Background [ ]

Development [ ].

Brad Bird originally pitched the idea of Bomb Voyage's name. His original idea was that Bomb Voyage would be named " Bomb Pérignon " in reference to the similarly named champagne, Dom Pérignon, but the Moët et Chandon company would not allow that kind of parody.

Personality [ ]

Apart from his obviously evil and insane persona, Bomb Voyage is very sarcastic, mocking "Incrediboy" for trying to intervene on him.

Role in the film [ ]

Bomb Voyage is a recurring enemy of Mr. Incredible as he is introduced. He is a mime-like criminal who speaks French, although he can understand English as well.

When he is first introduced, Bomb Voyage crashes through a brick wall after stealing money. Just before Mr. Incredible could fight him, a young Buddy Pine (as "IncrediBoy", Mr. Incredible's so-called sidekick) arrived and tried to appeal to Mr. Incredible that he would be a worthy sidekick for him (and that he invented new rocket boots, which make him get around so fast). Mr. Incredible then told him, "Fly home, Buddy. I work alone" while Bomb Voyage agreed with him by insulting Buddy's "ridiculous" costume and calling him a "little oaf" (in French). Bomb Voyage then took advantage of the distraction to aid his escape. As Buddy flew off to get the police, Bomb Voyage put a bomb on his cape (unbeknownst to him), forcing Mr. Incredible to release Bomb Voyage in order to save Buddy. Bomb Voyage was presumably aware of Mr. Incredible's persona in that in a tight situation, he would choose saving people over apprehending criminals.

Bomb Voyage successfully made a getaway, and it is presumed that he remained at large for the remainder of the film. He was also partially responsible for the Anti-Super Legislation Act being enacted, as the bomb he placed on Buddy was later removed from his cape by Mr. Incredible and managed to land and detonate on a railroad bridge, which forced Mr. Incredible to stand in the path of the train to prevent it from falling off the broken bridge, which resulted in the passengers suing Mr. Incredible, and acting as the jury in his lawsuit trial, that eventually led to it being passed.

Video games [ ]

In the video game version , Voyage is the main villain for the first three levels of the game and he speaks English. In the last level he is involved in, he recreates the scene in the movie, placing a bomb on Buddy Pine's cape, forcing Mr. Incredible to save him. After this, he attempts to escape in a helicopter, and Mr. Incredible defeats him by throwing six bombs at the chopper, causing it to fly out of control and leave the scene.

Printed media [ ]

In the comic series, Bomb Voyage is recruited by Xerek to make the Eiffel Tower vanish with one of his bombs, and later meets Elastigirl and Mirage in person when they arrive to investigate, when he attempts to escape, Elastigirl follows him throughout Paris and eventually shakes Xerek's location out of him. Since it has been 15 years since his appearance in the movie, Bomb Voyage has aged significantly, with a potbelly and balding hair.

• Bomb Voyage had a minor cameo as a street mime, during the 2nd act when Linguini and Colette are rollerskating by Notre Dame in Ratatouille during the Le Festin sequence. His name also appears on a newspaper that Colette is reading.
• Bomb Voyage's name is a pun on the French phrase "Bon voyage". His real name is "Remy Bon Mot".
• The Boom! Studios comic reveals Bomb Voyage was one of the few villains to elude the NSA completely around the time of the superhero ban, only to re-emerge in Paris years later and destroying the Eiffel Tower in the process. Working for Xerek, he destroys the rendezvous point that Mrs. Incredible and Mirage were to meet their contact at. When Bomb Voyage tries to escape, Helen takes a jetpack in pursuit and Xerek reveals himself through Bomb Voyage's communicator, which threatens to explode and take both of them down.
• In the comic series, he speaks perfect English.
• Bomb Voyage refers to Mr. Incredible as "Monsieur Incroyable", which is, ironically, not what Mr. Incredible is referred to in the French dub of the film, instead being named "Monsieur Indestructible"; however, the Canadian French dub names him "Monsieur Incroyable".

Biography [ ]

The incredibles [ ].

Bomb Voyage is a recurring enemy of Mr. Incredible as he is introduced. He is a mime-like criminal who speaks French, although it was hinted that he knew English as well, as he said "IncrediBoy" in its English wording rather than a French translation of the name.

When he is first introduced, Bomb Voyage crashes through a brick wall after stealing money. Just before Mr. Incredible could fight Bomb Voyage, a young  Buddy  (as "IncrediBoy," Mr. Incredible's unofficial sidekick) arrived and tried to appeal to Mr. Incredible that he would be a worthy sidekick (and that he invented new rocket boots, which make him get around so fast). Mr. Incredible rejects Buddy, and Bomb Voyage took advantage of the distraction to aid his escape. As Buddy flew off to get the police, Bomb Voyage put a bomb on his cape (unbeknownst to him), forcing Mr. Incredible to release Bomb Voyage in order to save Buddy.

Bomb Voyage successfully made a getaway, and it is presumed that he remained at large for the remainder of the film. Despite his minor role, Voyage's actions left a major impact on the film and its sequel, as he was partially responsible for the Anti-Super Legislation Act being enacted since the bomb he placed on Buddy Pine was later dislodged from his cape and destroyed a railroad track, leading to Mr. Incredible stopping a train and getting sued by the injured passengers, who acted as the jury in his lawsuit trial, resulting in the act being passed.

Video Game Adaptation [ ]

In the video game version, Voyage is the main villain for the first three levels of the game and he speaks English. In the third level he is involved in, he recreates the scene in the movie, throwing a bomb in Buddy Pine's cape, forcing Mr. Incredible to save him. After this, he attempts to escape in a helicopter, and Mr. Incredible defeats him by throwing six bombs at him, causing it to fly out of control and presumably crash, killing Voyage.

Comic Book Series [ ]

Bomb Voyage’s defeat in the comic book version of The Incredibles .

In the comic series, Bomb Voyage is recruited by Xerek to make the Eiffel Tower vanish with one of his bombs, and later meets Elastigirl and Mirage in person when they arrive to investigate, when he attempts to escape, Elastigirl follows him throughout Paris and eventually shakes Xerek's location out of him. Since it has been 15 years since his appearance in the movie, Bomb Voyage has aged significantly, with a potbelly and balding hair.

Personality [ ]

Bomb Voyage is an obviously evil terrorist who doesn't care about bombing buildings or killing someone who gets in his way. He's likely of French origin, all of his speech being in French language. He wasn't above killing a young child, as shown when he puts a bomb on Buddy's cape, the latter being unaware of that. He's also an unpleasant person, mocking IncrediBoy's cape and mocking him when he shows up.

Enemies [ ]

• Mr. Incredible - Old foe and Attempted Captor
• Buddy Pine † - Attempted Victim

• Brad Bird originally pitched the idea of Bomb Voyage's name. His original idea was that Bomb Voyage would be named " Bomb Pérignon " in reference to the similarly named champagne, Dom Pérignon, but the Moët et Chandon company would not allow that kind of parody.
• Later on in the film, when Syndrome tells Mr. Incredible that he became evil due to the latter rejecting his help the night Mr. Incredible faced Bomb Voyage, Bomb Voyage is noticeably absent from the scene despite that Mr. Incredible was holding him when he told Buddy to fly home. This was most likely done to emphasize Syndrome's narcissism as he figured Mr. Incredible was just being a jerk rather than the fact Mr. Incredible was actually busy trying to apprehend Bomb Voyage.
• Bomb Voyage makes a cameo appearance in Ratatouille as a mime. His first crime scene was in the newspaper Collete reads where they get about the review of the soup.
• Bomb Voyage's name is a pun to the French phrase "Bon Voyage", meaning "have a nice trip" or "safe journey".
• He and The Underminer are the only villains in the film series to succeed in their plan in spite of both being defeated in the non-canonical comics and the video game adaptations. This makes both villains to make successful getaways while being chased by their enemies.

