The Incredibles: Saving the World Still Leaves the Dishes

A former hero misses the days when people needed him to do something extraordinary. A secret chance to return to action seems like the answer, but keeping it from his family makes everything more complicated. Before long, the whole household has to work together against a threat much bigger than a bad day at the office. Family life is hard enough without adding explosions to the calendar.

Stretch your memory a little. This family certainly would.

1. What is the family's surname?
- Porter
- Parr
- Palmer
- Parker
Bob, Helen, Violet, Dash and Jack-Jack Parr live in Metroville under the Superhero Relocation Program, after a lawsuit from a man Bob saved against his will drove the supers underground. Parker, among the distractors, is Spider-Man's family name.
2. What is Mr. Incredible's civilian first name?
- Bob
- Bill
- Ben
- Bruce
Robert Parr, a claims adjuster at Insuricare who coaches customers through the company's loopholes and eventually throws his boss, Mr Huph, through several walls. Huph is voiced by Wallace Shawn, and Bob is fired for it.
3. What superhero name does Helen use?
- Invisible Woman
- Flexigirl
- Elastigirl
- Stretch Queen
She stretches, flattens and reshapes herself, turning into a parachute for the children and a boat with Dash as the outboard motor. In the sequel it is Elastigirl who gets the public hero's job while Bob stays home with Jack-Jack.
4. Who voices Mr. Incredible?
- Kurt Russell
- John Goodman
- Tim Allen
- Craig T. Nelson
Nelson was best known as the title character of the sitcom Coach, which suits a man who spends the film wishing the glory days back. Tim Allen, among the distractors, is Pixar's Buzz Lightyear, and John Goodman its Sulley.
5. Who voices Helen?
- Susan Sarandon
- Helen Hunt
- Holly Hunter
- Geena Davis
Hunter, an Oscar winner for The Piano, gives Helen the brisk Georgia-accented voice of a woman who has made her peace with suburbia and is better at the job than her husband. Helen Hunt, among the distractors, is a different Helen entirely.
6. What is Dash's main power?
- Super speed
- Super strength
- Telepathy
- Flight
Dash is fast enough to run across water, which he discovers mid-chase on the island, and at school he is in trouble for putting a tack on his teacher's chair faster than the camera can catch. At the closing track meet he is told to come a close second.
7. Which pair of abilities does Violet have?
- Super speed and ice powers
- Invisibility and force fields
- Flight and heat vision
- Shape-shifting and telepathy
Violet is voiced by Sarah Vowell, the writer and public radio essayist, who was cast after the director heard her on This American Life. The force fields fail her under pressure in the plane, and the film is partly about her learning to hold one.
8. What is the baby called?
- Max-Max
- Jo-Jo
- Jack-Jack
- Bam-Bam
Jack-Jack appears powerless until the climax, when babysitter Kari and then Syndrome discover he can burst into flame, turn to metal and become a small demon. The short Jack-Jack Attack fills in Kari's very long evening.
9. What is Bob's superhero friend Lucius called?
- Snowdrift
- Frozone
- Cold Snap
- Iceman
Lucius Best, Bob's best friend, freezes the moisture in the air and needs water to work with, which nearly costs him in the burning building. The two men spend their so-called bowling nights listening to a police scanner for trouble to meddle in.
10. Who voices Frozone?
- Laurence Fishburne
- Ving Rhames
- Keith David
- Samuel L. Jackson
Jackson had done little animation before this, and Frozone's argument with his wife, Honey, about where his super suit has gone is the line most quoted back at him. Keith David, among the distractors, voices Goliath in Gargoyles.
11. Who designs the family's superhero outfits?
- Kari McKeen
- Evelyn Deavor
- Mirage
- Edna Mode
Edna's voice belongs to the film's director, who laid down a temporary track and kept it when no actress bettered it. She builds the whole family suits unasked, and the homing beacon she sews into them is what later betrays Bob's position on the island.
12. What costume feature does Edna firmly reject?
- Gloves
- Capes
- Boots
- Masks
Thunderhead, Stratogale, Meta Man, Dynaguy and Splashdown all died by cape in Edna's slideshow, snagged on missiles, turbines and takeoff. Syndrome wears one anyway, and at the end his own jet turbine proves Edna's point.
13. What name does Buddy Pine use as the villain?
- Syndrome
- The Underminer
- Bomb Voyage
- Screenslaver
Buddy was Incrediboy, the fan Mr Incredible brushed off during the fight with Bomb Voyage, and he has spent the years since selling weapons and luring retired supers to his island to be killed by the Omnidroid. He is voiced by Jason Lee.
14. What is the large fighting robot called?
- The Autoguard
- The Titantron
- The Megabot
- The Omnidroid
A learning battle robot that Syndrome has been improving by feeding it supers; Mr Incredible beats one version by tricking it into tearing out its own power core. The final model is turned loose on the city so that Syndrome can arrive and play hero.
15. Who wrote and directed the film?
- Pete Docter
- John Lasseter
- Brad Bird
- Andrew Stanton
Bird came to Pixar from The Iron Giant, a flop that is now a classic, and this was the studio's first film about humans rather than toys, bugs, monsters or fish. It won the Oscar for animated feature and another for sound editing; Bird also voices Edna.
