“[I originally opened the Incredibles] with the Parrs just at the moment they first went underground – at the beginning of their new life as a family, and Violet is a newborn. A new villian, Syndrome, discovers where the Parrs live – like a mob boss finding an FBI informant – and attacks them in their home. It was funny and creepy in a cool way, but although we ultimately didn’t use it, it did end up really helping the finished film. And I learned that getting the right scene can have a lot to do with picking the right points in a story’s time frame.”