Synopsis [ ]

The Incredibles centers on a family of retired superheroes and features Bob Parr , the father of the family, being pulled out of retirement to take down a new evil villain, Buddy Pine .

The film is set in a 1960s-esque alternate universe where superheroes, also known to the public community as Supers, are renowned and commended for their heroic deeds worldwide, allowing them the luxuries of a Golden Age. One particular superhero who truly lives in this age is the super-strong Mr. Incredible , engaged to the amazingly flexible and dexterous Elastigirl and best friends with the cryokinetic Frozone . While driving to his wedding with Elastigirl, Mr. Incredible experiences an otherwise routine day of fighting crime and saving lives, including rescuing a man, Oliver Sansweet , from falling off a building and stopping a train from falling off its track. In addition to confronting an infamous member of his rogue's gallery Bomb Voyage , Mr. Incredible must deal with the intrusion of his self-proclaimed #1 fan, Buddy Pine , who tries to impose himself as Mr. Incredible's sidekick, "IncrediBoy". Constantly frustrated by the boy's presence, Mr. Incredible coldly rebuffs him each and every time he appears. After he gets married, Mr. Incredible ends up sued by the man he saved earlier for ruining his attempt to commit suicide, while the victims of the train rescue are suing for the injuries they have sustained even though they might have been killed, had it not been for Mr. Incredible's intervention. These lawsuits left people across the world to sue Supers everywhere for the collateral damage and recklessness caused by their heroics, thus resulting in the suits to cost the government a lot of money. Not long after, the government gave Supers amnesty from responsibility for past actions, in exchange for the promise to never again continue being heroes.

Fifteen years later, Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl have settled into relatively normal lives. Now known by their secret identities, Bob and Helen Parr, they have a house in the suburbs and are raising three kids: 14-year-old daughter Violet , 10-year-old son Dash , and 1-year-old infant son Jack-Jack though, in a deleted scene, Syndrome says that it's against the law for Supers to marry and have kids. Like their parents, Violet and Dash have their own powers: Violet can turn invisible and create force fields, Dash can run at breakneck speeds, and Jack-Jack is seemingly a normal baby without powers. Bob is overweight and frustrated with the drudgery of his job as a claims adjuster for a corrupt insurance company called Insuricare and secretly helps deserving clients to find loopholes to get their payments. He dreams of returning back to his glory days of being a superhero, going so far as to moonlight as a vigilante by listening to a police scanner every Wednesday, with his friend Frozone, known now as Lucius Best, claiming to their wives that they're going bowling, though Lucius actually wants to go. They have discovered that another former superhero named Gazerbeam has had trouble adjusting to civilian life like Bob does and is now missing. They go to save people from a burning building, but the heat is too much for Lucius to put out with his powers. They accidentally run into the nearby jewelry store, where the security guard assumes they are robbers, Lucius freezes him with the water from the nearby dispenser. When Helen finds out about Bob's nighttime escapades, it causes an argument, Bob hates having to hide their gifts, and wants to return to the heroics of the old days, while Helen is concerned about keeping the family together and not having to start over again by going into hiding in a brand-new location.

Eventually, Mr. Huph , Bob's miserly boss, suspects Bob is helping clients and reprimands him. During the lecture, Bob notices a person being mugged in the street. Mr. Huph stops Bob from going to the victim's aid, threatening to fire him, and the mugger escapes. When Huph smugly begins lecturing again, Bob, furious with his insensitivity, grabs him by the neck and hurls him through several office walls and hit black cupboards. Huph is hospitalized with broken bones and sprained left arm and left leg, and Bob is fired. Normally the government agent and Bob's old friend Rick Dicker would cover such an incident by paying to keep the company quiet, relocating his family, and erasing memories of the incident, but since it is costing too much money for the government, Dicker says that he can no longer help Bob, but quickly relents and offers to bail him out one last time, an offer that Bob refuses since his family has adjusted to their current life. While Bob is trying to figure out how to tell Helen about his accident, Mirage , a mysterious agent, contacts him and offers highly paid work subduing a renegade robot, the Omnidroid 08 , on Nomanisan , an uncharted volcanic island. Bob takes the assignment, telling Helen that he is attending a conference out of town, hiding both the loss of his job and the renewal of hero work. While on a jet to Nomanisan, Mirage briefs Bob now Mr. Incredible again about how his mission is going to go, and how he needs to subdue the Omnidroid find a way to nuetralize it without completely destroying it beyond salvation and do it quickly before it figures out how to kill him Mr. Incredible lands on the island and begins searching. He finds the Omnidroid and an epic battle ensues. Mr. Incredible defeats the Omnidroid, and with the hefty reward he begins to lead a much happier life with his family. However, he has slightly damaged his supersuit from the battle, and takes it to its designer, the flamboyant Edna Mode , for repairs. Edna also offers to create a brand-new suit for him, and he accepts but, unbeknownst to him, she also creates matching suits for his entire family.

Two months later, Mirage calls Bob with a new assignment. Helen overhears the call but does not realize its full implications or content and begins to have suspicions of an affair, though she nervously keeps it to herself. When Mr. Incredible returns to the island, he discovers he'd been set up as he is ambushed by an improved version of the Omnidroid prototype robot, Omnidroid v.X9 . The Omnidroid's creator is revealed to be a now adult Buddy Pine, having become a psychotic and incredibly wealthy weapons designer named Syndrome. Embittered by constant rejection from his former idol, he made a fortune in high-tech weapons technology. He then invented the Omnidroid, a robot designed to kill Supers. Syndrome uses his zero-point energy ray to immobilize Mr. Incredible, and after throwing him around a few times, Syndrome accidentally throws Mr. Incredible over a waterfall. Mr. Incredible manages to escape from Syndrome and discovers Gazerbeam's remains in an underground cavern when he narrowly escapes a bomb. While inside the cave, he discovers the word "Kronos" etched onto the walls with Gazerbeam’s laser vision. He infiltrates Syndrome's base and gets beyond the wall of lava to his main computer. Typing in the password "Kronos", he gains access to all of Syndrome's files. He learns that Syndrome has built many other robots to kill Supers, while it is presumed nearly all of them are dead. He also discovers that Syndrome is now planning on unleashing the robot into the city of Metroville where it will cause mass destruction according to a plan which Syndrome called Project Kronos.

