It’s been said that every time you make a movie, you actually make three movies: the movie you write, the movie you shoot, and the movie you edit. We were fortunate enough to have a conversation with the award-winning editor-and long-time Pixar veteran-Stephen Schaffer, about the process of making a Pixar film, and what it’s like to work with Pixar director Brad Bird. If early box office receipts and critic reviews are any indication (it broke the record for an animated film opening, and as of this writing sits at a 94% Rotten Tomatoes rating), the second installment of the Parr family’s wacky adventures is on track to be as big a hit as the first. He must have finally gotten his great idea, because, this weekend, the world finally got to see the long-awaited sequel. For years, fans have asked: “When do we get to see the Parr family suit up again?” And for years, director Brad Bird replied, “I’ll make it when I have a great idea.” But since its release in November 2004, Pixar has given us two Toy Story sequels (and a third is in the works), two Cars sequels, and a Finding Nemo sequel. The film was an instant hit, and as a superhero flick, it all but cried out for a sequel. But at its core, it’s a story about family, fitting in, and wrestling with the recognition of one’s inherent value and self-worth.
On the surface, it was a high octane, fun-filled superhero romp.
Nearly fourteen years ago, the animation powerhouse Pixar released one of its most critically and commercially successful films to date… The Incredibles.
