It’s sad to imagine that all those heroes Syndrome lured to the island, some of whom were Bob’s closest friends, all just wanted to relive their glory days just like he did. Frozone’s line of “I don’t see anyone from the old days Bob. Just you.” is a lot darker now.
@Lemon_Force Though a bunch of them died as a result of accidents done by their capes (in Splashdown's case, he went missing and so far hasn't appeared again, so he might still be alive).
One of the worst things about Bob's situation is that it's revealed in the Special Edition DVDs that among Bob's powers is a sort of Sixth Sense that allows him to sort of "sense" where immediate danger is. It's actually sort of implied if you look closely when Bob notices something wrong after saving that Jumper and Bomb Voyage blows a hole in the building wall after, or when Bob immediately notices someone getting mugged when his boss is lecturing him or when Bob is sneaking back home from a night of vigilantism and immediately noticed someone else in the room with him, only to find that it's Helen. So imagine living 15 years, knowing when and where nearby danger was that could potentially hurt people and not being able to do a damn thing about it. No wonder Bob is depressed after the time jump.
I didn’t even think of it as a power but a work hazard. Like how when you become a nurse or a doctor, it makes your brain do self evaluations and makes you a difficult patient. Bob has been doing it for so long that he knows when something’s off. That’s how I interpreted it
Syndrome acted like a superhero for only 1 minute & he made 3 major mistakes: 1) He threw the truck behind him without caring if it would crush anyone or explode. 2) He started celebrating that he damaged the robot despite the fact it wasn't defeated yet. 3) Once the robot attacked him he fled in the direction of the civilians he was trying to save. It's no wonder that after The Incredibles & Frozone defeated the robot later nobody seemed to remember Syndrome or care that he was missing.
On that first one, there was probably someone IN that truck too. There's actually quite a bit of death in this movie that they just kind of, ignore. Lol, a lot of movies do that not that I think about it.
Frankly, all of those things are features of a supervillain, so it's perfectly ironic that when Syndrome is a hero, his worst traits as a supervillain come out.
8:46 "He's not alone. The fat guy's still with him." The scary thing is that Mirage was initially looking for Frozone, and only confirmed that the "fat guy" was Mr. Incredible after she saw their fire rescue. This means they already knew Frozone's location AND secret identity. They found Bob by accident. Syndrome would've definitely killed Frozone if she had recruited him instead, and she only took Bob because he was the one Syndrome wanted revenge on the most. Luckily for Bob, he and his family were strong enough to stop Syndrome from killing any more supers.
@@C-Bread26Oh geezus... 😬 😨 That's terrifying!!! If a burning building could've taken him out if Mr. Incredible wasn't there to bust them out, then a volcano with a learning robot cornering him there would've been an excruciatingly hot and scary end for Frozone. 😭
I get that his family is his weakness. And he was afraid of losing them. Sure, working alone is what he does. But he doesn't know what happened if he face something worse not even his strength alone is not strong enough.
@@johnsantos507 not only that. he already had to experience the feeling of loosing his family just hours before, when the jet got shot by the missles. this must be horribly soul crushingand when faced with that moment again, he just tries to keep everyone save
Syndromes name comes from the psychological phenomenon known as Hero's Syndrome. Basically it refers to someone who thinks he's a hero, and will even create life and death scenarios so he can step in and make himself the hero that saves the day.
Some notes... because I'm a geek. 1: In the prologue, they all wind up living with the exact opposite philosophies. Bob wants to settle down; misses the good old days. Helen doesn't want to retire; becomes super-mom. Lucius wants to remain single; settles down with Honey. 2: Lily Tomlin went to audition for the role of Edna. Brad Bird did the voice and asked if she could do it, and she replied, "What do you need me for? You got it already." 3: When Bob and Helen argue after Bob's night out with the fire, him being such a large character on screen gave it the feeling of being very close to spousal abuse, which is why they had Helen get louder AND taller than Bob. 4: The "100 Mile Dash" was the only action sequence written out IN DETAIL in the script, because Brad Bird had it specifically laid out in his head. 5: The kid at the end that shouts, "That was totally wicked," was Brad Bird's son. Okay, I'm done rambling. Great reaction. And, yes, "Incredibles 2" next! 😊
The two old guys who said "You see that? That's the old school!" "Yep. No school's like the old school." are caricatures of Legendary Animators Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston, two of the Nine Old Men who animated the old pre-Disney Renaissance movies from Snow White to The Fox and the Hound. They were also voiced by Thomas and Johnston, were mentors to Brad Bird and whenever he showed his works in progress, including The Incredibles, they came up with constructive criticism for how to improve the story. They also made cameos as Train Engineers on Brad's first movie The Iron Giant. Sadly Frank passec away in November 2004, a couple of weeks before the premiere, so he didn't get the chance to see the complete movie in life.