Back at home, Helen notices that Bob's old super suit has recently been repaired. She visits Edna and learns that he has resumed superhero work behind her back. With a call to Insuricare , she also realizes that Bob is no longer employed. Edna reveals to Helen about the new super suits for her and the children, and advises her to take control of the situation. Helen activates the homing device Edna built into Bob's super suit, which inadvertently reveals his location to both her and Syndrome who recaptures him. She heads for the island in a fast jet, on which Violet and Dash have stowed away, after leaving Jack-Jack at home with a babysitter, Kari. Syndrome, meanwhile, tortures Mr. Incredible for information and launches a missile attack against Helen’s now Elastigirl after dawning her new suit out of suspicion something may be wrong on the airplane, which shocks even Mirage when it is revealed that there are children aboard. Elastigirl and the kids manage to escape unharmed, and swim to the island, though everyone on the island believes they are dead. Enraged at Syndrome for apparently killing his family, Mr. Incredible grabs Mirage and threatens to kill her unless Syndrome frees him, Syndrome calls his bluff, and Mr. Incredible releases her unharmed, remaining Syndrome's prisoner. Mirage is furious at Syndrome for gambling with her life, and his belief that Mr. Incredible’s value of life is a weakness. In spite of calling his bluff, she leaves and says next time he gambles, he should bet his own life.

While Elastigirl infiltrates Syndrome's base, the new and improved Omnidroid v.10 is loaded and launched on a rocket towards its target, Metroville. In Syndrome's base, a remorseful Mirage secretly frees Mr. Incredible just before Elastigirl arrives. The two superheroes rush to find their children, who are fighting off Syndrome’s henchmen. Dash races the guards through the jungle on foot and discovers he can run on water, and Violet holds her ground against the guards with her invisibility. When the family reunites, a battle ensues, where in the family co-operates to defeat their attackers.

However, Syndrome arrives and captures the Incredibles using his zero-point energy beams. Upon capturing them, Syndrome is surprised to find that Mr. Incredible married Elastigirl and had kids with her. Syndrome then explains his plan to them in the containment unit to save Metroville from the Omnidroid and thereby become a hero. Mr. Incredible then figures out that for the past 15 years, Syndrome has been inviting other real heroes to Nomanisan too, and killing them so he could perfect the Omnidroid's final design. With the final design now in place, he plans to pretend to be a hero to bring the Supers back into the spotlight. After that, he'll sell all his gadgets and inventions to the world once his career is finished, thus making everyone super. At that point, the possession of superpowers no longer unique, claiming when everyone is super, no one will be, revealing that the whole idea of Project Kronos was to make the word "super" meaningless. He then leaves the Incredibles in an energy prison to put his finishing touches on phase 3. Violet’s force fields allow them to escape, but not before Mr. Incredible reveals that none of this would be happening if he hadn’t been so held up in the past. With Mirage's help, they depart for the mainland after Syndrome with a rocket.

In Metroville, Syndrome attempts to stop the Omnidroid's destructive rampage, but the robot becomes self aware the 08 did, figures out the nature of his remote control, and knocks him unconscious. The Incredibles and Frozone fight the robot and do everything they can to stop it before it completely destroys the city. Mr. Incredible realizes that the only way to defeat the Omnidroid is on the inside like he did the last time. After getting ahold of the remote and figuring out how it works, the Incredibles use the remote for one of the claws that was shot earlier to activate it. The thrusters in the claw allows him to launch it like a missile at the robot, impaling and destroying it once and for all. The town applauds them for their achievements, the possibility of superheroes coming out of hiding is mentioned by Dicker. Syndrome wakes up to find that the Incredibles have stolen his glory and his dark future.

Rick Dicker drives the Incredibles home, telling them that the United States government has frozen Syndrome's assets and put a warrant out for his arrest. Elastigirl listens to the messages left by Kari and learn that a replacement came over, so they hurry to their house only to find that Syndrome is kidnapping Jack-Jack, intending to raise him as his sidekick, in revenge for his future being taken away. As Syndrome attempts to fly up to his jet using his rocket boots, Jack-Jack suddenly reveals that he does indeed have super powers after all: shapeshifting. His forms consisted of fire, metal, and then an imp-like monster. Syndrome drops Jack-Jack, who is caught by Elastigirl, and attempts to flee, declaring that he will make another attempt to abduct Jack-Jack in the future. Bob, having had enough of Syndrome, hurls the family car into the jet, Syndrome is knocked into the turbine and his cape is caught in the engine quickly becomes a super smoothie. Violet, having mastered her force field powers, protects the family from the raining flames and debris as the jet explodes, much to the amazement of their young neighbor.

Three months later, the family is much happier, even Bob is content with their civilian life. Dash is running in a track meet, he carefully controls his use of super-speed and finishes in second place. Violet, who formerly felt alienated to the point of using her hair to hide her face, is found with her hair pulled back, talking to a friend of hers and successfully asking Tony Rydinger for a date to the movies. As they walk out of the sports complex, a new villain, The Underminer , rises from the ground and declares war on peace and happiness. The family members, including Jack-Jack, put on their masks and prepare to fight the new villain .

Production [ ]

Writing [ ].

The Incredibles as a concept dates back to 1993 , when Pixar presented the Black Friday reel of Toy Story that caused production to shut down, and when Bird sketched the family during a period in which he tried to break into film, the first leaked sketch from that year being a super heroine named "Helen". [3] [4] Personal issues had percolated into the story as they weighed on him in life. [5] During this time, Bird had inked a production deal with Warner Bros. Animation and was in the process of directing his first feature The Iron Giant . [6] Bird, who was then in his late thirties, began to wonder, with a measure of fear, about the conflict between career and family responsibilities. Approaching middle age and having high aspirations for his filmmaking, he pondered whether these aspirations were attainable only at the price of his family life. [5] He felt that he would completely fail at one if he focused too much on the other. He stated, " Consciously, this was just a funny movie about superheroes. But I think that what was going on in my life definitely filtered into the movie. " [7] After the box office failure of The Iron Giant , Bird was heartsick and gravitated toward his superhero story. [5] [6]

He imagined it as an homage to the 1960s comic books and spy films from his boyhood and he initially tried to develop it as a traditionally animated film. [5] When The Iron Giant became a box office bomb (due to poor marketing on behalf of Warner Bros. [6] ), he reconnected with old friend from college John Lasseter at Pixar in March 2000 and pitched his story idea to him. [4] Bird and Lasseter knew each other from their college years at CalArts in the 1970s. [10] Lasseter was sold on the idea and convinced Bird to come to Pixar, where the film would be done in computer animation. The studio announced a multifilm contract with Bird on May 4, 2000. [5] This broke Pixar's mold of having directors who had all risen through the ranks, and Bird became the first outside director to be hired. In addition, it would be the company's first film in which all characters are human. [10] Bird was a departure from other Pixar directors in many more ways, bringing an auteur approach not found in their earlier productions. Where Pixar films typically had two or three directors and a battalion of screenwriters, The Incredibles was written and directed solely by Brad Bird. [11]

Bird came to Pixar with the lineup of the story's family members worked out: a mom and dad, both suffering through the dad's midlife crisis, a shy teenage girl, a cocky ten-year-old boy, and a baby. Bird had based their powers on family archetypes. [5] [9] After several failed attempts to cast Edna Mode, Bird took on her voice role himself. It was an extension of the Pixar custom of tapping in-house staff whose voices came across particularly well on scratch dialogue tracks. [8] During production, Hayao Miyazaki of Studio Ghibli visited Pixar and saw the film's story reels. When Bird asked if the reels made any sense or if they were just "American nonsense," Miyazaki replied, through an interpreter, "I think it's a very adventurous thing you are trying to do in an american film." [12]

Animation [ ]

Brad Bird, writer and director of the film.

