-There's a phrase called "Hartman Hips" amongst Animation Aficionados these days, and it revolves around the tendency for modern cartoons to give their female characters (especially moms) IMMENSE hips to showcase their age/shapeliness. It's named for Bruce Hartman (of
Danny Phantom/Fairly Oddparents fame), though he was not the designer, nor the inventor of the concept. It generally gets used because it can make the women look attractive, but without setting off the Censorship Watchdogs who don't like the typical OTHER uses of overt sexiness (like large busts, especially). It also looks sufficiently cartoony to pass in a show full of weird character designs, AND fits the more "Mature" characters (like Mrs. Fenton, Dexter's mom, etc.) to signify their age. This results in TONS of shows using the Hartman Hips on mature female characters, averting the Jessica Rabbit physiques and giving butt-lovers a whole lot of enjoyment (since wide hips generally produce a protruding buttocks).
-Why do I mention this? Because DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN Helen Parr has it going on back there! While not short-shrifting her in the frontal area, they made it look like she's smuggling a pair of basketballs in the back of her pants. And while I'm normally a breast guy (
we get our own Secret Menu at Taco Bell, don't you know- "hee I brought my copy because I knew you wouldn't believe me"), I can appreciate the glories of a woman of corpulent buttocks enough. Add in my love of MILFs, and I'm gravy- you have your #3 Hot Disney Female after Their Royal Flawlessnesses, Belle & Elsa.
-And amazingly,
The Incredibles 2 only INCREASES this nature, as Brad Bird no doubt recognized how attractive his character was, and left us dozens of long, lingering shots of her curvy body in that tight grey thingie. I mean, they even showed her shimmy up a staircase, FROM BEHIND, shaking it the entire way. There's NO WAY that was all by mistake. There were actually a ton of close-ups of her prodigious bosom, too, as if they's somehow realized they underscored that in the prior film. This is arguably the most overt fanservice Disney's ever shown outside of
Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
Oh Yeah, the Actual CHARACTER:
-Oh yeah and the character is nice, too
. She's the standard Mom Archetype to start (home enforcer, the strict one, the one always lecturing the husband), but gets to show her serious side when she goes chasing after her husband when he disappears, bringing the children along and trying to coach them on how to be Supers (and failing a bit, especially at first). Holly Hunter does a really good job- her raspy voice indicates some age and wisdom, and she comes off much more uncertain of the future than Bob (who's either just happy to be adventuring, or is stunned and beaten by life). It's kind of unusual to see a Stretchy Hero power-set used for a female character (it fits skinny males more because they're less... rounded bits to stretch out), but since the movie has a "Fantastic Four" vibe going on, and they REALLY went to town on how the CGI for that would work, it fits.
-She turns out to be AMAZINGLY competent, too. Her super-spy act is far in excess of Bob's, and gets even better in the sequel, where her Action Heroine stuff by driving a motorcycle reaches beyond superhuman levels (the cycle appears in tons of Merch, but is only in one short scene before it blows up), and she even figures out the Screenslaver's whole act (only seconds too late). Helen's excitement in
The Incredibles 2 is actually REALLY fun, as she's unsure of becoming a solo heroine, or Deavor's plan ("I'm not all DARK and ANGSTY!"), but she suddenly gets right into the groove of it, and then her joy at saving the day is palpable and wonderful ("I SAVED A TRAIN!!!"). She spends a ton of time under mind control, but comes back at the end to stop the bad guy. The sequel was really HER movie in a way, as much as the first one was Bob's.
About the Performer: Holly Hunter is a well-respected actress who shows up in a lot of art films (which means she's naked a lot). Good-looking but not in that "Mainstream" way, she's a beloved star for more arsty films, appearing in
Broadcast News,
Raising Arizona, and
The Piano.
-Helen is slightly more expensive, but a Power Level below, her husband Bob. She has great accuracy to counter her lower power (though she hits pretty hard), and is tougher to hit, and oddly doesn't seem to suffer many flaws due to age the way Bob did (he had to "Everybody Needs a Montage" his way out of his old-man gut and flabbiness!). She's as good a fighter as ever, can stretch just fine, and in the sequel, she's effortlessly pulling off impossible stunts with her motorcycle, basically showing off Brad Bird's directing skills. Hell, I actually upgraded her by almost twenty points just because of the sequel, boosting her Investigation, Vehicles (by a LOT), Perception and other abilities. Really, she's as good as she ever was in her prime and hasn't lost as step at all, instead merely moping about her glorious, resplendent buttocks... okay enough about her butt, I promise.
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN that butt!!