That was a lovely tribute and I'm glad to see this bit of trivia acknowledged in the comments. However, I would like to add a minor correction about the end. Frank Thomas actually passed away in September 2004. Specifically, he died on September 8, 2004, 3 days after his 92nd birthday and nearly 2 months before the film's release.
I friggin' LOVE the soundtrack to The Incredibles! They recorded it with a live band on analog wax cylinders to give it that authentic old-timey feel/sound.
Rusty the bicycle kid is voiced by director Brad Bird's youngest son Nick, who also was Squirt in Finding Nemo. His older brother Michael played Tony Rydinger. Brad's middle son Jack was the namesake for Jack-Jack and his wife was the inspiration for Helen Parr.
21:34 fun fact, originally Snug was gonna go with Helen as her pilot and would die from the explosion. The shot where she looks down to the sinking debris of the jet would end with a close up of Snug's hat.
*_How_* I of all people; Autistic with Asperger Syndrome, emotionally manipulated by "PeOpLe" whose opinions I disagree with & outright hate, & more interested in stuff like this than NFL & Rodeo, missed that, is beyond me!
While it's never said on-screen, the film takes place in an alternate 1960s United States where they have modern day technology like computers, drones, & A.I. (or at least the 2004 equivalent versions of them).
Don't forget - the device Mirage sneaks into Bob's bag is pretty much an iPad. (Pixar overlaps heavily with Apple and Steve Jobs personally oversaw pretty much all of their works, so the idea cross-pollination is natural)
With how many real life technological innovations are derived from military development, and how Syndrome got his wealth by selling weapons to various countries, I'd be willing to bet that the tech level of the Incredibles' world was inadvertently accelerated several decades by Syndrome's technical genius. If only he put that intelligence to something other than his inferiority complex of 15 years.
When you think about it, The Incredibles is 1 of the Darkest Disney films given it's 1 of the few with a confirmed body count of more then just a few characters. Sure, as far as I can tell Atlantis The Lost Empire had the most, but considering most Disney films have at most just a handful of deaths, knowing that at least a dozen Supers were killed by Syndrome, a few others were killed from their capes, several of his guards were killed by the Incredibles, & the way he dies at the end is all pretty dark for a Disney film.
A channel did an analysis, I think it was SuperCarlinBrothers, and they concluded The Lion King has the highest body count due to the damage Scar and the hyenas do to the environment and landscape.
There's a fan theory that when Syndrome started out on his revenge plan, he went to Edna to have her make him a super suit, & since she missed those days she probably was alright with making him a suit. However, she included the cape with his super suit because she sensed he wanted it for bad reasons, & she likely thought it could backfire on him like it did for other Supers.
I would LOVE to see a short film, 15-30 minutes long, about this meeting. A late teens to early 20's version of Buddy Pine, passing himself off as a mere enthusiastic civilian with more money than sense, and Edna playing along while detecting all the various ways he's not a good egg. The twist at the end is that Edna was in financial straights, and he overcharged Syndrome to get back in the red.
I think it makes more sense that he just made his suit himself. I mean with all the other tech he has it would be trivially easy to make a suit at least on the same level as Edna's work.
I used to love this movie as a kid and still do to this day and I was 4 when this came out and I am 24 years old now. I went back and watched this a few years ago on Blu-ray and a Soundbar. And it felt like I was at the movie theater. So when I saw this in my notifications I was like yes let's go! Happy 4th of July everyone! Love your vids Ange
Cracked my back one time when I really needed it, felt the fluid pour into the cavity that was there, so relieved that I fell asleep for 3 and a half hours. Haven't been able to repeat that ever since.
Fun fact. The reason 'Bob' is a nickname for 'Robert', and 'Dick' used to be a nickname for 'Richard' (before *another* meaning of that word got more popular) was from a nickname convention from the 1700-1800s. Basically the pattern was, take the first syllable from your name, then chose something that *rhymes* with it. Rob, Bob for example. I don't know why we don't have more old nicknames like that, or why only a few survived until now, but yeah. That's why we have traditional nicknames for some names.
Amongst the things you don't notice as a kid, but pick up on as an adult, the memo on Bob's boss' desk details more penny-pinching schemes of his, including employees having to pay for their own office supplies, a by-the-hour parking fee, and pay deductions for phone calls and electricity use. There is further speculation about what happens to the company after Bob is fired, namely that either the CEO is terminated or the company goes bankrupt from legal issues because the CEO would rather look profitable than do the job of an insurance company.
