'Incredibles 2' trivia and fun facts
How the tables turned
This was Pixar's fourth follow-up film where the protagonist and side character switch roles, in which Mrs. Incredible/Elastigirl takes on the role of the protagonist from Mr. Incredible. The other times this happened was in 'Cars 2' (2011), where Mater took over from Lightning McQueen, in 'Monsters University' (2013), where Mike took over from Sully, and in 'Finding Dory' (2016), where Dory took over from Marlin.
Good bye Dash
For this film, Huck Milner took over voicing Dash, as the character's original voice actor Spencer Fox's voice had deepened since the first film.
The longest
At 1 hour and 58 minutes, 'Incredibles 2' (2018) is not only the longest Pixar Animation Studios film to date, but also the longest computer-animated feature film to date.
Brad Bird
Director Brad Bird had stated over the years that he would only do a sequel to 'The Incredibles' (2004) if he could come up with a story that was just as good as, or better than, its predecessor. The idea of Bob/Mr. Incredible becoming a stay-at-home dad while Helen/Elastigirl becomes the breadwinner was there from the very beginning, but it took years for Bird to come up with the perfect story to write this idea around.
