Huck : Mine would be super speed like Dash, probably because I’m really slow in real life. If you had a superhero power in real life, what would it be? I love keeping the spirit of our favorite movies alive. It makes it so easy and I am actually glad. This is so true! Especially with digital copies and tablets, phones, connections on TV, I know that my kids are always watching their favorite movies. ![]() Violet stays alive just because of other peoples’ fandom. And so, at any given day someone is watching that movie. But I think since then because of VHS and then DVDs and now streaming, children watch these films over and over again and I’m sure, as you know, so do their parents. When I was a kid, there weren’t even VHS tapes yet and you saw a movie and it was gone. And so over the years–not a week goes by I haven’t talked to someone who wants to talk about how much they love the film or what Violet means to them. Like that lady who was Snow White got old, and she was always Snow White. It has been a while since the first film, but like when you become one of these characters - you will learn this, Huck - you are Dash until you die. ![]() So, I was perfectly happy to just, you know, move into another room and get paid to be there. I would just go there just to have lunch with them sometimes. Some of the other people who work behind the scenes, I have kept in touch with everybody. And, you know, Brad and I became friends in the first film. Sarah : I mean she and I sound a lot alike, so there’s that. What was it like stepping back into the role? Did you have any difficulty with that? She really is funny and reminds me so much of Violet’s character in the movies. People who are actors are like how do I become a voice actor…go into journalism. Sarah : It was because they were casting or thinking about casting the first film, and I think Brad was in his car listening to the radio and heard one of my public radio documentaries and was so taken with the gravitas and maturity of my voice that he heard a junior high school student who becomes a superhero in that. Sarah, how did you end up in the first movie? I would love to hear him going one on one with some of these actors/actresses! I love what she says about how you know the number of people who really believe in you – it is so perfectly phrased and I can relate to it 100 times over! I also love hearing about her recording her part with Brad. Because I mean, for those of you who get older, you know like the number of people who really believe in you and know what to do with you, it’s a pretty small number. But, you know, because I trust him and because he really does believe in me and had to because I had never acted before the first film, so that relationship - it’s been a third of my life now, I like being in that room with him. There’s a scene where Violet has to cry, and Brad was very delicate and very helpful for me and really respectful. And I was brought up to hide that stuff when you’re around people and especially sound engineers. But he’s very useful during the more emotional scenes. She’s kind of a wise guy, and that’s what I’m like. It’s always really fun to do the things that come naturally, and for me that’s Violet’s sarcasm. Like he does such a good Holly Hunter impression that if he is doing Elastigirl’s part, I always laugh first because the kids’ impressions are just so dead on. I don’t know about you (said pointing to Huck), but because he does such great impressions. And usually the first take you never use. He is an exceptional voice actor himself. He always uses the best take, and he is like really entertaining. Sarah : I just trust him so much, especially after the first film. Brad Bird made it really fun, and he just made everything really fun and it was really amazing. My dad showed me it, and I really loved it. ![]() Huck, were you a fan of the first Incredibles? I like people who are fast because they’re just fast. They only recently met (because they both recorded with Brad Bird) but the “sibling rivalry” is there. Today we are sharing our interview with Sarah Vowell (voice of “Violet Parr”) & Huck Milner (voice of “Dash Parr”). They shared so many funny and interesting things that really give a new light to the movie. Jackson (voice of Frozone) interview and “Bao” Director Domee Shi & Producer Becky Neiman interview. Incredible”) & Holly Hunter (“Helen Parr / Elastigirl”) interview, Samuel L. Read our Incredibles 2 review here when you are done with this interview. It is packed with action and everything “Incredibles”, but it is also very funny (especially thanks to Jack-Jack) and has several important themes for all different ages. Incredibles 2 just came out last weekend, and if you haven’t seen the movie yet – get to the theater and watch it.
