Abilities

Violet Parr is a fictional character in

Helen Parr (Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl), Violet is born with the superhuman abilities to render herself invisible and generate force fields. Voiced by Sarah Vowell
, Violet is a shy junior high school student who longs to fit in among her peers, a task she believes is hindered by her superpowers. Throughout the course of the films, Violet gradually matures and becomes more confident in herself as both a young woman and a superhero.

Violet's creator, screenwriter and director Brad Bird, decided to grant Violet the ability to turn invisible because he felt that this specific superpower mirrors some of the challenges that teenage girls experience while growing up, namely insecurity and defensiveness. Bird cast Vowell as Violet upon listening to her contribute a real-life story about her father to the radio program This American Life, with Violet ultimately becoming Vowell's first voice-acting role. Vowell identified with the character's shy, insecure nature, in addition to observing similarities between Violet's relationship with Bob and her relationship with her own father.

New computer technology was developed to animate Violet's hair, which animators identified as the most difficult component of The Incredibles since such a large quantity of hair had never been featured in a computer-animated film before. The character's hair serves as an important aspect of Violet's character development, which demonstrates her steady increase in self-confidence as she gradually ceases to hide her face behind it.

Reception towards Violet has been positive, with film critics commending her character development and relatability, as well as Vowell's vocal performance. Critics have also heavily compared Violet to the comic book superheroine the Invisible Woman, whose superpowers she shares. The character's likeness has since been used in several tie-in media and merchandise associated with the films, including toys, books and video game adaptations.

Development

Creation and casting

Screenwriter and director

National Public Radio program This American Life, to which Vowell is a frequent contributor.[2][6][7] During one of Vowell's regular appearances on the show,[2] Bird heard her contribute an anecdote about a cannon she had helped her father, a gunsmith, build.[5][8] Bird wanted to cast Vowell based on her description of the event,[5] deciding that she was "perfect" for the role, which he immediately called to offer her.[2] Vowell had already earned a reputation for declining several voice acting jobs prior to The Incredibles, to the point at which her agent warned Bird not to waste his time.[6] However, Vowell states that she simply avoided pursuing voice roles in general because she was content being a writer and found few animated projects particularly interesting prior to The Incredibles.[9]

Violet is voiced by author and radio personality Sarah Vowell (pictured), a role director Brad Bird cast her in after hearing her recall a childhood story about her father on the radio program This American Life. Violet was Vowell's first voice acting role.

The animators animated a rough test sequence to some of Vowell's dialogue from the radio segment about her father's cannon, in which Violet is depicted being startled by a gun that repeatedly fires in her hands.[5] Despite experiencing some hesitation due to having never voiced an animated character before,[2] Vowell accepted the role after receiving an e-mail from the film's producer, agreeing to participate in The Incredibles because she believes that Pixar is consistently "the best at what they do", comparing the offer to politician Nelson Mandela "asking for your help to fight racism".[5] She had also been a long-time fan of Bird's work as a filmmaker.[9] Vowell ultimately accepted the role based on a sole image she had been sent of the character: a drawing of Violet surrounded by her schoolmates, all of whom appear to be happy and outgoing apart from Violet herself, who is instead hunched over and hiding behind her hair. Vowell concluded, "I can be that kid. I was that kid. I love that archetype of the morose, shy, smart-alecky teenage girl."[5]

tone of voice possibly influenced Bird's decision to cast her as a teenager.[9] Vowell admitted that she shares Violet's "inability to stop pushing people's buttons", citing their tendency to voice their opinions about any given topic and gift for making various situations awkward as similarities.[11]

Voice

Sarah Vowell found the recording process somewhat similar to working in radio, apart from the fact that the process required more standing, gesturing and working closely with a director.

deadpan delivery due to animation being broader in tone and demanding more "exclamation",[12] identifying the process as more similar to stage than film acting because, like the former, "animation ... require[s] more and bigger things." She revealed that voicing a teenage girl involved more acting than she had been expecting since she was "raised to be a stoic person."[8] For the scene in which Violet and her family's plane crashes into the ocean, Vowell drank from a water bottle while gurgling and gulping to simulate the sound of a person drowning. Despite using a towel as a bib, Vowell still got considerably wet during the process. Vowell found the process of producing non-verbal sounds such as laughing, yawning and screaming on cue to be the most difficult component of the job, a task that working in radio had hardly prepared her for. During her first recording session, the actress struggled to sound as though she had just been hurt and thus asked Bird to hit her arm to help her replicate the sound of being punched.[5] Vowell recorded her character's screams closer towards the end of filming in order to preserve her voice, calling the process "fun" and claiming, "I don't think I had screamed ... for about 20 years" at that point.[5]

