He’s there for support and the occasional joke, largely a supporting player. Daughter Violet is still trying to gain the notice of Tony Rydinger, a goofy teen who…well, I won’t spoil it, but his crush on Violet causes him a lot of problems early in the film.Īs for The Dash aka Dashiell Parr, the middle child of The Incredibles is, well, a middle child in this film. Bob Parr, who quit his insurance job, is left in charge of the household, a difficult challenge for the father of three children with powers. He and his sister, Evelyn, a talented inventor, hire and befriend Helen Parr. Since he’s a media man, Deavor understands that public opinion is everything. He selects Elastigirl as the person who can restore and redeem superheroes.
Winston Deavor, the media mogul of a telecommunications company, wants to bring superheroism back into the collective consciousness. The Incredibles 2 parallels this idea, only substituting Helen Parr as the one seeking more. He wasn’t satisfied by the banality of this decidedly unheroic existence and sought more. Our Man Bob wound up working in a boring white collar job for an insurance company. That was convenient because a series of lawsuits had caused the government to sour on superhero vigilantes. When they married, she demanded that the couple live an ordinary, law-abiding life. In that movie, Elastigirl was clearly the superior superhero, but she fell for Bob Parr, an invulnerable man with a giant chin and an improbable physique. The story of The Incredibles 2 expands on themes from the original. Bird’s story deftly walks this tightrope between loving tribute to the days of Our Man Flint and a tweaking of ideas the director had previously presented in 2013’s Tomorrowland.
This film feels like a 2018 perspective of what the world looked like during the final years of Walt Disney’s life, but it also seems like a snapshot of a not-too distant future when technology has improved everyone’s lives. During other key sequences, the loving tribute to the 1960s style of action cinema is unmistakable. The world in which the Parrs reside is one that somehow seems quasi-futuristic and decidedly retro.Īt different moments in the film, our heroes fight on the most advanced forms of transportation ever invented. Rather than set it in a modern world that’s easily recognizable, the director borrows liberally from all of his decades of Disney training. Bird chooses to tell a timeless, stylized story with The Incredibles 2.
