Auntie Edna

During the events of Incredibles 2, Edna Mode takes charge of watching Jack-Jack, hoping for a simple babysitting gig. Instead, she encounters a rapidly changing infant who flickers between powers and moods, turning the evening into a test of improvisation. Edna swaps out outfits and gadgets with surgical precision, crafting stylish safety measures and clever tricks to keep track of the baby's shifting abilities. The scene balances brisk physical humor with a gentle look at patience, mentorship, and the quirky bond that forms when an industry icon lets her guard down around a family's most unpredictable member. It stays playful and light without revealing any major twists.

Released in 2018, this animated short was directed by Ted Mathot and draws from the Incredibles universe, based on Pixar's The Incredibles. Brad Bird voices Edna Mode, with familiar Parr family voices returning.

Critics of this kind of side story often highlight its breezy pacing and inventive visuals. The film foregrounds mentorship and family, as Edna's exacting style meets Jack-Jack's unpredictable powers, creating humor that feels affectionate and a touch sentimental without getting heavy-handed.