Originally, Helen wasn't going to fly the jet. Instead, it was gonna be Snug that we see on the photo when he says on the phone "Let me think...". He was going to die in the explosion and after Helen got into the water when the plane wreck crashes into the sea, she saw Snug's cap float up and after making Violet and Dash calm down, Dash asks what happened to Snug, to which she would shake her head in sorrow. The kids gasps and look at each other when they realized he died. Executive Producer John Lasseter thought that Helen should be the pilot but director Brad Bird was adamant on having Smug cuz he wanted a price to be payed, that someone had to die (that is a good guy). Later Brad realized that Lasseter was right as the scene was less intense when Snug piloted the jet, plus it necessitated a whole new character model to be made, a set with a hangar and landing strip, not to mention a whole scene or two with Snug so you'd feel sorry for him when he died later.
It's stories like this that make me wish I'd gone into writing or animation when I was choosing my path. I legit can't imagine it any other way but I also wish I could see the version that would have existed with that story beat.
Lily Tomlin was originally supposed to voice Edna. Brad started using this Edna voice to show her what he wanted her to do, and she goes, "What do you need me for?"
The scene of Mr Incredible losing vision from the inflating bubble trap as Mirage walks up looks like something from a Carmen Sandiago game when you get caught lol
About the throwing things part. Did you know that before guns, soldiers were trained in throwing rocks, just because there are often rocks around. If you weren't a slinger, bow man, crossbow man or help to any of those. being able to throw rocks well would come in handy
This movie brings back memories how my dad tells me that like Dash, I was obsessed of being fast and loved running around. Later on, as I got older, I took it down a little since I stared to add some weight that kinda affected me. However, after watching myself from now on, I still have that spirit. So much so that when I became a Sonic the Hedgehog gamer, I got the need for speed. Hell, I even have a customized license plate frame with his catchphrase engraved on it. Catch you later for the sequel since that took 14 years to make. Now, if you excuse me, Gotta Go Fast. 🏃💙
This is legit one of my top 5 movies of all time because of one line. "This is Not. ABOUT. YOU!" is literally my favorite line of all time and how I operate every day. I genuinely am happy to do things for other people because it makes their day better and it's not about me getting anything back. It's not a perfect philosophy because I don't often put my own boundaries out there but it's definitely a big part of who I am. It certainly helps that the music is an absolute banger, bit I may be biased as I have a masters in music performance
Syndrome knew where Mr. Incredible lived, so he went to their home to plot some kind of revenge and he happened to get there while Kari was baby sitting Jack-Jack, so he went along being a professional baby sitter to take the advantage against The Parrs. You can see how Kari handled Jack-Jack in the short Jack-Jack Attack which is on the DVD, Blu-ray and on Disney+.
26:28 Umm no she didn’t girl. Mirage ALREADY knew Bob was married. And Bob hugged HER…not vice versa. Only think Mirage did wrong was work for Syndrome
I think this is one of a few Pixar movies I can quote almost word for word. Its been THAT ingrained in me. So many iconic moments in this movie: The montage of Bob getting back into the swing of things, the wonder that is EDNA MODE, "Wheres my supersuit?!" (Or really just Frozone in general), Violet and Dash hamster-balling through Nomansian Island, Dash RUNNING ON WATER OMG!
editor in disbelief that you where right at 7:15 haha love it haha but same never noticed that and ive seen this film more times then id like to count haha
When young Syndrome gets in the car at the beginning, Mr. Incredible calls him Brodie before remembering his name is Buddy. This is a reference to Jason Lee's character in the woefully underrated Mallrats.
Even better that director Brad Bird recorded her dialogue as a temp track, and then they realized there was nobody who could do Edna better. Also, Bunny and Syndrome were modeled after Brad Bird, who never recognized the resemblance until the crew told him.
Known for his work on The Simpsons and making The Iron Giant, 25 years ago. Animation legend Brad Bird truly created an classic and it still stands after 20 years. The comic book superhero vibe and family story dymanic definitely pulls from the Marvel age of comics (1960s) with Stan Lee & Jack Kirby's Fantastic Four. Great cast of voices, storytelling is great with all the humor, action and drama. The original score is great and it's composer was wide open for more great scores including the MCU's Homecoming trilogy of Spider-Man. Buddy/Syndrome's face and hair, Edna E. Mode's voice actor. It's Brad Bird himself (cool idea). This one got two Oscars: Best Animated Feature and Sound Editing. The 'Jac Jac Attack' short film is hilarious, gotta watch that one. Incredibles 2 did take a long time to make happen. It was the worth wait and just as entertaining. RIP to Elizabeth Peña to Mirage.
