Reinterpreting memorable characters in Incredibles 2

ABSTRACT

Unlike other Pixar sequels in which characters must be resurrected, on Incredibles 2, we were encouraged to delve into the original archived character designs and deliver on qualities that could not be achieved prior to 2004 when the first Incredibles was made. More than any other film, we leaned on 2D drawing and design techniques to drive the way we modeled and rigged. We share our methods on how we both redesigned and stayed true to the essence of these legacy characters.