Upon Pixar's acceptance of the project, Brad Bird was asked to bring in his own team for the production. He brought up a core group of people he worked with on The Iron Giant . Because of this, many 2-D artists had to make the shift to 3-D, including Bird himself. Bird found working with CG "wonderfully malleable" in a way that traditional animation is not, calling the camera's ability to easily switch angles in a given scene "marvelously adaptable." He found working in computer animation difficult in a different way than working traditionally, finding the software sophisticated and not particularly friendly. [13] Bird wrote the script without knowing the limitations or concerns that went hand-in-hand with the medium of computer animation. As a result, this was to be the most complex film for Pixar yet. [3] The film's characters were designed by Tony Fucile and Teddy Newton , whom Bird had brought with him from Warner Bros. [14] Like most computer-animated films, The Incredibles had a year-long period of building the film from the inside out: modeling the exterior and understanding controls that work face and body — the articulation of the character — before animation could even begin. [13] Bird and Fucile tried to emphasize the graphic quality of good 2-D animation to the Pixar team, who'd only worked primarily in CG. Bird attempted to incorporate teaching from Disney's Nine Old Men that the crew at Pixar had "never really emphasized." [13]

For the technical crew members, the film's human characters posed a difficult set of challenges. [11] Bird's story was filled with elements that were difficult to animate with CGI at the time. Humans are widely considered to be the most difficult thing to execute in animation. [4] Pixar animators filmed themselves walking in order to better grasp proper human motion. [4] Creating an all-human cast required creating new technology to animate detailed human anatomy, clothing and realistic skin and hair. Although the technical team had some experience with hair and cloth in Monsters, Inc. (2001), the amount of hair and cloth required for The Incredibles had never been done by Pixar until this point. Moreover, Bird would tolerate no compromises for the sake of technical simplicity. Where the technical team on Monsters, Inc. had persuaded director Pete Docter to accept pigtails on Boo to make her hair easier to animate, the character of Violet had to have long hair that obscured her face, it was integral to her character. [11] Violet's long hair was extremely difficult to achieve and for the longest time during production, it was not possible. In addition, animators had to adapt to having hair underwater and blowing through the wind. [13] Disney was initially reluctant to make the film because of these issues, feeling a live-action film would be preferable, though Lasseter vetoed this. [15]

The Incredibles not only dealt with the trouble of animating CG humans, but also many other complications. The story was bigger than any prior story at the studio, was longer in running time, and had four times the number of locations. [13] [16] Supervising technical director Rick Sayre noted that the hardest thing about the film was that there was "no hardest thing," alluding to the amount of new technical challenges: fire, water, air, smoke, steam, and explosions were all additional to the new difficulty of working with humans. [13] The film's organizational structure could not be mapped out like previous Pixar features, and it became a running joke to the team. [13] Sayre said the team adopted “Alpha Omega," where one team was concerned with building modeling, shading and layout and another that dealt with final camera, lighting and effects. Another team, dubbed the character team, digitally sculpted, rigged and shaded the characters, and a simulation team was responsible for developing simulation technology for hair and clothing. [13] There were 781 visual effects shots in the film and they were quite often the gag, such as the shattering when Bob angrily shuts the car door. In addition, the effects team improved upon the modeling of clouds, being able to model them for the first time with volumetric rendering. [13]

The skin of the characters gained a new level of realism from a technology to produce what is known as "subsurface scattering." [14] The challenges did not stop with modeling humans. Bird decided that in a shot near the film's end, baby Jack-Jack would undergo a series of transformations, and in one of the five planned he would turn himself into a kind of goo. Technical directors believed it would take upwards of two months to work out the goo effect, and production was at a point where two months of their time was indescribably precious. [17] They petitioned to the film's producer John Walker for help. Bird, who had brought Walker over from Warner Bros., took great exception to the idea that Jack-Jack could undergo a mere four transformations and that the film could do without the goo-baby. They argued over the issue in several invective-laced meetings for two months until Bird finally gave in. [17] Bird also insisted that the storyboards define the blocking of characters' movements, lighting, and camera moves, which had previously been left to other departments rather than storyboarded. [11]

Bird self-admitted that he had the knees of the studio trembling under the weight of The Incredibles , but called the film a testament to the talent of the animators at Pixar, who were admiring the challenges the film provoked. [13] He recalled, "Basically, I came into a wonderful studio, frightened a lot of people with how many presents I wanted for Christmas, and then got almost everything I asked for." [15]

The Incredibles is the first Pixar film to be scored by Michael Giacchino . Brad Bird was looking for a specific sound as inspired by the film's design — the future as seen from the 1960s. John Barry was the first choice to do the film's score, with a trailer of the film given a rerecording of Barry's theme to On Her Majesty's Secret Service . However, Barry did not wish to duplicate the sound of some of his earlier soundtracks; [18] the assignment was instead given to Giacchino. [19] Giacchino noted that recording in the 1960s was largely different than modern day recording and Dan Wallin, the recording engineer, said that Bird wanted a very old feel, and as such the score was recorded on analogue tapes. Wallin noted that brass instruments, which are at the forefront of the film's score, sound better on analog equipment rather than digital. Wallin came from an era in which music was recorded, according to Giacchino, "the right way," which consists of everyone in the same room, "playing against each other and feeding off each other's energy." Tim Simonec was the conductor/orchestrator for the score's recording. [20]

The film's orchestral score was released on November 2, 2004, three days before the film opened in theaters. It won numerous awards for best score including Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award, BMI Film & TV Award, ASCAP Film and Television Music Award, Annie Award, Las Vegas Film Critics Society Award and Online Film Critics Society Award and was nominated for Grammy Award for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media, Satellite Award and Broadcast Film Critics Association Award. [21]

Several film reviewers drew precise parallels between the film and certain superhero comic books, like Powers , Watchmen and Fantastic Four . Indeed, the producers of the 2005 adaptation of the Fantastic Four were forced to make significant script changes and add more special effects because of similarities to The Incredibles . [22] Bird was not surprised that comparisons arose due to superheroes being "the most well-trod turf on the planet," but noted that he'd not been inspired by any comic books specifically, only having heard of Watchmen . He did comment that it was nice to be compared to something as highly regarded as Watchmen . [9]

Some commentators took Bob's frustration with celebrating mediocrity and Syndrome's comment that if "everyone is super, then no one is" as a reflection of views shared by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche or an extension of Russian-American novelist's Ayn Rand's Objectivism philosophy, which Bird felt was "ridiculous." [4] [9] He stated that a large portion of the audience understood the satire whereas " two percent thought I was doing The Fountainhead or Atlas Shrugged. " Some purported that The Incredibles exhibited a right-wing bias, which Bird found silly. "I think that's as silly of an analysis as saying The Iron Giant was left-wing. I'm definitely a centrist and feel like both parties can be absurd." [4]

The film also explored Bird's dislike for the tendency of the children's comics and Saturday morning cartoons of his youth to portray villains as unrealistic, ineffectual, and non-threatening. [23] In the film, Dash and Violet have to deal with villains who are perfectly willing to use deadly force against children. [24] On another level, both Dash and Violet display no emotion or regret at the deaths of those who are trying to kill them, such as when Dash outruns pursuers who crash their vehicles while chasing him, or when both of them witness their parents destroy several attacking vehicles with people inside, in such a manner that the deaths of those piloting them is undeniable. Despite disagreeing with some analysis, Bird felt it gratifying for his work to be considered on many different levels, which was his intention: " The fact that it was written about in the op/ed section of the New York Times several times was really gratifying to me. Look, it's a mainstream animated movie, and how often are those considered thought provoking? " [4]

Release [ ]

The film opened on November 5, 2004 as Pixar's first film to be rated PG (for "action violence"). [17] Its theatrical release was accompanied with a Pixar short film Boundin' . [25] While Pixar celebrated another triumph with The Incredibles , Steve Jobs was embroiled in a public feud with the head of its distribution partner The Walt Disney Company . [26] This would eventually lead to the ousting of Michael Eisner and Disney's acquisition of Pixar the following year.

