The Film: The Incredibles (2004)

The Moment: After hiding their abilities for so long, the Parr family finally get a chance to let loose - and have to, if they’re going to survive an encounter with Syndrome’s goons on his island.

The sheer, unadulterated joy of watching young Dash finally open up to his true potential (and top speed) will surely force a grin and gape to your face – even if you’ve never cracked a comic book open in your life.

In Their Own Words: “You have a husband and wife who had used their abilities and to sublimate them, and then you have kids who were never encouraged to use them,” explains Brad Bird.

“So, what would it be like for those kids to finally unleash their full potential? And then you have the story of a guy who’s living in the past, and a mom that’s so living in the present that she’s cut off a certain part of herself that is still alive.

“It should come through that Helen gets a little bit reawakened as well. She thinks that she’s not missing anything, but it turns out that she is a little bit.”
