The Supers are Back in Incredibles 2!

By Erin

The long 14 year wait is finally over and we get to see the Supers back in action in Incredibles 2! Telecommunications guru Winston Deavor calls on Helen aka Elastigirl (voice of Holly Hunter) to help bring Supers back to fight crime and make the public fall in love with superheroes once again. That leaves Bob (voice of Craig T. Nelson) with one of his greatest challenges ever; to navigate the day-to-day heroics of “normal” life at home to take care of three rambunctious children. Violet, Dash and Jack-Jack offer him a new set of headaches while a new cybercriminal named Screenslaver- hatches a brilliant and dangerous plot that only the Incredibles can overcome together. You won’t want to miss this action packed film featuring your favorite supers!

Before you go out and see the film, brush up on some fun facts about the film! You can also read about what the cast had to share with us here.

BABY STEPS – For both The Incredibles and Incredibles 2, filmmakers studied real- life babies to capture baby Jack-Jack’s movements. Jack-Jack totally steals the show in this film, he is just so adorable and lovable as we discover his new powers.

DADDY DOLDRUMS – Bob finds that keeping up with three kids, including a toddler with newly revealed super powers, is challenging—and tiring. Filmmakers strategically dressed the character to reflect his state of mind. The more tired Bob gets, the more grays and beiges he wears. As he begins to take charge again, his wardrobe reflects his newfound confidence.

BIG FISH – The design of billionaire businessman Winston Deavor went through many iterations before filmmakers determined that the character’s determination and drive was reflective of a shark. Winston’s look took on sharp angles, and the slant of his forehead resembles a shark fin. He even wears a sharkskin suit.

PURRFECT – Winston’s super-smart sister Evelyn has the same tilt to her eyes that Winston sports, but artists chose a different animal to inspire her look. The character was often compared to a cat who is laidback, confident and comfortable wherever she goes. Keep an eye on this character!

WELCOME BACK — Oscar®-winning composer Michael Giacchino returns to the Incredibles with a new score for Incredibles 2. His memorable score for The Incredibles is perhaps even more memorable since it was his first-ever feature-film score.

OPEN BOOK — When production designer Ralph Eggleston and several members of the art team traveled to Palm Springs to soak up the area’s architecture for inspiration for the look of Incredibles 2, they were treated to a tour of several mid-century-modern homes. They saw that most of the homes they visited had a familiar book on the coffee table: “The Art of The Incredibles.”

MOVING DAY – Artists designed a new home for the Parr family, whose house was destroyed at the end of the first film. Story changes called for a much bigger, much more extravagant home for the Parrs, so designers went back to the drawing board, creating a 38,000 square-foot house that features multiple rooms, unusual architectural features, over-the-top gadgets, water features and a floor that moves like a sliding puzzle.

BAO- Make sure to get to the theater on time so you don’t miss this! A new Pixar short will show right before Incredibles 2 called Bao. An aging Chinese mom is suffering from empty nest syndrome and gets another chance at motherhood when one of her dumplings springs to life as a lively, giggly dumpling boy. However, the Dumpling starts growing up way too fast, and Mom must come to the bittersweet revelation that nothing stays cute and small forever. An adorable short that will totally jerk at your heartstrings.
