Pixar just released the next sneak peek at Incredibles 2 and hidden in the new footage
are some cool details and easter eggs you might have missed.
Yippee-ki-yay, movie lovers, it's Jan here, and today I'm delving into the new Incredibles
2 trailer for Pixar easter eggs, superhero references and a possible villain we haven't
yet met.
If you're new here, I do lots of Pixar and superhero movie videos, so subscribe to my

"Superheroes are illegal."
"We wanna fight bad guys!"
"Ajubadibaja!"
"It defines who I am!"
"We're not saying you have... what?!"
If like Mr Incredible, you're wondering where this line came from, well, it seems to be
a cool reference to Batman Begins.
"It's not who I am underneath, but what I do ... that defines me."
I love that Pixar are obviously continuing to have fun with superhero lore and putting
their own spin on lines from Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy.
Also in this scene is a regular, but less well-known, Pixar easter egg which is a very
specific Chinese take-out container design.
This same style of food box has appeared four times previously in Pixar movies.
The first time was in A Bug's Life where it was called the "Chinese Cabinet of Metamorphosis"
by Manny who used it for his circus act.
"From the most mysterious regions of uncharted Asia, I give you the Chinese Cabinet Of Metamorphosis!"
Other places it's appeared in Pixar movies include in the Pizza Planet Truck in Toy Story
2, in Linguini's apartment in Ratatouille, and, most recently, in Inside Out where, like
the Incredibles family, Riley and her family also sat down for a dinner of Chinese takeout.
"Help me bring supers back into the sunlight."
"We need Elastigirl!"
"Bye sweetie!"
"I'll watch the kids, no problem."
OK, so here we get our first look at Winston Deavor and his Devtech organisation and he's
making it clear he wants to hire Elastigirl for his own missions.
Now, if we jump back a moment to this shot at the Municiberg airport, there's Elastigirl
arriving on her motorbike, but look really carefully and you'll notice there's another
figure standing next to Winston Deavor.
I wonder if that could be his sister Evelyn, who you can gather from her name – Evelyn
Deavor – sounds like she's probably going to have a villainous role in the movie.
We also get to see that Elastigirl's been kitted out with a new slick outfit as well
as a motorbike and they both have an interesting new logo, which looks like the letters E and
G of Elastigirl have been combined.
And notice that the waterfall that Elastigirl drives out of is a call-back to Syndrome's
lava waterfall which also worked as a hidden opening in the first Incredibles movie.
On the surface, the math joke seems it's probably a jab at the US Common Core math standard
and the criticism it's come under from parents.
"That's not the way you're supposed to do it Dad."
"They want us to do it this..."
"I don't know that way!
Why would they change math?!"
"Math is math!"
"It's OK Dad!"
"Math is math!"
However, given the book Dash holds up is called "New Math for Life", this might actually also
be a reference to the "New Math" syllabus which was introduced in the 1960s in the US
and some European countries as an attempt to improve mathematical skills and interest
in science during the Cold War.
Additionally, this fits in with the [19]60s-esque setting of the Incredibles movies.
We also get a glimpse of Jack-Jack literally turning into a little monster again, as he
did when he defended himself against Syndrome at the end of the first film.
"But I can't keep giving him cookies!"
"Wow!"
"No biting the Daddy!"
The trailer's cut together pretty quickly, but it looks like Jack-Jack gets this specific
power when he's angry, and it seems here it's because Mr Incredible won't give him any more
cookies.
It was great to see Edna Mode back and, judging by the look of Mr Incredible, I think he'll
be turning to her for help after becoming exhausted trying to look after Jack-Jack.
As she did for Elastigirl in the first movie, I'm sure this time she'll be offering him
some of her signature brand of advice!
"What are you talking about?"
"Huh?"
"You are Elastigirl!"
"My god, pull yourself together!"
And I wonder if she'll also be designing him or Jack-Jack a new costume?
But no capes, of course, dahling!
"Something classic, like Dyna Guy!"
"Oh, he had a great look!"
"The cape and the boots!"
"No capes!"