"Definitely a dysfunctional family... but I absolutely love it" Said everyone who's seen this movie at least once. I - and a Heck ton of others who've seen it; I haven't - absolutely hate that nowhere near as much energy was put into a sequel.
I saw this movie in theaters when I was four, my parents tell me that when they are in the camper spinning uncontrollably I yelled "my mom also drives like that" (my mom was very good at the wheel, so skilled and drove very fast), so this movie makes me remember her
Please can we get Edna's backstory movie? Pleeeeeeeaase? Here's how I'd pitch it: No rags to riches story. We've got enough of those, and we all know goddamn well Edna Mode is too fabulous to have come from nothing. Born into the high life fashion world, the thing that makes her different is a desire to design for supers, as well as a genius with tech. Think rich girl who had all the resources to make a difference, except she actually did. She made a name for herself by being the first designer to incorporate their powers into the suit. We see her become the icon we know her to be. Life couldn't be better. Then the cape controversy happens, and supers dying from cape related accidents start appearing regularly in the papers. The movies about her coming back on top despite it. Maybe even show that the other designers were paid by bad guys to add capes, but Edna only did it because she thought it was the trend, so of course because the other designers have some kind of protection, her name is essentially the only one being smeared. I should reiterate: DO NOT ABSOLVE HER OF GUILT. Make it very clear she made a serious mistake that cost many innocent supers' lives, but that doesn't mean she should have to pay for it the rest of her life. How does she do it? She remembers who she is, and what her God given talent is: designing super suits with the supers in mind. And thus, she threatens to start firing anyone who dares to try and add capes to her designs going forward, but because all these people have worked with her for years, not one of them dare to contradict her. If she says no capes, no capes it shall be. Before long, the cape trend dies out until they're only ever seen in Halloween costumes, and cape related accidents never darken a newspaper headline again. Until the ending, where Edna's walking out of a room for a meeting, leaving behind a newspaper showing a super being slandered in the papers, thus starting the lawsuits.
Pixar Studios is located in the San Francisco Bay Area in Emeryville Ca. And uses multiple real world places from here in the "Bay" throughout all of their films are instantly recognizable by Bay Area residents. Example the final battle scene happens around real world Lake Merritt in Oakland along with the freeway scene or Fenton's ice cream parlour in Pixar's "Up" movie.👏🏾😉👍🏾👏🏾
Ummm can we talk about how fucking STRONG Elastigirl is? Suspending an RV from a plane for a whole journey and @31:20 Picking up a manhole cover and whipping it around a post both just make me swoon.
I may have only just realised this, but Mirage originally wasn't looking for Mr Incredible, she only refered to him as "the fat one" while tracking frozone. So when bob throws his boss through a wall, he outs himself as a super, and then when he refuses to be relocated for the sake of his family, he allows Mirage/syndrome to find him
Angelina might be one of my favorite people, gaming Incredibles fan, super bubbly and fun, as well as an athlete. Not only do I want to be around Angelina, but I also want to be Angelina. So cool. Also Mirage is voiced by Elizabeth Peña.
32:58 ❤ the voice acting in this movie is absolutely gold standard but holly hunter's voice acting is golden right here, she sounds desperate and absolutely terrified
Fun fact: This film pokes fun at Marvel and DC. Here’s what I mean Elastigirl = Mr. Fantastic from Fantastic Four Violet = Invisible Woman from Fantastic Four Dash = The Flash Frozone = Iceman from X-Men Gazerbeam = Cyclops from X-Men The Underminer = The Mole Man from Fantastic Four
Hi Angelina, nice reaction. It's sooooooo hard to pick a 'best' movie from Pixar, there are so many truly great ones: Wall-e, Toy Story, Monsters Inc, The Incredibles, etc. BTW, a (belated) happy 4th, to all across the pond. ; )
23:45 Bob wants to get free, but you can still see the tears in his eyes as he threatens to kill Mirage because he thinks he's just lost his family, and because he has a moral compass.
24:45 Violet is closed off and unsure about her abilities, and by 26:40 she's wearing a headband that pulls her hair out of her face. 27:54 Violet shows what she's made of
I actually watched this movie when it came out on DVD and sometime after my parents divorced. My dad bought it and I watched it with him and it's still my favorite Pixar movie. Now that my siblings have watched it too, they always like to say "where's my super suit!? In front of me and they like to hear me finish that whole argument 😂.
I like the subtle detail that Syndrome was so focused on making the robot powerful enough to stop Mr. Incredible, that he supposedly never built the robot to take down a team of supers all at once. It was literally made to focus on one hero.
