“I explained to (director Brad Bird) that if I put on the miniskirt now that I wore (before motherhood), it would show a lot of skin.”Īt Grindle’s behest, tights were added to Elastigirl’s suit.Īnd there was some talk about “when she checks out her butt in the first movie,” Grindle says about Elastigirl, who in a scene is sighing about how her new red suit looks on her mom-bod. One conversation she remembers having about Elastigirl, while making the original "Incredibles," was about how the character should look when she puts her super-suit back on, years after taking it off and having children. When Grindle was working on the first “Incredibles” film as a simulation manager focusing on the way clothes looked on the characters, she used her own body to inform the character. On “Incredibles 2,” filmmakers inadvertently made a different kind of statement, that Elastigirl’s curvy body is beautiful. But after there was backlash including a petition begging Disney to take down the sexier Merida image because it sends young girls a negative message, the new Merida images were removed from the Disney site.

“With ‘Brave’ there was a whole (national) conversation about her body shape,” says Alicia Malone, correspondent for the movie ticketing website Fandango and author of “Backwards & in Heels: The Past, Present and Future of Women Working in Film.” "They changed Merida to look like other princesses," she said. But then Disney temporarily gave the character a glammed-up marketing makeover online, with a skinnier waist and makeup, as part of her induction into the “Disney Princesses” collection. “Brave” featured wild-haired archer Princess Merida whose central conflict was with her parents, not with a man.

On the plus side, "Moana" is brave and strong, and "Frozen" features sisters whose central relationship is with each other. Elastigirl is a far cry from the rail-thin, one-dimensional Disney princesses of yesteryear that include a "Little Mermaid" who literally gave up her voice and changed her body for a man.ĭisney Pixar has had mixed results in its quest toward embracing women's dimensions in animation. Sure, she does have a minuscule waist as part of her unrealistic, caricature look but the fact that Disney has welcomed - and the public has embraced - Elastigirl's curvy body type and natural-born-leader attitude (there's even a social-justice Elastigirl Persists Twitter account) shows a step in the right direction toward female inclusion on-screen. The capable Elastigirl is notable for being the female protagonist of an action movie and yes, for her thighs and booty. It’s a word that has been approvingly used to describe Rihanna (“Thiccana”) and stars including Kim Kardashian West and Christina Hendricks.Īnd now it describes an animated mother of three who skillfully drives a motorbike, flies a plane and devotes herself to her family. Some examples of commentary about Elastigirl in tweets include: "Elastigirl is dumbbbb THICC," as writes "how many squats do i have to do to be as thicc as elastigirl?" asks and then there's this pun: "elastigirl? more like elasTHICCgirl," tweeted “thicc” has become internet-speak for having a voluptuous lower body. She’s attractive as a woman with dimensions.”
What’s that mean? As “Incredibles 2” producer Nicole Grindle recently found out from her 23-year-old son, the creative spelling of the word “thick” describes Elastigirl as “not a little pencil. It’s been 14 years since Pixar fans laid eyes on Elastigirl, but fans are learning something about the super-mom as the sequel "Incredibles 2" rolls into theaters.Įlastigirl, aka Helen Parr, is “thicc” - so say hundreds of fans on social media.
