- Behind the scenesproduction trivia
- CameoEdna is voiced by the director himself
Lily Tomlin was considered for Edna Mode's voice but turned it down, feeling Brad Bird should do it. His voice came from the temporary storyboard recordings. The accent, part German and part Japanese, stayed. Bird calls Edna the most fun character he created.
source ↗ - ChangeSyndrome was meant to be a minor villain
Syndrome started as a small character who attacked Bob and Helen and died in an explosion early on. The filmmakers liked him so much that he became the main villain instead of a character named Xerek. Bird has said Syndrome was based on himself.
source ↗ - Behind the scenesViolet's hair took months
Violet needed long hair over her face, part of her shy personality. The hair only came together near the end of production, after months of tweaks. To get Dash's out-of-breath voice in the jungle, Bird made the actor run four laps around the studio.

- Behind the scenesIt was a scene cut from the first film
The idea came from a scene Brad Bird had considered for the feature and cut. He expanded it into the short, which shows what babysitter Kari went through during the events of The Incredibles. It came on the film's DVD in 2005.
source ↗ - CameoSyndrome shows up as the new sitter
Jason Lee returns as Syndrome, who turns up at the door and a frazzled Kari takes him for her replacement. He says the S on his suit stands for "Sitter", since BS would not look serious. Bud Luckey also returns as agent Dicker.
source ↗ - ReferenceMozart on the soundtrack and a Hugo nomination
When Kari plays classical music for the baby, the pieces are by Mozart: the Turkish March, Eine kleine Nachtmusik and the Dies irae from the Requiem. The short was nominated for the 2006 Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form.

- ChangeIt starts where the first one ends
Thirteen and a half years passed between the films, but Bird wanted to pick up exactly where the first left off. That way the kids don't age and Jack-Jack stays a baby full of powers. The 2005 game The Incredibles: Rise of the Underminer began at the same point, but the film discards its continuity.
source ↗ - CameoTwo voices changed and the film has a dedication
Spencer Fox, Dash's original voice, was replaced by newcomer Huckleberry Milner. Bud Luckey, who voiced agent Dicker, retired in 2014, and Jonathan Banks took over. Luckey died in 2018, and the film is dedicated to his memory.
source ↗ - SetupThe trailer broke a record
The 53-second teaser premiered on November 18, 2017, during an ESPN broadcast. It drew 113.0 million views in 24 hours, the most for an animated film trailer until Frozen II topped it. The film went on to earn over $1.2 billion worldwide.

- SetupIt arrived with the second film's home release
Auntie Edna came out in autumn 2018 with the digital, DVD and Blu-ray release of Incredibles 2. Like Jack-Jack Attack, the short happens during the film: it shows Edna Mode babysitting Jack-Jack as she copes with his newly discovered powers.
source ↗ - CameoEdna's voice is the director's in both films
Brad Bird voices Edna Mode in The Incredibles and Incredibles 2. The voice came from the temporary storyboard recordings for the first film and stuck. Pixar has a habit of keeping staff voices that work.
source ↗ - ReferenceThe name comes from a Pixar software
Edna was named after EMode, a software Pixar used while making the first film. Bird imagined her as a science genius, half German and half Japanese, who explains who makes the heroes' suits. The Incredibles was Pixar's first PG-rated film, and the scene about capes killing heroes is cited as an example of that darker humor.
