What's up, everyone?
This is Disney+ Deets, where we break down everything
you need to know about your favorite Disney+
movies and series.
KENNETH: I'm Kenneth!
MARCELLUS: And I'm Marcellus!
And not to toot our own horns, but we're
pretty much the biggest Disney+ fans out there!
KENNETH: Now, let's do it!
Toot toot!
Beep beep!
That's right.
MARCELLUS: Let's get into it.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
MARCELLUS: Today, we're telling you what you need to know
and what you maybe didn't know about our favorite family
of Supers, "The Incredibles."
[MUSIC PLAYING]
KENNETH: Hang on, let me get my spandex on!
[LAUGHS]
MARCELLUS: But Ken, this is literally
one of my favorite movies!
KENNETH: Marcellus is right at home at this point.
MARCELLUS: I just love this movie.
And I love, if you look, there's
like little street signs.
And they're actually streets in Emeryville-
KENNETH: Oh!
MARCELLUS: -because that's where Pixar Studios is.
KENNETH: This movie is so good!
Not only does it deliver all the humor and emotion
we expect from Pixar, but it's just a great action movie.
MARCELLUS: What kind of superhero
would you want to be if you were in The Incredibles?
KENNETH: You know, I've thought about this.
I want to be a superhero who can breathe underwater.
MARCELLUS: Oh, okay.
Show me how long you hold your breath.
Now, go!
KENNETH: Uh, no.
[LAUGHING]
MARCELLUS: Drop some historical knowledge on us, Ken.
KENNETH: So the story begins in the mind
of writer, director Brad Bird.
His goal from the start was to take animation and storytelling
to the next level.
MARCELLUS: Well, he succeeded.
KENNETH: This is Pixar's sixth feature
film, and its first to tackle wholly human characters.
This film changed the game for the Studio.
They actually invented new techniques for this movie.
The character design, sets, and special effects
were state of the art.
MARCELLUS: OMG!
One of my favorite characters is Mr. Incredible.
His body was literally created from the inside out.
KENNETH: "Inside Out" now streaming on Disney+.
Oh, I got there first! [LAUGHING]
[CLAPPING]
MARCELLUS: It was a good plug.
KENNETH: Thank you.
MARCELLUS: Now, have you ever heard of goo?
KENNETH: Goo?
MARCELLUS: Yes.
Let me tell you about it.
Goo is a technology that allows the animated skin
to react realistically to the muscle moving underneath it.
This way, the animators could move the character's skeleton,
and be able to see the muscles and skin
react all in real time.
KENNETH: Oh, look at Violet!
MARCELLUS: Look at Violet and that wonderful hair.
Speaking of her hair-
KENNETH: Mm-hm.
MARCELLUS: -all the detail, the way it moves.
CG hair this good had never been seen before this movie.
It takes so many strands and layers to make it convincing,
that it previously hadn't been possible.
KENNETH: I get it.
Hair is very important, and it looked good!
MARCELLUS: Did you also know that the film's
hair team developed five sculpted hairstyles
for her character?
Listen, this girl got the works.
Each hairstyle had to reflect the environment she was in.
And she went through a lot in this movie-
rain, wind, and zero gravity from her force field.
KENNETH: Let me just say, Elastigirl took one
for the team this entire movie.
[LAUGHS] MARCELLUS: Yes she did.
KENNETH: She was always doing the hard work.
MARCELLUS: Uh-huh, uh-huh.
KENNETH: And she was just like, I'm just going to get it done.
MARCELLUS: I love the fact that they're having
these real family moments. KENNETH: Yes!
[LAUGHS]
MARCELLUS: Like getting fussed at while a plane had blown up.
[LAUGHING]
KENNETH: We know what Elastigirl is capable of,
but we really get to see on this scene,
like what she really does, when she's swinging back and forth.
MARCELLUS: Mm-hm.
KENNETH: A special computer program
called a "deformer" had to be written to stretch
and expand Elastigirl.
MARCELLUS: Wow, these folks can just
whip up a revolutionary software to fix their problems.
KENNETH: It must be nice to work with people who can
help you solve your problems.