In March 2014 , Disney CEO and chairman Bob Iger announced that the film will be reformatted and re-released in 3D. [27]

Home media [ ]

The film's 2-disc Collector's Edition DVD set was released on March 15, 2005 . The DVD release also includes Jack-Jack Attack and Mr. Incredible and Pals , two Pixar short films made especially for the release of The Incredibles , and Boundin' , a Pixar short film which premiered with The Incredibles in theaters. [25] Mr. Incredible and Pals was not animated, it only had pictures with moving mouths. It featured Mr. Incredible, Frozone, and a rabbit called Mr. Skipperdoo solving a crime committed by Lady Lightbug : an insect type villain who stole a section of the bridge from the city. Another version of the short had commentary from Lucius and Bob. During the short, Bob was saying how it was a good cartoon for kids while Lucius was complaining how the cartoon made his skin white instead of black.

The Incredibles was the highest-selling DVD of 2005, with 17.38 million copies sold. [28] The film was also released on UMD for the Sony PSP. [29] It was released on Blu-ray in North America on April 12, 2011 . [30] There was also a VHS release to the film on March 15, 2005, notably the Disney/Pixar film to be widely issued in VHS format (not counting Pixar's later film Cars , whose VHS release was extremely rare). [31]

The 2-disc collector's edition of The Incredibles also included many other special features, such as Incredi-Blunders, which were bloopers from certain scenes of the movie, and Top Secret NSA files of the Supers.

Reception [ ]

Critical response [ ].

Syndrome was listed at No. 64 in Wizard magazine's top 100 villains. [32]

The film received universal acclaim, with a 97% approval rating at Rotten Tomatoes [33] which, as of August 2013, made the movie the fifteenth most highly rated animated film of all time. [34] The site's consensus reads: " Even though The Incredibles is more violent than previous Pixar offerings, it still a witty and fun-filled adventure that almost lives up to its name. " [33] Metacritic, another review aggregator, indicates the film "universal acclaim" with a 90 out of 100 rating. [35]

Critic Roger Ebert awarded the film 3½ stars out of 4, writing that the film " alternates breakneck action with satire of suburban sitcom life " and is " another example of Pixar's mastery of popular animation. " [36] Peter Travers of Rolling Stone gave the film 3½ stars and called the film "one of the year's best" and said that it "doesn't ring cartoonish, it rings true." [37] Also giving the film 3½ stars, People magazine found that The Incredibles "boasts a strong, entertaining story and a truckload of savvy comic touches." [38]

Eleanor Ringel Gillespie of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution was bored by the film's recurring pastiches of earlier action films, concluding, " the Pixar whizzes do what they do excellently, you just wish they were doing something else. " [39] [40] Similarly, Jessica Winter of The Village Voice criticized the film for playing as a standard summer action film, despite being released in early November. Her review, titled as "Full Metal Racket", noted that " The Incredibles announces the studio's arrival in the vast yet overcrowded Hollywood lot of eardrum-bashing, metal-crunching action sludge. " [41]

Travers also named The Incredibles number 6 on his list of the decade's best films, writing " Of all the Pixar miracles studded through the decade, The Incredibles still delights me the most. It's not every toon that deals with midlife crisis, marital dysfunction, child neglect, impotence fears, fashion faux pas and existential angst. " [42] The National Review Online named The Incredibles No. 2 on its list of the 25 best conservative movies of the last 25 years saying that it "celebrates marriage, courage, responsibility, and high achievement." [43] Entertainment Weekly named The Incredibles No. 25 on its list of the 25 greatest action films ever. [44] Entertainment Weekly also named The Incredibles No. 7 on its list of the 20 best animated movies ever. [45] IGN ranked the film as the third favorite animated film of all time in a list published in 2010. [46]

Box Office [ ]

Despite concerns that the film would receive underwhelming results, [47] the films domestic gross was $70,467,623 in its opening weekend from 7,600 screens at 3,933 theaters, averaging $17,917 per theater or $9,272 per screen, the highest opening weekend gross for a Pixar film (the record was later broken in 2010 by Toy Story 3 , with $110,307,189), the highest November opening weekend for a Disney film (the record was broken in 2013 by Thor: The Dark World with $85.7 million), [48] the highest-opening weekend for a non-sequel animated feature (the record was broken in 2007 by The Simpsons Movie , with $74,036,787), and the highest opening weekend for a non-franchise-based film for just over five years when Avatar opened with $77,025,481. [2] The film stayed at #1 in its second weekend, grossing another $50,251,359, dropping just 29 percent, and easily outgrossing new animated opener The Polar Express . The film ultimately grossed $261,441,092, as the sixth highest-grossing Pixar film behind Toy Story 3 ($415.0 million), Finding Nemo ($380.8 million), Up ($293.0 million), Monsters, Inc. ($289.9 million), and Monsters University ($268.5 million) and the fifth highest-grossing film of 2004. [49] Worldwide, the film grossed $633 million and is the 10th highest-grossing Pixar film (behind, Incredibles 2 , Toy Story 4 , Toy Story 3 , Finding Dory , Finding Nemo , Inside Out , Coco , Monsters University , and Up ). It is also the fourth highest-grossing film of 2004 (behind Shrek 2 , Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban , and Spider-Man 2 ), the second highest-grossing animated film of 2004 (behind Shrek 2 ) and the 30th highest-grossing animated film of all time.

The film won the Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature, beating two DreamWorks films named Shrek 2 and Shark Tale , as well as Best Sound Editing at the 77th Academy Awards. It also received nominations for Best Original Screenplay (for writer/director Brad Bird) and Best Sound Mixing ( Randy Thom , Gary Rizzo , and Doc Kane ). [50] It was Pixar's first feature film to win multiple Oscars, followed in 2010 by Up . Joe Morgenstern of The Wall Street Journal called The Incredibles the year's best picture. [9] Premiere magazine released a cross-section of all the top critics in America and The Incredibles placed at number three, whereas review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes cross-referenced reviews that suggested it was its year's highest-rated film. [9]

The film also received the 2004 Annie Award for Best Animated Feature and the 2005 Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, Long Form, and it was nominated for the 2004 Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. It also won the Saturn Award for Best Animated Film. The American Film Institute nominated The Incredibles for its Top 10 Animated Films list. [51]

This film was rated PG (for action violence), the first for an animated Pixar film. The second PG rated film was Up . However, in the United Kingdom, it was rated U.

Attached Short Film [ ]

Theatrical and home video releases include Boundin' , released in 2003 , a year before this movie was released.