Vowell found the opportunity to voice a superheroine "thrilling" because she considers herself to be "more of a walking Woody Allen movie" in real life due to her fears of driving and swimming, joking that it is "fun to listen to my voice do things [in film] that ... it would never get to do." Vowell also admitted that she tends to sound "cartoonish" and young for her age,[12] elaborating that voicing Violet "lead[s] into some of my insecurities ... when you worry you sound like a cartoon and then someone sends me a message [asking] do I want to be in an animated movie … I guess I am who I am."[8] Bird maintains that Vowell "knocked it out of the park" with her performance,[6] although Vowell claims that her acting required a lot of additional direction due to being less experienced, believing that Bird was drawn to "the extra challenge of an unformed performer."[9] Producer Nicole Paradis Grindle agreed that Vowell "genuinely thinks the way Brad [Bird] wants Violet to think", which contribute to her deliveries being "spot-on".[13] Despite her success, Vowell maintains that she is not an actress, describing herself as merely "a writer moonlighting" as an actress for The Incredibles and insisting that she would be "mortified" if she were required to act in the presence of anyone apart from Bird, whose directing she trusts greatly, explaining, "I trust that he’ll be able to find something in me or he’ll be able to inspire something in me, and he’ll also be able to find the take that is the best one."[8]

Vowell stars in a documentary about her work in the film, Vowellet: An Essay by Sarah Vowell,

dry sense of humor with Violet. To-date, the Incredibles films remain Vowell's only animated film roles.[11]

Personality and design

Bird had always been more interested in developing the personalities of the film's main characters than their superpowers.[3] When it came time to determine the Parr family's powers, Bird decided to draw inspiration from the roles of typical nuclear family members,[18] basing both their superpowers and personalities on these traditional archetypes.[19] Describing Violet as "a typical teenager ... not comfortable in her own skin" who resides "in that rocky place between being a kid and an adult", Bird felt that invisibility would be the most suitable power for the Parr family's only daughter.[2] Describing her as a young woman who would much prefer if other people avoided looking at her,[3] Bird elaborated that some teenage girls are prone to feeling insecure and defensive,[20] and thus gave her the abilities to become invisible and create protective shields.[18][21][22] According to Vowell, Violet's superpowers of invisibility and force fields are, much like the rest of her family, "psychologically representational of who she is"; a teenage girl who longs to remain hidden and protected;[5] the actress described her as a young woman "trapped between childhood and maturity, between self-confidence and insecurity" like many teenagers.[13] Bird sought to balance the adventurous and "ordinary" components of the family's lives, explaining that audiences would appreciate and relate to moments when Violet uses her powers in the event that she feels humiliated.[23] In terms of music, composer Michael Giacchino developed a theme for Violet that he described as "coy and mysterious".[2]

Although the films are set roughly during the

desaturated" color scheme,[24] incorporating a variety of cut-off jeans, sneakers and sweaters into her attire to compliment her rebellious personality.[25] Furthermore, the majority of the character's clothing during the first film are variations of the color purple, alluding to her name. Violet was costumed in a pink shirt towards the end of the film in order to demonstrate that she is now "much more open– sort of like she’s blossoming as a teenager." Imagire identified the character as "the perfect example of where we didn’t go mid-century; we went modern with her" instead.[24] For the sequel, the increasing complexity of Violet's force fields required the animators to create new effects; although they remain visually similar to the first film, Violet "is able to do more with her force fields, so we had to figure out how that changes the look of her force fields," including sound effects and static as they interact with other objects, according to effects supervisor Bill Watral.[13]

Hair

The Incredibles required the use of

research project" for much of the film's production due to its type and length, which had never been featured in a computer-animated film prior to The Incredibles.[28]

For the majority of the film's production, Violet's character model was entirely bald.

recessive gene.[6]

Violet's hair required animators a total of six months to fully

Mirage's hairstyle, which was originally quite long until Sayre begged the filmmakers to adopt it into a shorter and "cooler" variation due to the amount of time and effort that had already been spent on creating Violet's hair.[6] Due to the technological advancements that computer animation has undergone since the original film was released, for the sequel animators were able to revisit and replicate Melton's more intricate, original design for Violet's hair, which "flows much more freely" in Incredibles 2.[29] Despite these achievements, however, simulation supervisor Tiffany Erickson Klohn admitted that animating the character's hair remained challenging due to its requirement to be "silky and straight" but be subject to "some breakup" during action-oriented sequences, combined with the fact that Violet has a larger head despite being small in frame, meaning that "there's very little for her hair to rest on" when she moves. According to character art director Matt Nolte, the filmmakers agreed that Violet's hair would be worn back entirely for the sequel to emphasize "that she's not scared anymore."[13]