MARCELLUS: Uh, should I be offended by that?
KENNETH: I mean, I'm just saying it sounds nice.
MARCELLUS: You want me to whip up some software
to solve your sweet tooth?
KENNETH: That's cold.
You got some candy?
MARCELLUS: Okay.
KENNETH: Speaking of cold, Brad Bird
said he cast Samuel L. Jackson as Frozone
because nobody sounds cooler.
[LAUGHS]
Never heard that one before.
[LAUGHS]
MARCELLUS: He's right though.
Where is my super suit?
Why do you need to know?
[LAUGHS]
KENNETH: Craig T. Nelson said that playing Mr. Incredible was
one of the most challenging of his career,
because Brad Bird and his team knew exactly what they
wanted out of each character.
MARCELLUS: Every time I watch this movie,
it makes me realize I need to go work out.
[LAUGHS]
It's like, you know what?
Let me just go to the gym.
I absolutely love Edna Mode.
KENNETH: Oh, this icon was voiced by none
other than Brad Bird himself.
BRAD BIRD: Come on, there's just too much of it, darling.
Too much!
KENNETH: She is the epitome of style and class.
She is everything. MARCELLUS: Yes!
KENNETH: He was just going to get his old suit stitched up,
and she was having none of it.
She was like, oh no, darling.
We're not doing that.
That was yesterday.
MARCELLUS: She just doesn't have time
for anything other than what's going on right now.
KENNETH: Edna Mode is giving her famous monologue
about no capes.
MARCELLUS: No capes!
KENNETH: She goes down a laundry list
of superheroes who have had a tragic end while fighting
crime with capes.
MARCELLUS: Yep.
[LAUGHS]
KENNETH: They made 150 distinct garments for this film
in general.
So the main characters, the backup characters,
suits, everything.
They had to make so much stuff, and it looks so realistic.
Almost all of these looks were built from scratch to look
and move like actual fabric.
MARCELLUS: That's amazing!
One of my favorite things about Pixar
is the way the movies learn from each other.
For example, the film crew looked at the clothing
advancement made in Boo's shirt from "Monsters,
Inc." as the jumping off point for "The Incredibles."
KENNETH: Now, that's great teamwork.
MARCELLUS: Mm-hm.
KENNETH: With all this action, this movie
has 600 more shots than "Monsters, Inc." by the way.
MARCELLUS: Yes, over 2,200 shots-
more than a third of which include special effects!
Amazing!
KENNETH: Yes!
That's everything from water, to fire, to ice.
Now get this, one of the film's biggest effect breakthroughs
was its clouds.
MARCELLUS: Wow, the clouds?
KENNETH: They developed 3D volumetric clouds
the characters could actually fly through.
They used the same technology for the explosions.
This movie is packed with action!
Oh you see, it's those little things,
that are actually really big things, that make up why Pixar's
so special.
MARCELLUS: Oh, so great.
With all these effects, it should come as no surprise
that it took over 1,800 computers to render the film.
Oh, I love the music, Ken!
KENNETH: Yes!
The film's composer, Michael Giacchino,
was inspired by the music of 1960s thrillers.
Oh, Marcellus!
We could go on forever about this one.
It's such an achievement.
MARCELLUS: Such an achievement!
I love the style.
I just love how great it looks.
I love the characters, and I love being able to say
all the lines when I watch it.
"Bob, it's time to engage!"
[LAUGHS]
KENNETH: I really enjoyed the various personalities
of the characters.
MARCELLUS: It really holds up as one of the best.
Thanks so much for watching, everyone.
We really hope you learned something
about this incredible film.
KENNETH: Thank you, Marcellus.
I have been waiting for you to make
that pun this entire episode.
MARCELLUS: Well see, if you worried about yourself,
you wouldn't be worried about me.
KENNETH: Oh!
MARCELLUS: Okay everyone, use your superpowers to take care
of yourselves and the planet.
And we'll see you next time.
Thanks, Ken.
KENNETH: Thanks, Marcellus!
MARCELLUS: Marcellus and Ken signing off.
