The first time I watched this, I thought Linda Hunt (NCIS Los Angeles) was the voice of Edna Mode, but it's actually the movie's writer/ director himself, Brad Bird, and based Edna (her look/ style and personality) on several people, including Linda Hunt, Edith Head, Anna Wintour, and Iris Apfel.
My favorite aspect of this bit of trivia is that Brad recorded temp tracks for the voice talent he would eventually hire, but everybody loved his version so much they convinced him to be the official voice of Edna Mode. Also, now I'm going to have to find voice samples of all these people.
unfun fact: the robot mr incredible 1st encountered, was designed/designated to fight frozone why he led mr. incredible to the volcano. addtional: gazerbeam the goat, he gave his life to provide a message well hidden one at that, to whatever hero hopefully came across it his body just gave out and he died slowly alone :/ saddest fact: all the heroes that fell to syndromes creations were at the wedding.
Samuel L. Jackson as Frozone is one of my favorite castings in a kid's movie ever. "Honey....where's my supersuit?" Side note: Edna Mode was inspired by a few people: Edith Head: Designed the costumes for Gone With The Wind and Breakfast At Tiffany's , down to the iconic round glasses and bob haircut. Anna Wintour: Editor-In-Chief of Vogue magazine, with a no-nonsense attitude and flawless sense of fashion. Iris Apfel: Fashion businesswoman, known for her eccentric sense of style and bold personality.
The Incredibles are essentially a reimagining of the Fantastic 4, with Mr. Incredible having a variation of Ben Grim/The Thing's powers, though lacking Ben's near invulnerability(the Increbibles in general seem more grounded with their powers). Elastigirl having Reed Richard's/Mr. Fantastic's powers(though she uses them better than Reed ever has dispayed). Violet basically has Sue Storm's powerset and Dash having Johnny Storm's cocky personality but with Quicksilver's powers in place of his trademark thermokinesis that he is most widely known for. And Jack Jack being the strongest member of the family as well as the youngest is a comparison to Franklin Richards, the son of Reed Richards and Sue Storm. Franklin is also stronger than all of the other Fantastic 4 members. Him being an Omega Level mutant and reality warper. But in Jack Jack's case he's a polymorph, possessing numerous super powers all at once(his name is also a play on the phrase "Jack-of-All-Trades). Whoever wrote this script really liked the Fantastic 4, whom are the archetypical super family.
It really is, and there are 2 reasons why. First, they skipped the origin story. Basically all the silver age of comics (when F4 first released) origins are some kind of "science gone wrong" and it doesn't really translate super well to modern sensibilities. They instead just dove in and said "they have powers." Second, the a story of the film is the family and their dynamics. The B story line is fighting the bad guy. F4 works because it's a realistic look at the family. They bother each other. Reed struggles with his responsibilities to the universe vs his responsibilities to his family. Johnny is arrogant. Ben hates himself. Sue is lonely. They're all flawed and make mistakes, but they grow and forgive in a very human way. Modern comic movies think the focus needs to be a big beat em up scene with a majorly op bad guy, but that isn't the essence of the F4 comic.
@@NiaMakiReacts FOX Studios never got their Fantastic Four movies right, which is a huge shame. The FF deserve a top tier movie franchise. The Incredibles are the closest thing to that.
44:56 -- those two old men are two of the "Nine Old Men" -- guys who worked with Walt Disney, when he first started his company. They are Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston. The theory is that Edna designed Syndrome's suit. Brad Bird could neither confirm or deny.
Jack-Jack Attack was a short on the dvd which shows what happened while Jack-Jack was at home with the poor babysitter 😅 worth a watch before the second movie
You'd think people would be grateful to heros but in reality they be doing a better job than cops, fbi and government, hell i remember a Dc movie where superman straight up took over the earth and ended all war on earth.
I retired from a vibrant military career ("saving the world" my wife often said)...and went to work for an insurance company. I know how he feels. The adult-level themes in this movie are subtle but significant. They hit me hard as a husband and father. Imagine being defeated by a homicidal maniac and then discovering that your wife and best friend are next on the list. And then the moment you believe your family has been murdered. And moments like "Do you _know_ where your husband is?"
😎👍 I did a search of your channel to see what other Disney/Pixar films you've reacted to. Yes, "The Incredibles 2" (2018) is a great film, but there are so many others that are also well worth watching. Just to name a few: "Monsters Inc" (2001), "Finding Nemo" (2003), "Cars" (2006), "Meet The Robinsons" (2007), "Ratatouille" (2007), "Bolt" (2008), "Wreck-It-Ralph" (2012), "Big Hero 6" (2014), "Zootopia" (2016), "Soul" (2020), "Luca" 2021 and many others. 🥸 You've got a great channel. 😉
