Syndrome’s name is a reference to Hero Syndrome, a condition where a person creates dangerous situations so that they can play the “hero”, which is exactly what Syndrome did in the movie.

The voice for Edna is actually the director Brad Bird himself

The short Jack-Jack Attack is a lot of fun. The idea for this short came from an idea for a scene originally considered for inclusion in The Incredibles; it was cut from the feature and subsequently expanded.

Mary: "She's multi=purpose." Exactly what Brad Bird (the writer, director, and voice of Edna) intended. Each of the powers corresponds to what the characters are. Bob is the father so his power is strength and toughness. Helen is mom, so he has to be superflexible. Violet is the teenage girl, so wants to be invisible and shield herself from the world. Dash is a boy who is nothing but a ball of energy zooming around. Jack Jack is the baby, so he can change moods (and powers) with a moment's notice. And Frozone is voiced by Samuel L. Jackson, so he's cool.

The two old men at the end commenting on "There's no school like old school" were voiced (and made to look like) the brilliant Disney animators Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnson. They were involved with almost every major Walt Disney animated film from the 1930s through the 1980s. Not for the channel but for your own pleasure, you should watch the documentary "Frank and Ollie," which is about their careers and their lifelong friendship.

Fun thing about voice for Edna: Director said to voice actress "This is how she should sound like" did the voice and everyone insisted he voiced her for whole movie.

I love the retro-futurism designs especially Syndrome's base which looks like a Ken Adams designed James Bond villian lair.

I think it's such a funny detail that when Helen punches Mirage, you can see she was actually aiming for Bob too, but he dodged it at the last second. 😂

The true villains of this movie: The lawyers, the government, and the corporations.

This is a really good movie I love Edna Mole she is modeled after the multi Oscar winning fashion designer .Edith Head... "NO CAPES!"

Still the best Fantastic 4 movie ever made. The “I CAN’T LOSE YOU AGAIN” moment is so perfect and hits me hard every time I see it.

There's a minimovie called "Jack Jack attack" which shows what happened while he was with the babysitter. You should check it out.

You know Marie is angry at a bad guy when she starts yelling in her native language 😂.

A couple of the other voice actors in this: Helen is played by Holly Hunter, who was Ed in Raising Arizona. You might have recognized the voice of Bob's boss, since it is rather distinctive. If you didn't, well that's just "Inconceivable!"

One of the best "superhero" movies ever made.

Throughout the movie, you hear the messages from the mother to the babysitter about Jack Jack. If you have the DVD, there is a small movie where you get to see the reactions between the babysitter and jack jack which would be the other side of the phone calls.. definitely worth watching.

This is one of my fav Pixar movies! I love the story and the retro 60s style!

The airplane scene is just... perfect. Everything came together just right. Acting, script, direction, cinematography. Perfect.

Bob Parr: The head of the family. Strong, indestructible, never weakens, always there to protect Helen Parr: The manager of the family. Multi-tasking, must be flexible to no end Violet Parr: The insecure teenager: Feels invisible/neglected, introverted, keeps people away from her Daschle Parr: The energetic boy: Always ready for action, loves to be challenged, you can't slow him down Jack-Jack Parr: The baby. Just starting life. Unlimited potential to be anything he wants!

Syndrome's "hero" music when he shows up in the city is his theme song, but played on a major key, and using the instruments for Mr. Incredible's theme. This is the first of MANY movies that Michael Giacchino did the music for; this film, Ratatouille, and Up are his best works.

This and “Wall E” are my two favorites. The comment, “they’re penetrating the bureaucracy!” cracks me up.

For animated movies, How to Train Your Dragon series is a MUST watch! DreamWorks Studios has a way of touching the heart and the funny bone.

The tricycle boy is voiced by director Brad Bird's son Nick, who also voiced Squirt in Finding Nemo. His older Michael plays Tony Rydinger. Brad himself voices Edna Mode. Initally, he was just doing the scratch voice (he also did Bob and Syndrome, also both are physically based on him in design) and was aiming to use Lily Tomlin but when she heard the scratch voice she said "What do you need me for? You already got her!".

If you liked this, you MUST see _The Iron Giant._

Hi Mary! I’ve always loved this one. A whole bunch of action and still pretty wholesome for the family.