Characterization and themes

Insecurity, introversion and sarcasm

Originally depicted as a shy, timid and

Sacramento News & Review wrote that "Violet hides behind a goth persona when not using her invisibility or force field to repel human contact."[39] A writer for IGN likened the way in which Violet's hair drapes across her face to actress Veronica Lake.[40] However, she grows more confident in both herself and her abilities as the film progresses, eventually emerging from behind her hair,[41] using a headband to wear her it back and adopting a more colorful wardrobe.[31][42] Grindle explained that the character successfully "turned a corner at the end of the first movie" to the point of which she is finally able to ask her crush on a date, which she partially attributes to her beginning to believe in herself as a result of fighting crime alongside her family.[23] Violet is 14 years old,[43][44] she weighs approximately 90 pounds (41 kg) and she is 5'’ 3' (160cm) tall.[31]

According to the character's official character description in

ReelViews' James Berardinelli observed that Violet "has entered that gawky stage of life when her body becomes uncomfortable to inhabit."[48] Identifying her as an "oral character", John Kundert-Gibbs, author of Action!: Acting Lessons for CG Animators, Violet's main arc revolves around transitioning "from being invisible to visible to others."[49] According to Daphne Carr, author of Nine Inch Nails' Pretty Hate Machine, Violet adheres to "the archetype of the introverted, introspective artist-type kid."[37] Oliver Lyttelton of IndieWire believes that Violet has more in common with actress Thora Birch's character Enid in the film Ghost World (2001) than most teenage girls.[10] Observing that Bird approached the character designs in a manner that is "less cute" and more edgy than previous Pixar characters, Jeff Otto of IGN likened Violet to the goth teenager Lydia Deetz (Winona Ryder) from the film Beetlejuice (1988).[50]

In Incredibles 2, female characters contribute a more central role to the plot, with Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter observing that Violet has begun "to spread her wings".[51] However, she remains an awkward teenage girl "with the power to make herself invisible (although not, sadly, to make the boy she has a crush on really see her)", according to Slate's Sam Adams,[52] with the film exploring her "adolescent, boy-crazed sanity" and first broken heart,[53][54] to which she reacts by consuming ice cream and throwing her clothes.[55] At times, Violet can be so concerned with her own struggles that she fails to notice some of the situations that are affecting the rest of her family, although she maintains the importance of family.[56] Vowell observed that Violet's temper is explored much further in Incredibles 2, in which she cries and yells out of annoyance and passion, summarizing the character as "a hormonal teenager."[8] The actress believes that her character "can be hilarious" at times, "but her humor has some bite to it ... She has a tendency to comment a little too truthfully about any given scenario ... For better or worse, if she thinks it, she says it", describing Violet as incapable of "edit[ing] uncomfortable thoughts."[13] According to Syfy Wire's Heather Mason, Violet's role in the sequel is to "break the tension and bring the superheroes back to reality" by "say[ing] what they are all thinking."[11]

Much like her brother, she often chafes against her mother's insistence that her family refrain from using their powers in an attempt to live like "normal" humans.

superhuman speed, is "in love" with his own abilities,[58] thus the siblings constantly bicker about their differences.[59][60]

Powers and abilities

Violet is born with the

crush.[31][67] This behavior establishes the character as a social outcast.[68] Las Vegas Weekly's Josh Bell identified Violet's invisibility as "the physical manifestation of the effects of peer pressure."[69]

The Incredibles follows Violet as she learns to control her powers.

Tor.com's Mari Ness believes that Violet's gradual acceptance of her powers reinforces that "happiness comes only after people embrace the extraordinary".[76] Vowell observed that by the sequel, Violet has consequently become skilled and confident to the point at which she starts enjoying her powers, "so as the new film starts, she wants more. She wants to use her powers. She wants to be out there."[72] Violet ultimately grows incapable of resisting the temptation to fight crime alongside her family.[46]

Violet can use her power of invisibility to render herself either wholly or partially invisible at will.

