Director Brad Bird Says Incredibles 2 Is Inspired By James Bond And Mission Impossible

We first met the family of Parrs – Bob, Helen, Dash, Violet, and Jack-Jack in Disney Pixar’s Incredibles in 2004 and they instantly won our hearts. Now they are back with Incredibles 2 and a whole new adventure that you are sure to love.

When The Incredibles first burst onto the big screen, Mr. Incredible’s super strength and Elastigirl’s stretchy flexibility wowed audiences around the globe and even earned them an Oscar® for best-animated film.

 

In 2004, fans not only fell for the characters in The Incredibles, they also soaked up the mid-century world of the film. Since Incredibles 2 picks up where the first film left off, the look is back—and thanks to advances in technology, it’s even better.

 

According to writer/director Brad Bird, the nostalgic look is reminiscent of a movie genre that sparked his imagination back when the first film was in development. But the genre had nothing to do with comic-book heroes.

 

Bird said:

“I was inspired by spy series and spy movies. James Bond, Mission: Impossible, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Our Man Flint, as well as a prime-time adventure cartoon called Johnny Quest. There were a bunch of them in the sixties that had that cool, elegant flavor that we wanted to capture.”

 

Disney Pixar’s Incredibles 2 releases on 22nd June.