My favorite animated film is Kubo and the Two Strings. A stop-motion movie filmed in camera that looks like it is CGI. Amazing storytelling and virtuoso presentation.

Thing that amazes me about movies like this is they're often better written than many live action movies. Character development, character grown, worldbuilding, the relationships thing you mentioned. It's all there.

Love how you took the missile attack on Helen's plane in stride when most reactors find it the most nerve-racking scene in the movie. No matter how many times I watch it that scene would make me bite completely through my lip if I wasn't screaming.

There is a short animation "Auntie Edna" is like a mini Incredibles 1.5

For some good Pixar movies that aren't yet in your archives, I recommend: Monsters Inc. (2001), Finding Nemo (2003) and its sequel Finding Dory (2016), Inside Out (2015), and Coco (2017).

About the powers: Dad = strong Mom = stretched in all directions Boy = lots of energy, always running around Teen girl = shy, wants to be invisible

Everyone being special doesn't make everyone the same. Each and every person can be special and unique in their own special and unique way.

Great reaction! This movie is definitely a classic for me. The family really does mesh well together, and love the sequences where they're working together. In my head-canon, Dash learning to come in 2nd place is all about mastering control of his power. Easy to win 1st, takes more skill to dial it back and control his speed more carefully to win 2nd, so when he grows up, I could see his superhero name being "Silver Streak" or something like that. Oh, also, LOVED the insertion of "Movies with Mary" as Syndrome's system password. Well done :D

My favorite character in this wonderful movie is Edna "E" Mode, the fashion designer. She's modeled after famous film costume designer Edith Head (look her up, she's a legend), who, among many projects, worked a long time for Alfred Hitchcock (all those fantastic female creations). Her voice in the movie is actually a man, writer/director Brad Bird, the creator of THE INCREDIBLES. This is one of the best-animated feature films ever.

"Had to take a break but I'm back. Not that you guys know." Actually I heard the knocking on the door at 13:30 and thought it was my door so I went to answer it 😅

Syndrome doesnt know Helen's name because those were secret identities. In the movie is stablished he was tracking the superheros by finding their secret identities, so he doesnt know Elastigirl is called Helen.

This era was when Pixar and 3D animated movies were at their peak. The Incredibles, Cars, Bolt, Monster Inc, Toy Story 2 were all amazing.

GL with early motherhood. Can be difficult, but kids are the best thing in life

Frozones argument with his wife is in my top 10 favorite movie scenes

This is the best Fantastic Four movie. Elastagirl is Mr. Fantastic. Mr. Incrdible is the Thing (except without being made of rock). Violet is Invisible Woman. Dash doesn't have the Human Torch's powers, but his personality is a pretty close match, at least for a younger Johnny.

No capes! Superheroes are people too. The second one is also good.

Fun facts: This was the first Pixar movie to be made in 1080p HD. It's sequel was the first to be made in 4K. -This movie (up to that time) was the most labour intensive animation for Pixar. For instance, Finding nemo had just over 40 separate settings... This movie had over 200. -Frozone's ice powers were upgraded and reused for Elsa to use in the movie Frozen. -Several new forms of animation tech had to be invented, to make this movie possible. For instance, they had to make a bone system that would bend, stretch and flatten for Elastagirl.

omg i lovvvveeddd this movie as a kid and still do!! violet was always my fav. i can’t wait to watch :)

Your child is very lucky to have parents like you.

Not just one of my favorite Pixar movies, but one of my favorite movies period. The combination of superhero shenanigans and family dynamics is absolutely wonderful. It's also interesting to note that Edna Mode, designer of superhero costumes, is somewhat based on Edith Head, who designed costumes for many classic Hollywood films. You have to the watch "The Incredibles 2," which is every bit as good, or even better, than this film. The film is also a riff on the Marvel comics series "The Fantastic Four," where Reed Richards, Mr. Fantastic who is the one who stretches, eventually marries Susan Storm, The Invisible Girl, who eventually also generates force fields. It's too bad that Marvel has had an issue with coming up with a film based on the "The Fantastic Four" that is as good as "The Incredibles." Note that the bad guy right at the end of this film, the Underminer. is vaguely based on the Mole Man, the first villain The Fantastic Four fights against. P.S. I worked for a publisher of reference books for libraries for almost 30 years. One of my colleagues in another department had a son after years of trying to get pregnant. She used to play opera music when she was pregnant so that the unborn child would be born with a love for her favorite form of classical music. I wonder if your child will be born with a love of movies.