Dash would probably be the one kid that would actually be able to keep up with a puppy if they got him one. He'd have to learn a bit of responsibility about like cleaning up for it and stuff but he would NOT slack on walkies EVER!
I once watched a video questioning the laws used at the beginning of this movie, and they were surprisingly accurate based on the years involved if I remember correctly.
Looking forward to the commentary that I'm sure is coming of the third (and final) Matrix. Would love to see commentaries of the, at least first two Mummy movies.
If you're planning on watching Incredibles 2 make sure you also includes the Jack Jack attack short in front and the Edna short afterwards in your commentary video
Firmly with you on this one Ange, definitely the best Pixar film. Cool action, hilarious comedy, compelling drama, some scary bits, and the best James Bond score ever written for a film that wasn't a Bond film - this thing has everything!
I remember the first time I saw the trailer. That was before Michael Giacchino had his score together, and maybe before he was hired. The trailer used the instrumental opening theme from On Her Majesty's Secret Service, possibly my favorite Bond movie and certainly my favorite Bond score. (For Your Eyes Only is the best song, but never mind about that.) I have to believe that Giacchino was influenced heavily by John Barry's Bond scores, just as the filmmakers were influenced by the look and the dialogue of the Sean Connery era Bond films. Just another reason I love this flick.
I was picked on for years after this movie came out bc my nickname is Kari, spelled and pronounced just like the babysitter lol. That being said, I still adore this film!
Happy July 4th to my American homies ❤ Incredibles 2 next???
Thanks Ange!!!
Happy 4th July and yes to Incredibles 2🎊

Thanks you 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks 😁😁

I am so envious of that back cracking.
Holly Hunter learned pilot lingo for the missle attack scene
There's a fan theory that when Syndrome started out on his revenge plan, he went to Edna to have her make him a super suit, & since she missed those days she probably was alright with making him a suit. However, she included the cape with his super suit because she sensed he wanted it for bad reasons, & she likely thought it could backfire on him like it did for other Supers.
I've never heard that theory but I really like it. It sounds like the type of contingency Edna would think up.
I would LOVE to see a short film, 15-30 minutes long, about this meeting. A late teens to early 20's version of Buddy Pine, passing himself off as a mere enthusiastic civilian with more money than sense, and Edna playing along while detecting all the various ways he's not a good egg. The twist at the end is that Edna was in financial straights, and he overcharged Syndrome to get back in the red.
I think it makes more sense that he just made his suit himself. I mean with all the other tech he has it would be trivially easy to make a suit at least on the same level as Edna's work.
I NEVER get tired of the "Where's my super suit?" scene! 🤣
The fact that Brad Bird is the voice of Edna always makes me laugh. I love it.
I used to love this movie as a kid and still do to this day and I was 4 when this came out and I am 24 years old now. I went back and watched this a few years ago on Blu-ray and a Soundbar. And it felt like I was at the movie theater. So when I saw this in my notifications I was like yes let's go! Happy 4th of July everyone! Love your vids Ange
replayed the back crack 50 times out of envy
Cracked my back one time when I really needed it, felt the fluid pour into the cavity that was there, so relieved that I fell asleep for 3 and a half hours. Haven't been able to repeat that ever since.
😂😂😂
Fun fact. The reason 'Bob' is a nickname for 'Robert', and 'Dick' used to be a nickname for 'Richard' (before *another* meaning of that word got more popular) was from a nickname convention from the 1700-1800s. Basically the pattern was, take the first syllable from your name, then chose something that *rhymes* with it. Rob, Bob for example. I don't know why we don't have more old nicknames like that, or why only a few survived until now, but yeah. That's why we have traditional nicknames for some names.
Imagine if the nickname for people called Thomas was "Pom", or people called Alan was "Jal". It would be very confusing!
@@lpsp442more like Bom and Pal
Amongst the things you don't notice as a kid, but pick up on as an adult, the memo on Bob's boss' desk details more penny-pinching schemes of his, including employees having to pay for their own office supplies, a by-the-hour parking fee, and pay deductions for phone calls and electricity use. There is further speculation about what happens to the company after Bob is fired, namely that either the CEO is terminated or the company goes bankrupt from legal issues because the CEO would rather look profitable than do the job of an insurance company.
Poetic justice!
