  • [MICROPHONE SHIFTING]

  • 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.