A short film, Jack-Jack Attack , was released exclusively on home video.

Merchandising [ ]

Several companies released promotional products related to the film. Dark Horse Comics released a limited series of comic books based on the film. [52] Kellogg's released an Incredibles-themed cereal, as well as promotional Pop-Tarts and fruit snacks, all proclaiming an "Incrediberry Blast" of flavor. [53] Pringles included potato chips featuring the superheroes and quotes from the film. [53] Furthermore, in the weeks before the film's opening, there were also promotional tie-ins with SBC Communications (using Dash to promote the "blazing-fast speed" of its SBC Yahoo! DSL service), Tide, Downy, Bounce and McDonald's. [52] Toy maker Hasbro produced a series of action figures and toys based on the film, although the line was not as successful as the film itself. [52]

In Europe, Kinder chocolate eggs contained small plastic toy characters from the film. [52] In Belgium, car manufacturer Opel sold special The Incredibles editions of their cars. [52] In the United Kingdom, Telewest promoted blueyonder internet services with branding from the film, including television adverts starring characters from the film. [52] In all merchandising outside of the film itself, Elastigirl is referred to as Mrs. Incredible. [52] This is due to a licensing agreement between Disney·Pixar and DC Comics, who has a character named Elasti-Girl (a member of the Doom Patrol ). [52] The DC Comics character is able to grow and shrink at will from microscopic size to thousands of feet tall. [52]

In July 2008, it was announced that a series of comic books based on the film would be published by BOOM! Studios in collaboration with Disney Publishing by the end of the year. [54] The first miniseries by BOOM! was The Incredibles: Family Matters by Mark Waid and Marcio Takara, which was published from March to June 2009, and collected into a trade paperback published in July of that year. [55] An ongoing series written by both Mark Waid and Landry Walker, with art by Marcio Takara and Ramanda Kamarga, began later that same year, running for sixteen issues before being cancelled in October 2010. [55] Marvel Comics began a reprint of the series in August 2011—set to possibly finish the storyline—which was abruptly cancelled, despite the production of scripts and art for a finale. [55]

Video Game [ ]

A video game based on the film was released for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, Game Boy Advance, PC, Apple Macintosh and mobiles. Though based on the film, several key scenes are altered from the original script. A second game titled The Incredibles: Rise of the Underminer was released for PlayStation 2, GameCube, Xbox, Mac OS X, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS and Windows. [56] Taking place immediately after the film, the sequel focuses on Mr. Incredible and Frozone as they do battle with the megalomaniacal mole, The Underminer. [56] A third game titled The Incredibles: When Danger Calls was released for Windows and Mac OS X. [57] It is a collection of 10 games and activities for the playable characters to perform. [57] Another game titled Kinect Rush: A Disney/Pixar Adventure was released on March 20, 2012 for Xbox 360. [58] It features characters and missions from five Pixar films: The Incredibles , Up , Cars , Ratatouille and Toy Story . [59] The Incredibles characters also star in Disney Infinity , which was released in August 2013. The play set for The Incredibles is featured in the starter pack. [60]

In 2004, when Disney owned sequel rights, they announced plans to make sequels for The Incredibles and Finding Nemo without Pixar involvement. Those plans were subsequently scrapped. When Disney acquired Pixar in 2006 , the expectation was that Pixar would create more sequels and bankable franchises. Director Brad Bird stated in 2007 that he's open to the idea of an Incredibles 2 if he comes up with an idea superior to the original film. Bird says, " I have pieces that I think are good, but I don't have them all together. " [61]

On April 26, 2011, John Lasseter confirmed there's actually no work on a sequel to The Incredibles . As he said: " We love The Incredibles . We love those characters and love that world too, but there's nothing in the works right now. " [62]

In November 2011, Brad Bird stated: " To say that I've had trouble [coming up with a story] is to say that [a sequel] has been my pursuit. I haven't really been pursuing that. I've told them that I'm not really friendly to have someone else take away my child. I would like to think that I have several good ideas that could be incorporated into a next Incredibles, but I don't have a whole movie yet, and the last thing I want to do is do it just because it would open big, or something like that. I want to do it because I have something that will be as good or better than the original. Toy Story 2 was, to me, a perfect sequel, because it absolutely respected the first film but found new places to go without selling out its characters. So if I could come up with an idea that is to Incredibles that Toy Story 2 is to Toy Story, I would do it in a second. " [63]

On May 16, 2013, Brad Bird said: "I have been thinking about it. People think that I have not been, but I have. Because I love those characters and love that world. I am stroking my chin and scratching my head. I have many, many elements that I think would work really well in another [Incredibles] film, and if I can get 'em to click all together, I would probably wanna do that. I like the idea of moving a little more quickly in films. I'm looking for ways to accelerate the pace a little bit and figure out a way to keep creative control over these movies to a level where I'm comfortable with the end result but also speed them up a bit and make more of them. I have many different films I wanna make. It's like a big airplane hangar and I have different projects on the floor; half-assembled in my brain. I'm interested in all of them. You kind of have to move on the ones people are willing to pay for and the ones you're most excited about." [64]

At the Disney shareholders meeting in March of 2014, Disney CEO and chairman Bob Iger confirmed that Pixar is in pre-production on a third Cars film and another The Incredibles film , with Bird returning as writer. [27] Later that month, Samuel L. Jackson told Digital Spy that he would likely reprise his role as Frozone in the sequel. [65]

In April 2015, Bird revealed to NPR that he has begun writing the screenplay for the sequel. [66] In May 2015, Bird confirmed that the Incredibles sequel would be his next film following Tomorrowland . [67] He also stated that the movie will not reflect trends in the superhero genre since the first film's release, explaining, " I don't think that kind of idea stays interesting for very long. ... For me, the interesting thing was never the superhero part of it. It was more the family dynamic, and how do superhero things play into that. " [68] In October 2015, Disney confirmed it to be released on June 21, 2019 . [69] However, the release date was changed due to the faster progress of the sequel than Toy Story 4 and both movies release dates were swapped. It will be release in theaters June 15, 2018. A teaser trailer was released on November 18, 2017 while a sneak peak was released during the 2018 Winter Olympics. It was revealed that Helen would be the main character of the film while Bob will have a new challenge watching the kids while Helen will fight for Super Hero Rights.

Trailers [ ]

One Pixar tradition is to create trailers for their films that do not contain footage from the released film. Trailers for this film include:

• An out-of-shape Mr. Incredible struggles to get his belt on hence, none of the Incredible Family members wear a belt in the film, and instead sport elastic waist straps.
• Another trailer for the film contains the content from the movie.

The Incredibles

Film details, brief synopsis, cast & crew, craig t. nelson, holly hunter, samuel l. jackson, dominque louis, technical specs.