The Incredibles is the greatest superhero movie of all time! It's basically a superior version of the Fantastic Four (a family with different but complementary super powers) with a plot straight out of Watchmen (a villain secretly killing off costumed heroes after they've been banned by the government, launching a phony attack against a big city, etc.) The characters are also really well developed, with strengths and weaknesses than parallel their powers. Love it.

A definite must watch after this is the Pixar short "Jack Jack Attack"

I chuckled a little bit when you said at the beginning that you wanted to watch something joyful instead of dark because "The Incredibles" is the first Pixar movie with a body count! It has its serious/dark moments but overall it's good family fun. I liked the second one too. What's interesting about the second one is that it starts EXACTLY where the first one ended, with "The Underminer" causing havoc. They did a good job considering that the movies came out 14 years apart!

Saw a cartoon one where a teacher is talking to a young student. "Remember Johnny, you are unique. Just like everyone else"

Great reaction. The music for The Incredibles 2 is even better!

Kubo and the Two Strings is a criminally underwatched masterpiece. Highly recommended. Also, you're gonna be such a good mom!

10:42 he’s a Super, which means the government is in charge of relocating him and helping maintain his secret identity. That should be enough to help him out of prison

If Mary gives birth to Jack Jack this channel is about to get really entertaining! Stan Lee created this exact super team back in the 1960s, they are called The Fantastic Four.

The Underminer has one of the funniest lines in this or any movie and it's like 5 seconds from the end: "I've always been beneath YOU, but NOTHING is beneath ME!" 😂

"Is this... rubble?!" I •so• wanted Mary to laugh at this.

I like that you realized how Bob went overboard smashing his 'boss' through the wall like that. Usually reactors practically cheer at that total overkill. You can't say Syndrome sucks at being a bad guy, he eliminated dozens of supers. He just got a little sloppy at the finish line, and never had the 'No Capes' speech.

This movie is one of Pixar's most mature movies, and I'm here for it. I mean they immediately set the tone in the opening with an attempted suicide. Then you start laying out the other things in it: Actually realistic lawsuits (one of the papers covers a super with x ray vision, implicating him as a peeping tom) Government suppression of a race (the supers) genocide (yet again, of the supers) midlife crisis ptsd (Edna recalls every single date of a super killed by her designs and is therefore staunchly against capes) showcasing marriage troubles implied cheating torture onscreen death of multiple heroes, and the corpse of Gazerbeam theres probably more im missing, but i think ive made my point. I love when Pixar isnt afraid to get heavy

Awesome! Password “Movies with Mary”! Genius edit!

So glad to hear you're going to be a mom for the first time! You will make a great one. Congratulations!

Edna: "No capes!!" Syndrome: Killed by cape caught in jet turbine!

"Movie's with Mary"! Nice insert!!

Can't wait for the sequel

With your baby on the way, I can't wait for you to see Incredibles 2!

Your son will love this movie, it is so fun for kids and adults. Great video Mary

Have you tried Megamind? It's almost an antithesis to this one. Here we side with superheroes going against a guy with technology, in Megamind we side with a tech guy battling supers.

19:05 props to the editor, really great little edits ^^

Mary, you may watch and like some really sad and dark movies, but you really make me chuckle every time you do.... especially the ones that scare you.😊

The Incredibles, WALL-E and Up are my top three Pixar films. Outstanding stories and animation.

17:58 lol the fact that you were looking online for an Incredible suit onesie for your baby is so cute

There is a chance the music you performed is actually from a James Bond movie called On Her Majesty's Secret Service. The Incredible's music is inspired and directly a reference of that James Bond movie.

This has to be my favorite Pixar movie. You absolutely need to see the short movie Jack Jack Attack tom see what happened with the baby sitter. Also, there is a short movie about Frozone and Mr Incredible watching and commenting on the kids TV show about them. Hilarious. Loved your reaction!

