[edit] Doc Hudson?

Doc Hudson from Cars is supposed to make a cameo appearance at "1:40:31", but on the UK release at least, this moment is part of Syndrome kidnapping Jack-Jack, and is entirely at the level of Syndrome's jet.

So, where does the Doc appear — or is this just another myth, like the "Pizza Planet Truck appearance"? 217.171.129.73 (talk) 04:17, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

If nobody comes up with any supporting evidence for this "cameo" by 16 May (i.e. three months after the above post), this "trivium" should be taken as another bogus one, and deleted. 217.171.129.78 (talk) 05:35, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Well I just watched parts of it again, there seems to be no Doc Hudson to my knowledge. I believe this is just bogus Stealth (talk) 10:57, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Since IMDB are currently listing this item, I've submitted a deletion request, citing this talk page as evidence.

I suspect that both "the Pizza Planet truck" and "Doc Hudson" are cases of people catching a glimpse of something which looks vaguely like the car in question, and jumping to the conclusion that they've just seen that car; whilst searching for the Pizza Planet truck, I saw a car which at first glance looked remarkably like the flying Ford Anglia from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. :-) 217.171.129.79 (talk) 12:55, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

When I reviewed this material if it was true I was planning on getting a picture then photo shoping it to show the image (with a red circle around it type thing), I just plainly didn't see it..... I agree this is a good idea to send this to themStealth (talk) 22:14, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

There is definitelty a Hudson Hornet that can be glimpsed at the specified time in the US version of the movie, however, it lacks a face, so its appearance could not really be called a Doc Hudson cameo.--Sanfranfan727 (talk) 01:51, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Cars came out 2 years later than the Incredibles - I doubt they would put a cameo of a film that hadn't come out yet. This is just someone jumping to conclusions —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thunderflame (talk • contribs) 20:06, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mrs. Incredible

One trivium says the following: " Mirage begins to say, 'Oh, hello, you must be Mrs. Incredible.' " But since (as this item admits) she doesn't complete the sentence, how do we know that this is in fact what she was going to say, and not "Mrs. Parr"? 217.171.129.69 (talk) 15:39, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Actually listen to the video, she completes the "you must be mrs incredi-and at that point she gets punched out. This is enough to prove it. --Talk to Stealth500 (talk) 16:53, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Having just watched the DVD again (a friend needed cheering up), I see (hear!) what you mean. :) — 217.171.129.72 (talk) 20:47, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] DVD Extras

Some of the extras mentioned seem to be absent from the Region 2 (Europe) version of the DVD, namely:

• Vowellet: An Essay by Sarah Vowell
• Character Interviews, actor and actresses interview the characters
• Boundin' With Commentary, Boundin' with commentary by Bud Luckey
• Who Is Bud Luckey? a four-minute documentary about the making of Boundin'

Also, I for one have only seen the Region 2 version in widescreen, not 4:3. -- Korax1214 (talk) 14:56, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

(Please reply here as I rarely log in, let alone and never check my talk page.)

The Boundin' commentary and the Who Is Bud Luckey? documentary are on the Region 2 disc; however, the "Vowellet" essay and the character interviews seem to be missing (unless the author of the article meant the sound clips in the NSA Files), along with the supposed "Easter Egg" showing every door, button and explosion in the movie. -- 217.171.129.72 (talk) 04:51, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

I've just found the Easter Egg! Those who want to have fun searching for it themselves, look away now...

It's between the sectionmarks (§) below. Highlight that text to see it.

§On the main Disc 2 menu, wait while the animation plays and after a while an Omnidroid silhouette appears above the menu. Click on it and the door/button/explosion sequence plays, to the tune of the "Anvil Chorus".§

-- 217.171.129.72 (talk) 07:39, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

There are in fact several Easter Eggs, all accessed the same way. IMO the one on the main menu is the best. -- 217.171.129.72 (talk) 18:30, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ye gods...

I add a {verylong} tag to the beginning of the article, and a few hours later someone makes it even longer by expanding the Plot section!

Perhaps I should have added a {stub} tag instead, maybe then he would have shortened it. :-) 217.171.129.69 (talk) 00:10, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Haha, that was awesome. Useight (talk) 00:13, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Year(s) in which this film is set

I've deleted the two "films set in..." category tags, because the clues indicating that the main part is set in a particular year or decade all point in different directions; e.g. Bob is reading a newspaper dated "196x", and later learns of the deaths (in the late 1950s) of two superhero friends of his who were guests at his wedding 15 years earlier; but the movie also features things such as personal computers (first introduced in the late 1970s), mobile phones (early 1980s, I think), flat-screen TVs (1990s), and (in the Jack-Jack Attack short) CDs (1983).

Hence, as per the IMDb board thread "Was this set in the early 80's?" (meeds login to view), the only thing that's clear about this movie's time period it that it's ambiguous (perhaps deliberately so?), thus "films set in..." tags are innappropriate for this article. -- 217.171.129.73 (talk) 03:14, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

In the "Making of The Incredibles" documentary, Brad Bird says something about the movie being set in "the 1960s of an alternate Earth". I think that clinches it -- it's nor set in our 1960s, so the tag is indeed inappropriate. -- 92.40.197.50 (talk) 00:25, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

No way is it set in the '70s. Like you said, there's too much modern technology in it. C Teng 22:13, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Split off Plot section?

If the Plot section (which looks to me to be longer than the entire rest of the page) were to be split off into Plot of The Incredibles, that might solve the length problem. Trouble is of course that it would also break the flow.

Discuss. -- 217.171.129.74 (talk) 05:45, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Actually, the new improved Plot section (thanks to whoever did this refactoring job) is now what a plot section (at least here) should be; a short-and-sweet covering of all the significant points, not a blow-by-blow account of every last scene in the movie (as it was). No split needed any longer. -- 92.40.197.50 (talk) 00:56, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Incredibles Sequel In The Works?

Jun 19, 2007, been a while... any more current info on this possibility that could make it into the article?