Only hours before their wedding, superheroes Mr. Incredible, a man of phenomenal strength, and the flexible Elastigirl, who can stretch into any shape, are hard at work preventing crimes in Metroville. As Mr. Incredible saves a suicidal man and catches villain Bomb Voyage, insistent young fan Buddy Pine interrupts the heroic deeds to demand that he become Mr. Incredible's sidekick. Although Buddy has no super powers, as "Incrediboy" he claims that he will use amazing inventing skills to defeat villains. As Buddy boastfully demonstrates rocket boots by soaring into mid-air, Bomb Voyage attaches a bomb to the boy's cape, which falls and destroys railroad tracks below. After Mr. Incredible dutifully saves the oncoming train, he gruffly tells Buddy that he prefers to "work alone." Days later, both the aggrieved would-be suicide victim and injured train passengers sue Mr. Incredible, setting off a string of lawsuits against superheroes. Soon after, the government rules that superheroes must become regular citizens to prevent further lawsuits, which are bankrupting the government. Using the Superhero Relocation Program, Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl settle into an anonymous suburban life as Bob and Helen Parr. Fifteen years later, the Parrs have three children: infant Jack Jack, who shows no superhuman tendencies; ten-year-old Dashiell, who runs at such great speeds no one can see him; and Violet, a shy junior high school student who can become invisible as well as create impenetrable force fields. Middle-aged and overweight, Bob works as a claims adjuster at Insuricare, an insurance company that routinely rejects its clients' claims to keep profit margins high. Consumed with reliving the "old days," Bob joins his friend Lucius Best, also known as Frozone, the superhero who changes moisture into ice, every Wednesday to make anonymous rescues. Meanwhile, Dash is repeatedly sent to the principal's office for causing mischief and Violet disappears whenever Tony Rydinger, on whom she has a crush, looks at her. Helen patiently reminds the children that they must "fit in," and finds her husband's obliviousness to family concerns difficult to accept. At the office, when Bob's bureaucratic boss, Gilbert Huph, trying to squelch Bob's attempts to secretly assist his clients in getting their claims approved, threatens to fire him and refuses to allow him to stop a mugging in progress, Bob finally throws Huph through several walls in a fit of super heroic frustration. Realizing that he has blown his cover, a sulking Bob returns home worried that the latest incident will lead to one more relocation and traumatize his family. While in his office, Bob soon discovers a video device containing a message from Mirage, a female representative of a company developing the omnidroid, a five-legged monster robot. After Mirage explains that the omnidroid is threatening to destroy the company laboratory on the volcanic island of Nomanisan, Bob accepts the well-paid, top-secret assignment to stop the robot. The next morning, Bob tells Helen he is going away on Insuricare business, then takes the plane to Nomanisan. Out of practice, Bob struggles to keep pace with the omnidroid, but finally triumphs over the robot and continues to battle it over the next three months, thus helping develop the cognitive abilities of the machine, which learns from its mistakes. Upon each return to Metroville, Bob, fueled with new confidence, secretly lifts train cars to trim his waist line, spends more time with the family and rekindles his romance with Helen, who is thrilled but still unaware of his new job. One day, finding his superhero suit ripped, Bob visits high tech superhero suit designer Edna Mode, also known as E, at her ultra modern mansion. Eager for a challenge, as the superhero government restrictions have limited her work to designing for supermodels, E creates an entirely new suit for Bob and reluctantly agrees to mend the old one. On his next job at the island, Bob wears the new suit, unaware that E has implanted a homing device in it. Meanwhile, Helen becomes suspicious when she answers a call to Bob from Mirage and, after recognizing E's handiwork on the old suit, decides to visit the designer, who tells her Bob is "moonlighting hero work." When E presents her with four more new suits, especially designed for each member of the Parr family, Helen is appalled that E believes they should return to their old jobs. Meanwhile on Nomanisan, after the omnidroid finally captures Bob, the machine's mysterious owner appears and introduces himself as Syndrome. However Bob recognizes Syndrome as the now-grown-up still disgruntled Buddy and escapes into a cave, where he finds the remains of superhero Gazer Beam. After dropping a bomb, Syndrome assumes Bob is dead when his scanner finds only Gazer Beam's skeleton, behind which Bob is hiding. Bob then sneaks into the company compound, accesses files using the password "Kronos," the word Gazer Beam carved into the cave wall before dying, and discovers that Syndrome has terminated dozens of his superhero friends. Meanwhile, Helen learns that Bob was fired from Insuricare several months ago and, believing that her husband is cheating on her, bursts into tears. E reminds her, however, that as Elastigirl, she has the power to fight for her man. Borrowing a friend's jet, Helen leaves Jack Jack and Dash in Violet's care and heads for the island, which has been pinpointed by the homing device, but soon finds that Violet and Dash, dressed in their new suits, have stowed away on board. As she eludes heat-seeking missiles shot from the island, Helen radios to cease the assault. Hearing Helen's warning that her children are on board, followed by a subsequent explosion, the imprisoned Bob is crushed, believing he has lost his family. When Syndrome laughs at him, Bob threatens Mirage's life. Syndrome encourages him to kill her, but the bereft, tenderhearted Bob is unable to commit cold-blooded murder. Meanwhile as the jet explodes, Helen uses her body as a parachute to land the children safely into the ocean, then takes the shape of a boat and, with Dash's speedy feet as a motor, heads for Nomanisan. Leaving the children in a cave, Helen discerns Bob's location by spying on the heavily guarded company power grid room. Meanwhile, Mirage, disillusioned by Syndrome's disregard for her, frees Bob, who is then reunited with Helen. When a rocket carrying the omnidroid to Metroville is launched, it spews flames into the cave, forcing the children to run into the jungle where guards on armed velocipods attack them. Dash flees the approaching velocipods with his extraordinary speed, while Violet disappears to evade capture. When Dash returns to her, Violet surrounds them with a protective spherical force field, which Dash powers with his feet until they reach Bob and Helen. Working together, the family easily fends off the approaching guards; however, Syndrome soon captures and imprisons the family. He then brags that he can be the best superhero by appearing to defeat the omnidroid, which has just arrived at Metroville, by disabling it with his remote control. After Syndrome leaves, Bob admits to his family that he was obsessed with being undervalued by society, but now realizes the true value of his family. Suddenly freed by Violet's ingenuity, the family hijacks a rocket to Metroville just as Syndrome is demonstrating his supposed superhuman strength to an awestruck crowd. However, the omnidroid blasts the remote control from Syndrome's wrist, leaving him helpless. Joined by Frozone, the Incredibles use their amazing skills to defeat the omnidroid then return home, where they find Syndrome kidnapping Jack Jack. As Syndrome blasts up to his awaiting aircraft with Jack Jack, the enraged, wailing infant morphs into several forms, finally turning into a vicious beast, which frightens Syndrome into dropping him. Bob throws Helen into the sky, where she forms a parachute to safely lower Jack Jack to the ground. Meanwhile, Syndrome's cape is caught in the aircraft's turbine, killing him and causing a great explosion over the house. Protected by Violet's force field, the Incredibles survive and, weeks later return to an anonymous life. Renewed by the strength of their family and their special abilities, Violet outgrows her shyness and accepts a date with Tony, while Dash learns how to compete against mere mortals without revealing his powers. And when a new villain, the Underminer, suddenly appears and promises to wreak havoc, the Incredibles don their masks and continue their mission to protect Metroville as now-government sanctioned superheroes.