Originally, Helen wasn't going to fly the jet. Instead, it was gonna be Snug that we see on the photo when he says on the phone "Let me think...". He was going to die in the explosion and after Helen got into the water when the plane wreck crashes into the sea, she saw Snug's cap float up and after making Violet and Dash calm down, Dash asks what happened to Snug, to which she would shake her head in sorrow. The kids gasps and look at each other when they realized he died. Executive Producer John Lasseter thought that Helen should be the pilot but director Brad Bird was adamant on having Smug cuz he wanted a price to be payed, that someone had to die (that is a good guy). Later Brad realized that Lasseter was right as the scene was less intense when Snug piloted the jet, plus it necessitated a whole new character model to be made, a set with a hangar and landing strip, not to mention a whole scene or two with Snug so you'd feel sorry for him when he died later.
It's stories like this that make me wish I'd gone into writing or animation when I was choosing my path. I legit can't imagine it any other way but I also wish I could see the version that would have existed with that story beat.
Lily Tomlin was originally supposed to voice Edna.
Brad started using this Edna voice to show her what he wanted her to do, and she goes, "What do you need me for?"
Actually that was Lily Tomlin who was considered for Edna's voice
U got me monologuing !!😂😂
A true classic like The Incredibles never goes out of style! 🎥🔥
My mom dressed up as Elastigirl last halloween and she'll do it again this year.
Cool
there is a theory that Edna made buddy's suit with a cape because she saw the evil in him
I just watched it today on DVD to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the release! 😊❤️
I just now noticed this, but the lady that gets denied the insurance claim was the lady who had a cat stuck in the tree
Oooh j'adore !
Merci c'était drôle de te voir connaître les répliques.
"I can't lose you again" always gets me.
The scene of Mr Incredible losing vision from the inflating bubble trap as Mirage walks up looks like something from a Carmen Sandiago game when you get caught lol
Such a great movie, and I know it’s an unpopular opinion but I really like the sequel too
Dash's scene will always be one of my favorite when it comes to showing off Superspeed, next to Quicksilver's Sweet Dreams scene in X-Men.
About the throwing things part. Did you know that before guns, soldiers were trained in throwing rocks, just because there are often rocks around. If you weren't a slinger, bow man, crossbow man or help to any of those. being able to throw rocks well would come in handy
Incredibles pulls off such realistic and scary themes so expertly well it's, for lack of a better word, incredible
This movie brings back memories how my dad tells me that like Dash, I was obsessed of being fast and loved running around. Later on, as I got older, I took it down a little since I stared to add some weight that kinda affected me. However, after watching myself from now on, I still have that spirit. So much so that when I became a Sonic the Hedgehog gamer, I got the need for speed. Hell, I even have a customized license plate frame with his catchphrase engraved on it. Catch you later for the sequel since that took 14 years to make. Now, if you excuse me, Gotta Go Fast. 🏃💙
This is legit one of my top 5 movies of all time because of one line. "This is Not. ABOUT. YOU!" is literally my favorite line of all time and how I operate every day. I genuinely am happy to do things for other people because it makes their day better and it's not about me getting anything back.
It's not a perfect philosophy because I don't often put my own boundaries out there but it's definitely a big part of who I am.
It certainly helps that the music is an absolute banger, bit I may be biased as I have a masters in music performance
Syndrome knew where Mr. Incredible lived, so he went to their home to plot some kind of revenge and he happened to get there while Kari was baby sitting Jack-Jack, so he went along being a professional baby sitter to take the advantage against The Parrs.
You can see how Kari handled Jack-Jack in the short Jack-Jack Attack which is on the DVD, Blu-ray and on Disney+.
26:28
Umm no she didn’t girl. Mirage ALREADY knew Bob was married. And Bob hugged HER…not vice versa. Only think Mirage did wrong was work for Syndrome
I think this is one of a few Pixar movies I can quote almost word for word. Its been THAT ingrained in me.
So many iconic moments in this movie: The montage of Bob getting back into the swing of things, the wonder that is EDNA MODE, "Wheres my supersuit?!" (Or really just Frozone in general), Violet and Dash hamster-balling through Nomansian Island, Dash RUNNING ON WATER OMG!
Happy 4th of July Angelinaa 🎉
editor in disbelief that you where right at 7:15 haha love it haha but same never noticed that and ive seen this film more times then id like to count haha
When young Syndrome gets in the car at the beginning, Mr. Incredible calls him Brodie before remembering his name is Buddy. This is a reference to Jason Lee's character in the woefully underrated Mallrats.
Edna being voiced by a guy was a mind blower
Even better that director Brad Bird recorded her dialogue as a temp track, and then they realized there was nobody who could do Edna better. Also, Bunny and Syndrome were modeled after Brad Bird, who never recognized the resemblance until the crew told him.
“And got busy!” Gets me every time 😂 we were too young to understand this adult joke.