One of the best decisions the Director made is having the family’s superpowers reflect their roles in a family. Dad- strong. Mom- stretched in many directions. Son- full of energy. Daughter- wants to be invisible. So well done 👏🏾! PS. And Jack-Jack is a baby which is full of potential and not just 1 thing yet… 😊 PPS. Yes, watch the Sequel! It’s good!

You need to do a mini reaction to the short Jack Jack Attack from this movie

The Incredibles powers are based on The Fantastic Four. The Fantastic Four movies are...various levels of flawed. That's why the running joke in superhero fandom has been "The Incredibles is the best Fantastic Four movie ever made!".

I know its a popular one but i really love what this movie did. Its up there as one of my favourite pixar movies next to inside out

Love this movie! Thank you for reacting!

19:04 nice edit :)

Moms are superheroes with superpowers just wait and see. ❤️❤️❤️

The set of powers in a family of superheroes is pretty similar to the Marvel comics family The Fantastic 4. Strength, stretching, and invisibility/force fields are even the same powers!

Avatar the Last Airbender is a perfect show for you its pretty happy but gets dark and rough as the story progresses

😎👍 Elastigirl was deliberately designed to look exactly like the actress that voiced her, Holly Hunter. She's been in all sorts of great movies that you'd also enjoy ("Raising Arizona," "Broadcast News" "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" etc). Another animated film which features a lot of characters that were specifically designed to look like the actors providing the voices is "Antz" (1998). 🐜 It's very easy to pick out Jennifer Lopez, Sylvester Stallone, Danny Glover and Christopher Walken among the cast.

The Whole thing was just amazing...the music so gorgeously set the right tone... The second one was great too. Another exceptional Anime Movie...is Monster's Inc.

As it happens, my brother's a large, barrel chested, blond military man, his wife is a red headed, highly competent fellow military veteran, with two kids...and older girl and blond boy. You can guess what got chosen for their group Halloween costume theme. This remains one of their favorite movies of all time.

Good you watched this, now you can show it to your kid with no spoilers

Great movie. And great reaction. You figured out so many things before they happened. Fun, fun, fun. Thank you.

I really hate fashion people, but they made Edna so lovable.

This movie is arguably top 3 animated movie ever

When Frozone and Mr. Incredible were in the jewelry store after the burning building collapse and the officer is pointing his gun at him and says, "Freeze", Frozone says, "I'm just getting a drink", I think is somewhat of a callback to Samuel L. Jackson's character (Zeus) in Die Hard 3 where he is in the New York subway at the payphone area and the Subway Police officer is pointing his gun at him telling him to get his hands up. Jackson's character hears the phone ringing and tells the officer that he has to answer the phone. The officer yells at him again to get his hands up and Jackson's character says, "If you have to shoot me then you shoot me, but I have to answer this phone!"

Helen: Who's the babysitter? Mary: Edna Audience: Interesting idea...🤔😉

This is my favorite superhero movie, bar none.

Oh the second one is also soo good

like how her dutch was coming through when she wanted to say 'godverdomme' haha

This was my absolute favorite childhood movie!!! Seriously, watching it as an adult after all these years really makes you stop and think, " Wow, there's some heavy dark stuff in this film!" But that's what makes it soo riveting now.. I've come to appreciate it more now, than i did many years ago .. You seriously need to watch Bird's masterpiece Iron GIANT!!!❤ That film is dark, it's sad, yet full if charming characters and a hot government agent😂 Thanks for the wonderful reaction video❤

Dash was motorboating his mom lol

Title: “The Croods” Year: 2013 Genre: Animation, Adventure, Comedy Main Cast: Nicolas Cage (Grug), Emma Stone (Eep), Ryan Reynolds (Guy), Catherine Keener (Ugga), Cloris Leachman (Gran).

Jack Jack eating from the floor? That's perfectly expected. You'll get there.

There's a short about Jak Jak and the babysitter as he gets his powers. I can't remember the name off the top of my head, but it might be fun to react to that along with the next one. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Now you've got to watch part 2.😊

"Man of Steel" (2013). I bet you! The person that animated ZOD throwing SUPERMAN by his cape; had this movie in mind 😅

This movie is just a joy to watch. So much fun.