An early working title of the film was Mr. Incredible . During the opening credits, young superhero characters "Mr. Incredible," "Elastigirl" and "Frozone" are interviewed about their jobs protecting the planet. In reply, Mr. Incredible claims he is tired of the world not "staying saved," but proud of the work they do. At the end of the closing credits, thanks were given to dozens of Pixar employees and, as with other Pixar films, to babies born during the film's production. A special thanks was given to Matthew Robbins, Ollie Johnston and Frank Thomas. Thomas, who died in 2004, and Johnston were among Walt Disney's famous "Nine Old Men," a group of animators, and provided character voices as themselves at the close of the film, remarking "No school like the old school." At many theaters in which the film was shown, a Pixar animated musical short entitled "Boundin'" was shown. "Boundin'" is about a desert lamb humiliated by a sheering, whose confidence is restored by a "rebounding" Jackelope.        Animator Brad Bird, an executive consultant for the popular animated television series The Simpsons , and screenwriter-director of the 1999 animated feature The Iron Giant , proposed Mr. Incredible to Pixar executive producer John Lasseter, with whom he had been classmates at California Institute of the Arts. According to the Variety review, The Incredibles marked the first time Pixar had hired an outside filmmaker for a feature film. Bird completed his first animated film, The Tortoise and the Hare , in his early teens and was accepted as an apprentice to veteran Disney animator Milt Kahl, but had not been involved with the studio again until The Incredibles .        According to the book The Art of The Incredibles and the film's production notes, several technical advances in animation were developed for the film, including a new muscle rig called "goo," which enhanced the characters' form, "subsurface scattering" allowing character's skin to have a realistic glow and the shooting of real world elements, like leaf shadows, which were then incorporated into the animation environment. As noted in a October 28, 2004 The Times (London) article, The Incredibles was the first full-length film for Pixar to feature animated humans, rather than animals, toys or mythical figures throughout. The production notes also state that the production caused initial difficulties because of the extraordinary number of sets that were created, three times as many as Pixar normally produced for a feature. In addition, scenes in which "Dash" ran 200 m.p.h. required twice as much ground as originally planned.        Within The Incredibles several small vignettes add to the main plot, but were not included in the summary above. Among them is the repeated appearance of neighborhood boy, who, having seen "Bob Parr" lift his car with a single hand, shows up on his tricycle daily to see if something even more fantastic is happening. At the close of film, the boy is finally satisfied when he sees Elastigirl using her body as a parachute to carry "Jack Jack" to the ground followed by "Invisible Girl" covering the family in a force field to protect them from the debris of "Syndrome's" exploding ship. Another recurring theme is the questionable nature of a superhero's cape. When Bob requests a cape for his new superhero suit, "E" rattles off numerous superhero deaths caused by the excessive fabric, which are illustrated onscreen. According to several reviews of the film, Brad Bird, who provided the voice for E, claimed that he designed that character as part Japanese and part German and with no real person in mind. However, the reviews note, striking similarities exist between the character and Hollywood costume designer Edith Head and Vogue magazine editor Anna Wintour.        The film was displayed in 2.39:1 Scope, a widescreen ratio that requires more attention to masking than the standard 1.85:1. A October 27, 2004 Hollywood Reporter article noted that Pixar, Buena Vista Distribution and Dolby Production Services sponsored a contest to honor the best presentation of the film, to encourage projectionists' craft. According to an October 11, 2004 Hollywood Reporter article, THQ subsidiary Heavy Iron Studios worked with Pixar to create a video game version of the film in which most of the film's actors reprised their roles. A Hindi version of the film, entitled Hum hain lajawab (We Are Incredible) and starring Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan as the voice of Mr. Incredible, was released at the same time as the original.        According to a October 22, 2004 Hollywood Reporter article, Disney ran the largest promotional campaign for an animated feature for The Incredibles , including television spots for SBC, McDonald's, Procter & Gamble and Kellogg. The television ads often featured original animation created specifically for them by Pixar. As noted in a January 3, 2005 Los Angeles Times news article, according to Exhibitor Relations, the film finished fourth in domestic box-office grosses, taking in $262.5 million as of January 3, 2005, and sixth in international box-office grosses for films released in 2004.        The Incredibles completed a five-film contract between the Emeryville, CA-based animation company Pixar and the Walt Disney Company, a relationship that started in 1995 with the film Toy Story , and was the first Pixar film to receive a "PG" rating instead of a "G" rating. According to a April 22, 2002 Hollywood Reporter news item, a dispute between Pixar and Disney began when Disney refused to include Toy Story 2 as part of the pact, claiming that sequels were not stipulated in the contract. Other films included in the contract were Toy Story , A Bug's Life , Monsters, Inc. and Finding Nemo , all films that Lasseter either directed or produced. According to October and November 2004 WSJ articles, the relationship would end in 2005. As of January 2005, the now popular and profitable Pixar, headed by chairman and chief executive officer Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple Computer Company, had yet to sign with a new distribution company.        In addition to being selected as one of the AFI's Top Ten films of 2004, The Incredibles was cited as the Best Animated Feature of the year by the National Board of Review, the New York Film Critics Circle and the Los Angeles Film Critics Association. Using both jazz and 1960s spy film scores as inspiration, composer Michael Giacchino, well-known for his work in television on shows such as Alias and Lost , worked closely with Bird on his first film score. Many reviews lauded Giacchino for his work, and the composer was awarded with Best Music Score by the Los Angeles Film Critics. The picture was also nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture-Musical or Comedy by the Hollywood Foreign Press and for a Darryl F. Zanuck award as the year's best production by the Producers Guild of America. The Incredibles received the following four Academy Award nominations: Best Animated Feature, Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Mixing and Best Original Screenplay. The film also won several Annie Awards, which are presented by the International Animated Film Society, including Best Animated Feature.

Alternate versions

The incredibles.

• In the Argentinian version of the movie, not only the newspapers headlines are written in Spanish, but also streets names are changed: the characters make references to Buenos Aires City street names, such as Callao, Corrientes, and many others.
• All non-US version are altered in the scene in which Mr. Incredible is looking at his wall of fame with newspaper clips. In the US version, the headings are all in English; in the international versions, the headings are in different foreign languages including French, Spanish, German and Japanese.
• In European versions, several inscriptions during Mr. Incredible's search on the villain's main computer have been replaced with generic graphical symbols. For instance, "Location: Unknown" is replaced by a question mark in front of a globe, "Location: Known" is replaced by a highlighted map section, and "Terminated" is replaced by a red diagonal line.
• The Indian release is dubbed in Hindi and renamed "Hum Hain Lajawaab." In this version, Mr. Incredible is known as Mr. Lajawaab and is voiced by the hugely popular Bollywood actor 'Shahrukh Khan'. Dash is known as Tez and is voiced by Khan's son, Aryan Khan .
• On the original (R1) DVD, Bomb Voyage's subtitles are burned in, and only translate 3 things ("Mr. Incredible...!", "Little oaf...!", and "And your outfit is totally ridiculous!"). On the Blu-ray (and accompanying DVD copy), the subtitles are player-generated, and add "IncrediBoy?" when he says that. The UHD release preserves the burnt-in subtitles.
• Bomb Voyage is renamed Folamour and voiced by French voice actor Patrick Osmund, who is famous for his voice roles of Michael Keaton from Tim Burton's Batman (1989), in the French version under the title Les Indestructibles. The Japanese dub version, titled Mr. Incredible, contains all the exact Patrick Osmund's original French dialogues.
• The Malaysian VCD release has the opening logos and interviews (except the last interview with Elastigirl) stretched 2% horizontally almost missing details for the text on the Disney and Pixar logos.
• In the German version, newspaper headlines are localized into German. The DVD contains both English and German versions, which are switched by selecting the respective language from the menu.