8:21 The funniest thing about that line is it implies that this isn't the first time Dash has done this.
That sneaky edit at 6:07 😂😂 well played lol
Angelina-That was a FANTASTIC Reaction Video!!!
Please give the Star Trek franchise a chance.
Pls no 💀
Known for his work on The Simpsons and making
The Iron Giant, 25 years ago.
Animation legend Brad Bird truly created an classic and
it still stands after 20 years.
The comic book superhero vibe and family story dymanic
definitely pulls from the Marvel age of comics (1960s) with
Stan Lee & Jack Kirby's Fantastic Four.
Great cast of voices, storytelling is great with all the humor, action and drama.
The original score is great and it's composer was wide open for
more great scores including the MCU's Homecoming trilogy of Spider-Man.
Buddy/Syndrome's face and hair, Edna E. Mode's voice actor.
It's Brad Bird himself (cool idea).
This one got two Oscars: Best Animated Feature and Sound Editing.
The 'Jac Jac Attack' short film is hilarious, gotta watch that one.
Incredibles 2 did take a long time to make happen.
It was the worth wait and just as entertaining.
RIP to Elizabeth Peña to Mirage.
Angelina Awesome Video Today!!🔥🐐🐐💎
"Definitely a dysfunctional family... but I absolutely love it"
Said everyone who's seen this movie at least once.
I - and a Heck ton of others who've seen it; I haven't - absolutely hate that nowhere near as much energy was put into a sequel.
I saw this movie in theaters when I was four, my parents tell me that when they are in the camper spinning uncontrollably I yelled "my mom also drives like that" (my mom was very good at the wheel, so skilled and drove very fast), so this movie makes me remember her
Jumanji animators cracked the hair problem. The animators of this movie solved the wet hair code.
Two reactions today on the 4th of July?! Nice!
Please can we get Edna's backstory movie? Pleeeeeeeaase?
Here's how I'd pitch it:
No rags to riches story. We've got enough of those, and we all know goddamn well Edna Mode is too fabulous to have come from nothing.
Born into the high life fashion world, the thing that makes her different is a desire to design for supers, as well as a genius with tech. Think rich girl who had all the resources to make a difference, except she actually did.
She made a name for herself by being the first designer to incorporate their powers into the suit.
We see her become the icon we know her to be. Life couldn't be better.
Then the cape controversy happens, and supers dying from cape related accidents start appearing regularly in the papers.
The movies about her coming back on top despite it.
Maybe even show that the other designers were paid by bad guys to add capes, but Edna only did it because she thought it was the trend, so of course because the other designers have some kind of protection, her name is essentially the only one being smeared.
I should reiterate: DO NOT ABSOLVE HER OF GUILT. Make it very clear she made a serious mistake that cost many innocent supers' lives, but that doesn't mean she should have to pay for it the rest of her life.
How does she do it? She remembers who she is, and what her God given talent is: designing super suits with the supers in mind.
And thus, she threatens to start firing anyone who dares to try and add capes to her designs going forward, but because all these people have worked with her for years, not one of them dare to contradict her. If she says no capes, no capes it shall be.
Before long, the cape trend dies out until they're only ever seen in Halloween costumes, and cape related accidents never darken a newspaper headline again.
Until the ending, where Edna's walking out of a room for a meeting, leaving behind a newspaper showing a super being slandered in the papers, thus starting the lawsuits.
I like it
Pixar Studios is located in the San Francisco Bay Area in Emeryville Ca. And uses multiple real world places from here in the "Bay" throughout all of their films are instantly recognizable by Bay Area residents. Example the final battle scene happens around real world Lake Merritt in Oakland along with the freeway scene or Fenton's ice cream parlour in Pixar's "Up" movie.👏🏾😉👍🏾👏🏾
Ummm can we talk about how fucking STRONG Elastigirl is? Suspending an RV from a plane for a whole journey and @31:20 Picking up a manhole cover and whipping it around a post both just make me swoon.
I may have only just realised this, but Mirage originally wasn't looking for Mr Incredible, she only refered to him as "the fat one" while tracking frozone.
So when bob throws his boss through a wall, he outs himself as a super, and then when he refuses to be relocated for the sake of his family, he allows Mirage/syndrome to find him
no, they already knew cause bob ran through a wall in the burning building
They found out he was Mr. Incredible when he ran through a wall.
@@locochoify i pretty much said that
Angelina, your reactions are genuinely, literally so cute 😘
6:49 It's Vizzini!! Wallace Shawns voice is unmistakable! how did I not know he was in this until now?! must have forgotten. been a while.
