A new set of outtakes return on the second disk on the special edition DVD. But the outtakes are mistakes made in animation by animators, rather than the traditional outtakes where the characters would mess up their lines if they were actual actors.

Goofs

When the airplane blows up and Dash, Violet and Helen are falling, once Helen makes herself into a parachute, there is no longer rubble from the plane falling around them and nothing above them. After they are in the water, a big chunk of plane falls almost on top of them.

Quotes

Mr. Incredible: No matter how many times you save the world, it always manages to get back in jeopardy again. Sometimes I just want it to stay saved! You know, for a little bit? I feel like the maid; I just cleaned up this mess! Can we keep it clean for... for ten minutes!

Elastigirl: Settle down, are you kidding? I'm at the top of my game! I'm right up there with the big dogs! Girls, come on. Leave the saving of the world to the men? I don't think so.

Q

Any recommendations for other movies by Pixar Animation Studios?

A

If you like Pixar's animation in The Incredibles, you'll certainly want to see some of the other Pixar productions, including Toy Story (1995) and its sequels -- Toy Story 2 (1999) and Toy Story 3 (2010) -- and perhaps A Bug's Life (1998), Monsters, Inc. (2001), Finding Nemo (2003), (2004), Cars (2006) and Cars 2 (2011), Ratatouille (2007), WALL·E (2008), Up (2009), Brave (2012) and Monsters University (2013).

Q

Why does that scene with Frozone and the cup of water seem so familiar?

A

It's a reference to a scene in Die Hard: With a Vengeance (1995) where Samuel L. Jackson's character is in the subway attempting to answer a pay phone while at gunpoint from a rookie cop.

Q

Is "The Incredibles" based on a book?

A

No. The Incredibles is based on a script by Brad Bird, who also directed the movie. Bird originally developed it for Warner Bros but, after Warner shut down its animation division, Bird moved to Pixar Animation Studios at Walt Disney Pictures and took the story with him. However, there are several references to the celebrated graphic novel "Watchmen," which possibly Bird took as a base to write.
