Welcome back nerd squad, my name is Roya Destroyaa and this is Top 10 Nerd.
The Incredibles 2 is finally out, and of course, just as any Pixar film, it is loaded with
little secrets.
Some of these are still hidden and will force us to watch the movie a dozen times, but some
of them we were lucky enough to spot on our first go.
So letÕs take a look at the top 10 EASTER EGGS and things YOU may have MISSED IN INCREDIBLES
2.
In the number 10 spot, THE HOTEL PAINTINGS.
Not so much an easter egg as a fun little metaphor hidden inside the movie, when Helen
parr is in her hotel room on the phone with her husband, you can note the painting of
five seemingly random red blobs hung above the bed.
Abstract art right?
Except not quite.
If you look closely, the four blobs kind of loosely resemble each of the Parr familyÑthe
4 on the left are Bob, Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack, while the one on the right is Helen.
And this one is offset to represent her being separated from the others.
Digging deep here.
Next, at number 9, ARE REAL TV SHOWS.
If the Incredibles donÕt exist on the same earth as us, their cable must have been sent
over from here.
This is evident due to the shows that the family is watching.
In one scene, Johnny Quest shows up on the television, a show about a boy and his dad
becoming heroes.
And In an earlier scene, Bob and Jack Jack are taking in the sci-fi series The Outer
Limits.
Both shows aired in the 60s, which is the time that this film is taking place.
Coming in at number 8, WE GOT THE UNDERMINER.
Because the movie starts off where it left, we are given an attack from a new minor villain
known as the Underminer.
This guy is a clear play on the Fantastic 4 villain mole man.
But whatÕs an even better little-hidden treat here is that he is voiced by John Ratzenberger,
the only person who has voiced a character in every single Pixar film to dateÑthey know
him as their lucky charm.
In the number 7 spot, IS A113.
This number appears in every Pixar film, as a fun kind of tribute.
A113 makes its appearance right at the end of the film when Tony and Violet go on their
date.
The number is representative of a California Institute of the art classroom where many
of the Pixar animators got their start.
As the film the two lovebirds are seeing is called Dementia A113, this is actually 2 eggs
in oneÑDementia 13 was a real movie that came out in the 60s as well.
One that got remade just last year.
Up at number 6, WE HAVE A POLTERGEIST REFERENCE.
One of the many powers of Jack-Jack that we quickly learn about is his ability to materialize
into another dimension and become intangible.
This scene is extremely reminiscent of a scene from the 80Õs movie Poltergeist, where a
child is drawn into another dimension.
Funnily enough, Craig T Nelson voices Bob parr and he also played the father of the
child in Poltergeist.
The man has bad luck with babies crossing realms apparently.
Coming in at number 5, IS COMMON CORE MATH.
This was easily recognizable to the younger audience members and also their infuriated
parents, but to those who havenÕt seen elementary school math in a while, it could have come
across as a bit confusing.
However, Bob ParrÕs struggle with DashÕs math homework is the perfect reference to
what is known as common core math, a way of doing the math that apparently makes more
sense.
But donÕt ask me to wrap my head around it.
Next up, at number 4 IS THE GHOSTBUSTER REFERENCE.
In one scene, Helen Parr catches the pizza delivery man instead of her target the screen
slaver.
To convince her that she isnÕt thinking straight, her co-worker Evelyn mentions Einstein was
a patent clerk.
This line was taken from Ghostbusters character Peter Vekman, who once mentioned that EinsteinÕdid
his greatest stuff when he was working as a patent clerk.
Now you know the line isnÕt as random as it seems.
Up next at number 3, WE GOT THE TOY STORY 4 EGG.
This was actually a strange one in the sense that we were promised an easter egg, but our
eyes failed to pick up on one.
Granted, we were warned it would be difficult; while set supervisor Nathan Fariss said the
easter egg was there, he also mentioned probably no one would notice it, due to the fact that
Toy Story 4 comes out after the Incredibles.
So maybe after we watch toy story, we will notice something we didnÕt.
What do you guys think?
In the number 2 spot, IS THE PIZZA PLANET TRUCK.
Another is it there or is it not an easter egg, the pizza planet truck has made an appearance
in every Pixar film; even when people didnÕt think it was in the first incredible, it was.
However, this time around we was informed that while the pizza planet truck would make
an appearance, it would be extremely hidden and it also received a period revamp so that
it would blend into the 60s better.
If you guys spot it let us know!
And finally, in the number 1 spot, WE HAVE THE ORIGINAL RELEASE DATE.
The Incredibles 2 was actually supposed to come out next year in 2019 but was pushed
ahead a year because Pixar didnÕt wants to release Incredibles AND Toy Story within the
same time frame.
The first Incredibles came out in 2004, which means that 2019 would have been a perfect
15 years.
A perfect 15 years to match syndromeÕs line of Ò15 years too lateÓ.
The easter egg that never would be, sadly.
So those were the top 10 easter eggs in Incredibles 2.