It's been a while since I seen your reactions so this is great 😄👏🏻
Thank you!! 😁
Angelina might be one of my favorite people, gaming Incredibles fan, super bubbly and fun, as well as an athlete. Not only do I want to be around Angelina, but I also want to be Angelina. So cool.
Also Mirage is voiced by Elizabeth Peña.
32:58 ❤ the voice acting in this movie is absolutely gold standard but holly hunter's voice acting is golden right here, she sounds desperate and absolutely terrified
The Incredibles 2 takes everything *incredible* about the first one and just amplifies it by 100. So good. Please, Angelina, The Incredibles 2 ❤🖤
I always forget how great the score is in this until I hear it again. Mike G at it again!
Fun fact: This film pokes fun at Marvel and DC. Here’s what I mean
Elastigirl = Mr. Fantastic from Fantastic Four
Violet = Invisible Woman from Fantastic Four
Dash = The Flash
Frozone = Iceman from X-Men
Gazerbeam = Cyclops from X-Men
The Underminer = The Mole Man from Fantastic Four
Next you should watch the Iron Giant (1999) its from the same director than the increibles Brad Bird. I highly redomended
Apparently the whole music was done in the way it was done in the 50s hence the james bond, jazzy spy feel to it.
"Does your trashcan incinerate?"
I must have watched this movie a dozen times but never noticed. That's a brilliant little detail.
Hi Angelina, nice reaction. It's sooooooo hard to pick a 'best' movie from Pixar, there are so many truly great ones: Wall-e, Toy Story, Monsters Inc, The Incredibles, etc. BTW, a (belated) happy 4th, to all across the pond. ; )
23:45 Bob wants to get free, but you can still see the tears in his eyes as he threatens to kill Mirage because he thinks he's just lost his family, and because he has a moral compass.
One of my all-time favourite films! Watched it easily a dozen times and could probably watch it more 😃
I like how her dog just sits there for the couple of minutes if you guys saw
Ange looks so good in this video, this look is 🔥
24:45 Violet is closed off and unsure about her abilities, and by 26:40 she's wearing a headband that pulls her hair out of her face. 27:54 Violet shows what she's made of
Happy 4th to you Angie
Yes!!!! Incredibles 2 is ALL MASTERPIECE🇱🇷✊🏾✊🏾
I actually watched this movie when it came out on DVD and sometime after my parents divorced. My dad bought it and I watched it with him and it's still my favorite Pixar movie. Now that my siblings have watched it too, they always like to say "where's my super suit!? In front of me and they like to hear me finish that whole argument 😂.
I like the subtle detail that Syndrome was so focused on making the robot powerful enough to stop Mr. Incredible, that he supposedly never built the robot to take down a team of supers all at once. It was literally made to focus on one hero.
The actress for Mirage is from one of my favorite old movies, batteries not included.
Dash would probably be the one kid that would actually be able to keep up with a puppy if they got him one. He'd have to learn a bit of responsibility about like cleaning up for it and stuff but he would NOT slack on walkies EVER!
I once watched a video questioning the laws used at the beginning of this movie, and they were surprisingly accurate based on the years involved if I remember correctly.
Looking forward to the commentary that I'm sure is coming of the third (and final) Matrix. Would love to see commentaries of the, at least first two Mummy movies.
My GirIangeIina has the best taIks with commentaries I Iove😘💚
Feels good to do a reaction video to The Incredibles. Or as we like to call it: the only good movie version of the Fantastic Four.
Oof! You right though.
My favorite superhero movie with a good story behind it. Love the extra's on the DVD. Incredibles 2 is also worth watching. Animation is 10 out of 10.
If you're planning on watching Incredibles 2 make sure you also includes the Jack Jack attack short in front and the Edna short afterwards in your commentary video
Firmly with you on this one Ange, definitely the best Pixar film. Cool action, hilarious comedy, compelling drama, some scary bits, and the best James Bond score ever written for a film that wasn't a Bond film - this thing has everything!
Incredible reaction of my favorite Pixar movie!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊
I remember the first time I saw the trailer. That was before Michael Giacchino had his score together, and maybe before he was hired. The trailer used the instrumental opening theme from On Her Majesty's Secret Service, possibly my favorite Bond movie and certainly my favorite Bond score. (For Your Eyes Only is the best song, but never mind about that.) I have to believe that Giacchino was influenced heavily by John Barry's Bond scores, just as the filmmakers were influenced by the look and the dialogue of the Sean Connery era Bond films. Just another reason I love this flick.
I was picked on for years after this movie came out bc my nickname is Kari, spelled and pronounced just like the babysitter lol. That being said, I still adore this film!