Syndrome's robot.[59] Additionally, Violet has also been identified as highly intellectual.[82]

Violet's superpowers are very similar to those of the

Susan Storm-Richards),[30][45][84][85] a Marvel Comics superheroine and founding member of the superhero team the Fantastic Four.[86][76] Fans of the film quickly identified similarities between the two characters when the first film was released in 2004.[87] Contributing to IGN, comic book historian Peter Sanderson identified Violet's powers as "The real giveaway of the F. F.'s influence on The Incredibles".[40] Similar to classic Marvel superheroes, the character is under the impression that her powers make her different from most people, and considers herself to be an outsider as a result of this.[40] According to Eric Lichtenfeld, author of Action Speaks Louder: Violence, Spectacle, and the American Action Movie, the character has also demonstrated the ability to manipulate the energy produced by her force fields, much like the comic book superheroine.[88]

At the end of the film, Violet simply re-introduces herself to Tony. Just as the characters are about to begin their first date, Violet postpones it so that she can help her family fight criminals instead, promising to rejoin him afterward.[106]

Reception

Critical response

Violet has garnered positive reviews from

Vulture.com's Abraham Riesman described Vowell's voice acting as "terrific".[129] In addition to praising Vowell's performance, Carla Meyer of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote that her character ultimately "emerges as the most sympathetic member of the family".[60] In a retrospective review, Jonathon Dornbush of IGN cited "Violet’s sense of isolation and misunderstanding" among the main reasons The Incredibles remains "a deeply relatable, enduring film" and "one of Pixar's best".[130] Slate film critic David Edelstein acknowledged the difficulty of animating Violet's hair while calling her ability to create force fields "to die for".[7]

Germain Lussier of

Syfy Wire writer Kristy Puchko described Violet's reaction to being stood up by Tony as "all too familiar".[55] Writing for Vulture.com, Edelstein called it "wonderful to hear Sarah Vowell and her euphonious quack as the irritable Violet," describing the character as "the quintessential brilliant but ever-stricken and angry teenage girl."[104] The New Yorker's Anthony Lane wrote that Vowell "still provides the pitch and yaw of adolescent speech—now tetchy, now timid, but touched here and there with a determination that might just save the day."[133]

Some critics complained that the character was underused in the sequel.

Screen Daily's Tim Grierson wrote that the character's "awkward dating woes all streak by too quickly."[136] For Screen Rant, Molly Freeman observed that the character's arc "largely exist[s] to serve Bob's own storyline". Writing that while Violet's storyline offered "a great deal of potential" by "exploring how a child with superpowers growing up in a world where superheroes are illegal could affect her sense of self", Freeman criticized it for being "boiled down to either focusing on her dating life or providing a challenge for Bob to overcome." However, the critic acknowledged that Violet is provided with several opportunities "to demonstrate [her] visually compelling superpowers."[137]

Accolades

Vowell's performance and character have proven to be particularly popular among young women and teenage girls, from whom she continues to receive positive feedback.[76] Cosmic Book News crowned Violet "the teen-queen of sarcasm",[23] while Michelle Lima of Oh My Disney wrote that the character boasts "some seriously amazing sarcasm skills."[138] Ana Luisa Suarez of Hollywood.com considers Violet's sarcasm to be among "15 Reasons Why 'The Incredibles' Is The Best Superhero Movie".[139] Rolling Stone ranked Violet the 20th "Best Pixar Movie Character", ahead of Mr. Incredible (24th), with author Alissa Wilkinson calling her "super-smart ... which makes the moment when she finally transforms into a confident superheroine ... that much more delightful."[32] Hypable ranked Violet the third best Incredibles 2 superhero, with author Aaron Locke writing, "It would be great to see Violet take on an investigation of her own."[83]

Pajiba ranked Violet Pixar's ninth best female character.[140] IndieWire ranked Vowell's work as Violet Pixar's 19th greatest performance, writing that her "quirky tones perfectly captures the kind of girl who wishes she could (and in this case actually can) fade into the background," continuing, "the way she eventually finds her own voice is one of the most moving aspects of the film."[10] Similarly, The Playlist also ranked Vowell's performance 19th.[141] The Cinemaholic ranked The Incredibles the third best film featuring invisible characters, with author Clarisse Tenreiro writing that Violet "possesses perhaps the coolest power of" the film's characters.[142] In 2017, Violet served as inspiration behind the BBC article "Can a 'superpower force field' protect us from hackers?", in which technology writer Matthew Wall likened cybersecurity firm Bromium anti-malware software to the character's abilities several times.[143]
