Pixar movies go. It's GENIUS
Dash= fast
Violet= manipulates ultra violet
Jack Jack= jack of all traits
Also Jack-Jack is Jack squared. Ultraviolet is invisible.
Pixar was a spin-off of Lucasfilm and was not yet owned by Disney. This was made before Disney bought them in 2006.
If you want to see what happened with Jack Jack and the babysitter, there's a short called Jack Jack Attack that was released on the DVD. It's great
I personally love Turning Red. Mostly because it takes place in '03 and I was about 2 years older than the main character during '03, so a lot of stuff was super relatable for me.
it takes place in 02
Same.
Emperor's new groove and up is also some great animated movies
An incredible reaction to an incredible movie!
Since you asked about the sequel - I personally did not really like it for two reasons: One, we don't really get to see the whole family fighting together a lot, and two, they undid a bunch of positive changes that happened in this movie.
Some examples (slight spoilers ahead, I guess...):
At the end of this movie, Supers were (somewhat) legal again - at the start of the sequel (which starts exactly where this one ended) they were not at all...
In this movie, Bob's character arc was realizing that his family was more important to him than being a superhero - but in the sequel he gets jealous that his wife gets a chance to do superhero work but not him
Bull!!! It’s a great movie
@@disneygirl3630it's not. Even if just put by regular movie standards and not the standards as a continuation of a prior movie........it's a head empty, don't hink too much about it kind of enjoyable movie. If you don't care, you'll enjoy it I guess but if you start paying attention and care about how it's a sequel that takes place where the previous left off......no it's not a great movie
"This is a bad guy office if I've ever seen one.". Spot on!
The sequel is just as good as the original. There are rumours that there is another one in the making. I hope it is true.
Based on past performance, we should find out in about 10 years...
I personally feel the second one is worse simply because the villains plan(while impressive) is kind of stupid and unnecessary for their goal, but it's still a really good movie
The sequel is terrible
I hope so. And I hope they'll consider the script I submitted for a sequel way back when.
Not to give away too much but it actually involves a team-up between Jack(-Jack) and Syndrome.
@@Icedsobaka no its not..what are u on about
I love this film. They way Bob's strength is portrayed is so clever. He's constantly struggling not to break things, can't stay in shape because everyday activity is too easy for him- you know the kind of intelligent draw-backs an overpowered character would have to cope with in daily life. Plus his compassion and vulnerability aren't eschewed, but validated. It's in that respect so much more mature than most DC vehicles have been.
This was the era of movies where it wasnt a cash grab but more they wanted to create stories for the story.
This movie is way better than it has any right to be
-great villian
-endearing characters
-perfect cast
-air tight script
-interesting and unique plot
-clean animation and colour grading
-crazy good score and sound design
-great set locations
-dope action sequences
Another great video. I remember the 2nd one being decent but not as good as the first. The video game was pretty good too.
Craig T. Nelson (Mr. Incredible) and Wallace Shawn (his boss) also play rivals on the sitcom "Young Sheldon."
Brad Bird has a gift for action. The way he frames action in the camera, the way he moves with it and shows you what is happening and where everyone is. He is SO good at it. So much so in fact that his first live action film was Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. And it's one of the most well loved of that franchise. He's just an incredibly solid director. He gets humor and how and when to use it. He knows how to build tension. Bob at the computer learning the plan was great, and then Helen in the plane with the missiles... actually truly tense scene. This is very truly one of the best action and superhero films ever made. And the sequel is awesome as well.
Your Schwarzenegger impression was so spot on it caught me so off guard 🤣
wish you would of seen this when it first came out...that way you wouldn't constantly compare characters and scenes to every movie that hadn't been released yet and just enjoy it foe what it is..an awesome and creative stand alone movie. other than that..good reaction.
Known means they know where he is. Mirage was spying on him when she found Mr. Incredible. Frozone was the original target.
22:22 The best crossover I've ever seen and heard 😅😂
I think that Honey wear's Frozone's supersuit when he's not on the clock, especially after the whole Superhero Relocation Act. That's why it was missing.
you should watch the short Jack Jack Attack! It shows what happened with the babysitter lool
Before watching incredibles 2 you should watch the short Jack Jack Attack!
the kids names reflect their power violet can go invisable like ultra violet light, dash is a speedster & jack jack well he's a jack of all trades he can do everything
Absolutely loved your reaction to this. About to binge your other videos.
