“When John Lasseter, Steve Jobs, and Ed Catmull talked to me about coming up here [Pixar] they said, ‘We are worried about becoming complacent. We want you to come in here and shake it up a bit.’ For them to ask me to do that when they had nothing but successes is amazing to me,” Brad Bird, director of The Incredibles, said while in production of the film. Well, the film went on to win two Academy Awards®, one for Best Animated Feature and another for Best Sound Editing to Randy Thom, Michael Silvers so the “shake up” must of worked. The Incredibles follows Bob Parr, formerly one of the world’s greatest superheroes and known to all as “Mr. Incredible.” He saved lives and fought evil on a daily basis. But now, 15 years later, he and his wife, Helen, a former superhero in her own right, have been forced because of a series of unfortunate accidents and frivolous lawsuits to take on civilian identities and retreat to the suburbs with their three kids. The film was released with the Pixar short Boundin’.
