Summary
Incredibles 3gets a promising tease from Pixar Chief Creative Officer Pete Docter. The third installment inThe Incrediblesfranchise was formally announced at D23 Expo in August, with the confirmation that Brad Bird would return as director and is hard at work at developing the story. Bird wrote and directed both previous installments of the Pixar franchise, which were massive critical and commercial successes, withthe originalIncredibleswinning the Best Animated Feature Oscar and nominations for Best Original Screenplay and Best Sound Mixing.
In a recent interview withFandangoat D23, Docter teased Bird’s return toThe Incrediblesfranchise. Praising the filmmaker as an amazing collaborator, Docter discussedhow he always puts passion at the forefront of his work, which is evident in a movie likeRatatouilleonce it’s analyzed on a deeper level. Check out his full comments in the quote and video below:
Brad [Bird] is an amazing collaborator. He’s so fiery and passionate. Different people work different ways. He’s a guy who needs a little more time to build up the steam to get the passion and the power going. I think we’re at that point now. And we’re not sharing any details right now, because it’s still pretty malleable in terms of what the story is actually about. The great thing about Brad’s films, when you look at Ratatouille, on one level, it’s a fun romp about a rat that wants to cook. But, really, when you dig deeper, it’s about “What does it take to do that?” The passion versus opportunity. He’s always got these deeper sociological ideas, and so I think that’s where we’re starting from.
The filmmaker’s love of the characters gave it a unique imprint.
While not much is known aboutIncredibles 3’s story, and not much will be known for a long time, the news of Bird returning to helm the picture is a great sigh of relief for the franchise. Many Pixar franchises had different filmmakers to helm sequels, such asthe upcomingToy Story 5, which will not be directed byToy Story 4’s Josh Cooley and instead helmed byWALL-E’s Andrew Stanton. However, in the case ofThe Incredibles,only Brad Bird can bring to life the characters he created on screenat the level they are treated.
5 Ways Incredibles 2 Is Pixar’s Best Sequel (& 5 Ways It’s Finding Dory)
Pixar found huge success with The Incredibles 2 and Finding Dory, but which movie is the superior sequel? Let’s weigh them up.
Bird has a unique style that no other filmmaker working at Pixar can replicate. He has further pushed the boundaries of what is possible in animation with each project he brings to life, whether directly at Pixar withThe IncrediblesorRatatouilleor even withThe Iron Giantin 1999.Bird has always treated animation as an art form and mediumand blended genres within his stories to have a universal appeal that kids and adults can enjoy on the same level.
Incredibles 2was the fourth highest-grossing film of 2018, making over $1.2 billion at the worldwide box office, and was also nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.
This drive is also why his live-action debut withMission: Impossible — Ghost Protocolworked, as he treats animation with the same techniques and shot compositions as live-action directors. It’s part of why his movies always feel incredibly detailed and vivid, and it’s also why Bird is the onlylogical choice to helmIncredibles 3.Audiences may wait a long time for the movie,as he’s in the middle of makingRay Gunnfor Netflix and Skydance Animation, but Bird has more than earned the time he needs to get the story right for the third installment inThe Incrediblesfranchise.