I’ve noticed that out of all my subscriptions, some of which are my favorite lecturers and low energy - chill - content creators (like once a month postings), I will click one of these review videos over one of those. 😮😅
Something I noticed for the first time this watch-through was that Syndrome “Buddy” became just like the villain Bon Voyage. He adopted the same beeping blow up tracker technology. Perhaps…Bon Voyage’s origin story was being jealous of the kids with super powers! Perhaps…he began robbing bank vaults because of the greediness of corporations! He must’ve been the hero of his own story somehow. Perhaps that’s why, when the supers disappeared, mega criminals (mostly) disappeared!
@@NiaMakiReactshaha, I don’t mind high energy, I just find lots of pleasure in learning. I subscribe to a lot of college’s who post free online lectures.
I love this movie! So many little details that you miss the first time, like Mr. Incredible's constant problems with pens, at wok he's the biggest guy but has the smallest cubicule, etc. If you want to know what happened with the babysitter you need to watch ''Jack Jack Attack''. Also, the short feature whe Mr. Incredible and Frozone watch and comment a of cartoon show about themselves is hilarious. Great reaction!
Ok, Nia. There is a reason people say this is the best re-imaginig of the Fantastic Four. First, they are a family. They are bound together by their family dynamics and quirks. Next, superheroes powers are usually bound to the type of personality each of them exhibits as a way for them to develop. Violet is shy she felt invisible. She had to learn the confidence to emerge from her shell. Or she would never be able to stand up for herself or family. Dash is a boy full energy and is anxious to do alot things. When he finally gets his chance,he fully relished being set free. Helen, a.k.a Elatsi-Girl, is the wife and mother. As you probably know mother's have plenty on their plate everyday. She must be able to stretch herself in many directions to keep things grounded. Bob is the typical male typical male. He feels like he has to be strong enough to protect his family. Which is why his breakdown is telling of the limits of physical strength. Because his emotional strength isn't enough. Which is what his family wants from him. Jack Jack is a baby who can potentially be anything. Which you will are more of in the sequel. Get ready. Edna is just director Brad Bird having some by inserting himself into his movie for fun. Edna is actually based on Academy Award winning costume designer Edith Head. Mirage always reminds me of Kelly Ripa. Bob's boss looks like writer Stephen King. I'll be back to watch the next movie. It's always fascinating to watch your mind chase the threads of ideas in your head, like a mouse in a maze. Keep going and enjoy the movies
This may be the greatest Superhero film ever made and how The Fantastic 4 should have been. Btw, Edna Mode (who is such a fun character) is voiced by director Brad Bird. Other animated movies of his who are absolute classics and worth the watch are The Iron Giant and Ratatouille.
@@jlhanlon1980 Yes, if you take only American animated film (Japan has a list of its own), The Incredibles and The Iron Giant are certainly up there. Other great animated films with robots are of course, WALL-E and if you haven't seen, I strongly suggest you watch a movie that came up this year, The Wild Robot. It is absolutely excellent and has immediately risen for me in the top ten list of best American animated movies of all times. Just like The Iron Giant it has a message bothe for adults and children and is full of gravitas but also plenty of humor. Without a doubt a new classic.
You were very observant about Buddy becoming Syndrome, and caught that immediately, but you jumped to the wrong conclusion about Edna's suits. It's that Buddy obviously didn't take rejection from Bob well at all, and wasn't accepted by him, nor did he receive any guidance from Edna or the advice he might have absorbed from the deaths of caped supers. He caused his own downfall by not learning those lessons.
Since we're in the Christmas season, you should react to "Christmas Chronicles 1 & 2" These movies will be classic Christmas movies. th-cam.com/video/R-NHr6iop8c/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ghT5xeVdzr_IPPUv

You'll be in for a treat, then.
Satires?
Please watch it!!!! I love Megamind too! It is a very looked over movie!
@@NiaMakiReacts Megamind is great.
Samuel L. Jackson's real-life wife, LaTanya Richardson Jackson, voiced Frozone's wife.
No wonder it is so absolutely tone perfect.
I never knew that! 😂

to answer your question Nia yes Lucius / frozone Helen /elastigirl and Bob/Mr.incredibable are the last main heroes Syndrome terminated all of them.

Edna Mode is the best. Except for the height the characters based on the Hollywood fashion designer Edith Head.