Enjoy! If you like Harry Potter I recommend that reaction series. It was a lot of fun for me
24:17 The actress of Mrs. Incredible learned real pilot lingo for her scenes flying the jet! She understands everything she is saying as the actress and the character! Fun Fact!!!
I think one of the best parts about this movie, and one very often overlooked, is Syndrome’s henchmen. They’re not just bumbling thugs for the heroes to mow down on their way to the main villain, they’re actually quite competent and clearly dangerous people with their own personalities. While the more experienced heroes clearly know this and are aware enough to avoid them or take them out from a safe difference they clearly consider them a legitimate threat. They pose a significant danger to the kids and it’s really only through blind luck that the kids survive their encounter with them. We see that super powers alone aren’t what makes a powered individual a hero, and they actually kind of prove Syndrome’s point that with the right technology and training anybody can be “super”.
Loved your reaction, this movie is a classic 👌👏
It's funny how you caught onto Syndrome's name. Most people think it's a reference to "Hero Syndrome" - a pattern of behavior where someone puts people in danger so that they can save them from said danger. The example used most often is a firefighter who starts fires, but in this case, that basically describes Syndrome's plan to a T.
This movie had an amazing bonus feature disk that included a segment on how Jack Jack got his powers, a bio/interview with all the different supers (sad that the girl sucked into the plane turbine was only in high school when she died), and a funny 70’s style comic cartoon that is being watched by Frozone and Mr Incredible. This is absolutely hilarious because Frozone gets angry and loses his COOL.
Comic tv show….the commentary is HILARIOUS
m.ruclips.net/video/1R44MvXeEQw/видео.html
to be fair violet barely showed her face whenever tony showed up did he even know her name😭
It's quite a feat to manage to make such extremely well-established powers from some of the biggest comic superheroes like Mr.Fantastic, Flash and well super strength, not feel boring. Most media that deal with superpowers have to come up with new ones to make it interesting (in part bcs of this movie I'd say)
Jack Jack's name is a hint to his powers: he's a literal Jack of All Trades. The kid's got like every power lol
I never saw the splitting waterfall as dirty before but now you’ve corrupted my sweet virgin eyes.
The second one is also great.
Ngl. Staring at elasti-girl every few seconds randomly was unnerving lol. Love this movie
Mr incredible reaction to Mr Incredible 😂😂😂
I like that the conflict in this movie is understandable, rather than stupid and obviously one sided. Like, yeah, law enforcement shouldn't treat nonviolent crimes like violent crimes, that's dangerous.
If I found life so intolerable that I decided to end it and someone grabbed me, threw me through a window, and landed on top of me, resulting in untold medical bills, and now I'm in pain everyday when I already didn't think life was worth living, I'd sue too. I hope that guy got all his medical bills covered and plenty extra for the pain and suffering; if Mr. Incredible is fonna force him to continue to exist, Mr. Incredible can make sure it's as easy an existence as possible, considering he gave the guy disability. If you're gonna stop someone from self uninstalling, you better be ready to fix all their problems, not cause more, 'cause that's not a decision anyone comes to lightly.
Oh nice.
And animation allows for stuff live action doesn't do well. Very specifically, stretchy powers are very hit or miss with live action effect techniques. You seen Into the Spider-verse? Same kinda deal, there's stuff in there that'd be next to impossible live action without looking like obvious cgi. When it's already animated our brains don't register it any different but it can be jarring in live action. That very specific issue is the reasoning that was given for changing Ms Marvel's powerset for the TV show. They knew stretchy powers wouldnt look good enough for them, so changed it up.
39:37 I wanna disagree here- Tony noticed her at the start of the movie but she went invisible when he started paying attention to her
Wait, what? Winter's known as Australian summer down under??
I love you for thinking of Shredder when the mole machine came out of the ground.
The sequel isn't as good but still better than expected, this is such a great family friendly superhero movie though!
Another interesting super movie that takes things in a depressing realistic direction is CODE 8 (2019), long story short people with super powers are allowed to use them but are treated as second class citizens because they're a danger to society, and law is enforced with something between robocops and terminators.
Oh the sequel is just as good as the first 100% ❤❤❤
Yes do Turning Red, and yes do Incredibles 2, they're both awesome
Please watch the sequel! The second one is better in my opinion
Same!!!!
15:38 The Director Brad Bird plays Edna Mode!!!!!
The little costume designer is based on Hollywood costume designer icon, Edith Head.
