Tita Edna

After watching the Incredibles 2, I always wonder how Edna took care of Jack-Jack. Finally, they showed about it. The film is too short. But it's very cute and funny, especially it explains the words Edna said to Bob, "As I learned quite painfully last night". That scene becomes funnier after watching this short film.

All in all, The Incredibles is one of the best animations.

That is a good reason to make a short film: fill a plot hole that is huge but that raises some questions whatsoever. No need of 2 hour long rogue one movies to do so!

Originally a bonus for the DVD release, "Auntie Edna" is available in the short film section of Disney Plus at the moment and, as I've been running through those, I watched it a few days ago. It's fine, for what it is, but a bit slight.

As he heads to save his family in the events of "The Incredibles 2", Mr Incredible (Craig T Nelson) leaves his youngest son Jack-Jack (Eli Fucile, Maeve Andrews & Nicholas Bird) with his confidant Edna Mode (Brad Bird). Mode takes the opportunity to assess the many and varied powers that Jack-Jack has and tries to create a suit for him.

If I'm honest, I can see why this might have been a scene cut from the movie, rather than a specifically produced addition, it's mildly amusing stuff but trades a lot on hoping you have a pre-existing connection with these characters, particularly Edna, who doesn't have any of the amusing lines she's had in particularly the first film.

The animation is typically Pixar brilliance and there are moments of physical comedy that are good - but it's not worth much to anyone but "Incredibles" completionists.

We see what happens when Mr. Incredible leaves Jack-Jack with Edna overnight to figure out how his powers work. It was simply adorable and really funny watching him use his powers. Edna is such a character herself, it was hilarious watching her reaction to Jack-Jack's many powers. It was definitely an enjoyable watch. I suggest watching The Incredibles 2 before watching this short, as it relates to a scene from the feature film. It'll still be entertaining either way though.

How could they only make this a 5 minute spin off? Sometimes great minds miss a great opportunity. This could have been a great movie had they fleshed it out more. I really wonder about Hollywood folk sometimes.
