Elastigirl

Helen Parr (née Truax), also known as Elastigirl or Mrs. Incredible, is a fictional character in Pixar's The Incredibles franchise. A superhero with superhuman elasticity, she can stretch and contort her body to extreme lengths. The wife of Bob Parr (Mr. Incredible) and mother of Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack, she first appears in the animated film The Incredibles (2004), where she and her family emerge from government-mandated retirement to defeat Syndrome. In its sequel, Incredibles 2 (2018), she is hired to lead a public relations campaign in relegalizing superheroes while a new villain intends to sully their reputation permanently.

The character was created by the film's screenwriter and director, Brad Bird. He gave her elasticity to reflect the roles of mothers being pulled in different directions to support and care for their families. Disney obtained permission from Warner Bros. to use the name "Elastigirl" in the film, which she shares with a DC Comics character. Animators used a layered rig system and custom deformation tools to animate her stretching abilities while maintaining an attractive, human appearance. One of the most significant challenges for the animators, she was the most complex rig Pixar had used up to that point. She is voiced by actress Holly Hunter, who did not read from a script when recording her dialogue.

Helen and Hunter's performance received a positive reception from film critics.