Wow thats interesting, i just googled it. So Danny Devito as Andy Warhole, not related lol
I was reading title as how did this movie do certain things and to answer that question, it was the early 2000s and they didn't give a shxt, Code Lyoko for example is a French Cartoon that aired on CN and they had the balls to allow pretty mature things like X.A.N.A. possessing the Knockoff Xenomorph Animatronic and lick Sissi, a freaking teenager for a moment after stuck in gooey webbing or whatever like prey.
You should watch Jack-Jack attack. It's an animated short about what happens between the baby and his sitter.
You should watch the short Jack Jack Attacks as it goes into what happened during those increasingly frantic calls from the babysitter as well as how she ended up.
Check out the pitch meeting. It's on there ;)
@@AdamfromFWCI Which pitch meeting? Because Jack Jack Attacks wasn't on your reaction to "The Incredibles pitch meeting" and the one for The Incredibles 2 pitch meeting only had the Auntie Edna reaction proceeding it. To be clear Jack Jack Attacks features the trials and tribulations of the babysitter who watched Jack Jack in The Incredibles.
Hmmm maybe i watched it before incredibles 2 on that video? I definitely did a reaction to it. Sorry I'm not more organised lol
That Joni Mitchell cd reference was deep 😂
🤣🤣 from memory I'd just reacted to Love Actually a few days before and I was obsessed with it lol
Just found your channel today; this film is number 5. I can't wait to see all of your reactions! Especially your Harry Potter reactions! Absolutely subscribing after I submit this comment. 💜
Edit: Ted Lasso too!! Yeah Baby!
The potter series will either fill you with joy or rage lol either way I hope you enjoy that journey lol
Welcome!!
There was a short for jack jack about his powers and all the kids names are there powers dash is fast violet for ultra violet that’s why she is invisible and jack jack is a jack of all trades having many powers
Return of the Jedi is probably what you’re thinking of
NEW SUBSCRIBER!!!! LOVE YOUR REACTION SO FARR
Welcome!!
@@AdamfromFWCI Also! When you watch the next one, that movie picks right up after this one ended. I just wanted to let u know so u wont expect anyone to be older!
@@ionic_rezz7789 just finished recording ;)
@@AdamfromFWCI Ohh okay, cant wait to watch!!
Superman:The Movie 1978, Batman 1989, Batman Returns, Blade and this movie are what superhero movies should be. I'll even throw in the 1st X-Men movie on that list.
Blade is on my list of Movies to react too, the whole trilogy, i know the others arent as good, but.... Triple H! lol
Hopefully you first do the Jack-Jack Attack Short before the sequel.
definitely
Turning Red is an amazing movie, it’s my favourite animated movie of the year. Check it out bro
I love this movie Edna mode is an icon
there is more than 10 years between the 1 and the 2 (13 years it seems) but the 2nd one is made like it was made juste after this one. The first one was centralized on the father. the 2nd one on the mother.
"Very large ....rump..."
and, southern accent.
_whistles!_
thank god for the subtitles. The reacter has a loooot to tell....
PLEASE, you need to watch the short called Jack-Jack that shows what happens when he was with the babysitter, I promise you it's amazing 🤣
New subscriber here. I would recommend The Emperor's New Groove, Despicable Me, or Kung Fu Panda. All of them are excellent, lots of humor and great stories.
Welcome aboard! I have seen one of the Kung Fu Panda movies, but Emperors New Groove is definitely on the short list
@@AdamfromFWCI Thank you for the welcome! And, btw, the sequels to Kung Fu Panda are those rare-as-unicorn beasts that actually live up to the original. Just as funny, well-written and fun! ^_^
one of the best pixar movies ever
In the world we live in now, I can imagine someone suing for a foiled suicide.
Cats in trees. Ever see a cat skeleton up in a tree?
Yes watch Turning Red!!!
Watch Jack-Jack Attack for all the fun between him and Kari
you should watch Jack Jack Attack
it shows what happened when Kari was babysitting Jack Jack and after Incredibles 2 you should watch Auntie Edna
21:47 You should play Gravity Rush if you want to know what you can do with gravity control and levitation as superpowers.
He's a Jack of all trades
Before you watch 2, you should watch “Jack Jack Attack”.
Check my pitch meeting reactions, i think i watched it on that video
@@AdamfromFWCI yeah, realized after I posted that I was months late.
You should totally do turning red, of course only if you aren't a middle aged man who gets uncomfortable by young girl friendship and gen z wholesomeness
Only Pixar would have the balls to explore adult/mature themes in family-friendly movies. Disney is too cowardice to do that nowadays.
