10 Best The Incredibles Moments
2. Mrs. Incredible Visits Edna Mode
Helen’s visit to Edna Mode is a highlight of the movie. Primarily because Edna steals every scene she’s in.
Edna isn’t just a fashion designer; she’s the go-to genius behind all superhero suits. As she takes Helen through her high-tech workshop, it’s clear these suits are more than just clothes – they’re extensions of the heroes themselves.
Edna has got no time for nonsense, and she’s all about functionality mixed with flair. Dash’s suit is built for speed, Violet’s is sleek and stealthy, and Helen’s is the perfect blend of style and practicality. Each suit reflects Edna’s genius and the unique personality of each family member.
This scene offers an essential mix of humor and insight. It’s a fun reminder that a superhero’s suit is more than just a costume, it’s part of who they are. And Edna’s unforgettable personality makes her one of Pixar’s most iconic characters, leaving you wanting more every time she’s on screen.
1. The Plane Crash
The plane crash scene is edge-of-your-seat excitement from start to finish.
Helen is piloting the jet when she finds out that Violet and Dash have snuck onboard, and before you know it, Syndrome is firing missiles at them. The tension ramps up fast, but Helen is all about quick thinking and cool moves.
Just as the plane starts to break apart, Helen stretches herself into a makeshift parachute, saving her kids in a jaw-dropping moment that shows off her super-mom skills. When they hit the water, she doesn’t even pause – she transforms into a boat, with Dash speeding them to safety.
This scene is all about family teamwork and shows that, even in the craziest situations, Helen is the ultimate super-mom. It’s a thrilling, heart-pounding moment that blends action and family love.
