We saw The Incredibles on Sunday — what a fun, fun film. Pixar continues to impress me with their animated features, which are hip and cool, funny both for younger audiences with enough pop culture references to keep geeks like me amused. The ultra-cool score also rocks, and is definitely worth getting.

By far my favorite character in the film is Edna Mode (”E”), the fashion designer to the world’s “Supers”. She’s this fabulous amalgamation of Edith Head, Karl Lagerfeld, and Rei Kawakubo. Voiced by director Brad Bird, she practically steals the film whenever she’s on screen. She also gets some of the best quotes in the movie:

Edna ‘E’ Mode: For the infant suit, I cut it a little roomy for the free movement; the fabric is comfortable for sensitive skin; it can also withstand a temperature of over 1000 degrees. Completely bulletproof; and machine washable, darling. That’s a new feature.

Helen Parr: What do you think this baby is going to be doing?!?!

Edna ‘E’ Mode: I am sure I have no idea, darling. Luck favors the prepared.
