History Recap / MrIncredibleAndPals

Before superheroes were forced into hiding, [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles Mr. Incredible]] and Frozone allowed an animation studio to use their images to produce the kids cartoon ''Mr. Incredible and Pals''. A pilot episode was created, but it never saw the light of day since superheroes were forced into normal life soon afterwards. Much later, the pair watch the pilot. They are not impressed.

->'''Mr. Incredible''': Hello. This is Mr. Incredible, here with-
->'''Frozone''': -Frozone.
->'''Mr. Incredible''': You know, I've actually never seen this.
->'''Frozone''': Yeah, me neither.

->'''Frozone''': Wait a second. What's this? Is that me?
->'''Mr. Incredible''': What?
->'''Frozone''': I'm white. They made me a white guy?
->'''Mr. Incredible''': You're... black-ish.
->'''Frozone''': They made me a white guy!
->'''Mr. Incredible''': Well... maybe the print's faded. You're tan...ish?
->'''Frozone''': Is that supposed to be me? I sound like a-a-a-a what? A beatnik. That's it, I sound like a beatnik!
->'''Mr. Incredible''': It was meant to sound cool.
->'''Frozone''': Well it doesn't sound cool, and it doesn't sound like me. ''I'' sound cool. And if it sounded like me, it would sound cool.
->'''Mr. Incredible''': Hang on, I'm sure it gets better.

->'''Mr. Incredible''': Hey, c'mon. Don't be like that. We're ''recording'' this.

->'''Mr. Incredible''': I was tol-[laughter]- I was told it was a new process!
->'''Frozone''': Ooh, new process?
->'''Mr. Incredible''': A breakthrough!
->'''Frozone''': And what would that new process ''be'', Mr. I? Cheap-O-Rama?
->'''Mr. Incredible''': This is breaking through!
->'''Frozone''': And that rabbit is getting on my ''last'' nerve!
->'''Mr. Incredible''': The rabbit is ''cuddly''! Kids like little cuddly sidekicks!
->'''Frozone''': I mean, gah...
->'''Mr. Incredible''': The rabbit... it's a time-tested t... okay, the rabbit bites.

->'''Frozone''': [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe Are you kidding me]]? \\
'''Mr. Incredible''': ''[[TemptingFate Don't shout-]]''\\
'''Frozone''': [[SuddenlyShouting WHAT KIND OF SHOW IS THIS]]?\\
'''Mr. Incredible''': ''Hey...you're shouting...don't shout.''

->'''Frozone''': Oh-oh-oh, ''I'' get ''caught!'' The black superhero gets caught!
->'''Mr. Incredible''': Well, a minute ago you were complaining they made you white.
->'''Frozone''': Oh, that's right- the ''tan'' superhero gets caught!

->'''Frozone''': And now you have me involved in this commentary, further connecting me to work that is clearly ''inferior'', AND CONNECTING ME TO A ''RABBIT''! DID YOU OKAY THE RABBIT?
->'''Mr. Incredible''': I HAD ''NOTHING'' TO DO WITH THE RABBIT, I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY GOT THE RABBIT!
->'''Frozone''': WELL, ''SOMEBODY'' OKAYED THE RABBIT!

->'''Frozone''': You know... we've been friends for a long time. I'm telling you, this thing should've ''never'' seen the light of day.

As the cartoon trio concludes that it was the work of of the fictional supervillain Lady Lightbug (who cartoon Mr. Incredible describes as "sinister, yet lovely") and move out to fix the problem, Frozone wonders if the cartoon is even animated. After all, the only thing is actually ''moving'' is their lips, which look like live-action human lips and are quite out-of-place in the cartoon's style. Mr. Incredible [[DamnedByFaintPraise defends it]] as having ''technically'' been animated. Frozone is also annoyed when the cartoon doesn't show him using ice to fix the bridge (instead focusing on him shooting a blue beam out of his hands, and then showing the completed bridge when he's done). And what's up with the rabbit?

->'''Frozone''': Oh-oh-oh, ''I'' get ''caught''! The black superhero gets caught!

->'''Frozone''': Oh, that's right- the ''tan'' superhero gets caught!.

The cartoon ends as Lady Lightbug curses the heroes for imprisoning her in a giant jar over the newly-repaired and good as new bridge, though where they got such a jar is anyone's guess. The narrator invites the audience to watch next week's episode, which has Mr. Incredible vs. an anthropomorphic ear of corn.

The cartoon ends as Lady Lightbug curses Mr. Skipperdoo for imprisoning her in a giant jar over the newly-repaired and good as new bridge, though how Mr. Skipperdoo imprisoned her is anyone's guess. The narrator invites the audience to watch next week's episode, which has Mr. Incredible vs. an anthropomorphic ear of corn.

->'''Frozone''': Oh, that's right- the ''tanned'' superhero gets caught!.

'''Frozone''':[[SuddenlyShouting WHAT KIND OF SHOW IS THIS]]?\\

As Mr. Incredible defeats Lady Lightbug by going up on a roller coaster to get the height needed to tackle her, the real Frozone is highly upset that his image has been sullied by association with this horrid cartoon. Mr. Incredible tries to get him to calm down by pointing out that they couldn't know that it turned out this badly and it never was actually shown on tv, but Frozone is having none of it.

Cartoon Mr. Incredible leads them to an abandoned amusement park that he thinks is Lady Lightbug's hideout. As the cartoon heroes search for Lady Lightbug (via Cartoon Mr. Incredible lifting up various structures and declaring that Lady Lightbug was not underneath them), Real Frozone once again questions the characters' too-realistic-for-the-rest-of-them lips.

Mr. Incredible explains how ''Mr. Incredible and Pals'' came to be, as the episode itself progresses to Cartoon!Mr. Incredible and Cartoon!Frozone talking about the missing bridge and the strange giant glowing screw-thing that Mr. Incredible found, with Mr. Skipperdoo contributing the occasional bounce. Frozone focuses on his cartoon self, and he's not very happy with what he sees.

As the cartoon trio concludes that it was the work of of the fictional supervillain Lady Lightbug (who cartoon!Mr. Incredible describes as "sinister, yet lovely") and move out to fix the problem, Frozone wonders if the cartoon is even animated. After all, the only thing is actually ''moving'' is their lips, which look like live-action human lips and are quite out-of-place in the cartoon's style. Mr. Incredible [[DamnedByFaintPraise defends it]] as having ''technically'' been animated. Frozone is also annoyed when the cartoon doesn't show him using ice to fix the bridge (instead focusing on him shooting a blue beam out of his hands, and then showing the completed bridge when he's done). And what's up with the rabbit?

Cartoon!Mr. Incredible leads them to an abandoned amusement park that he thinks is Lady Lightbug's hideout. As the cartoon heroes search for Lady Lightbug (via Cartoon!Mr. Incredible lifting up various structures and declaring that Lady Lightbug was not underneath them), Real!Frozone once again questions the characters' too-realistic-for-the-rest-of-them lips.

Now that the bridge has been found (and Frozone is venting about how bad the cartoon is in the commentary), Lady Lightbug (a sort of human/firefly hybrid) flies out from one of the structures that Mr. Incredible lifted up earlier. She shoots 'radioactive silk' at cartoon!Frozone, which glows, restrains Frozone perfectly, [[ArtisticLicenseNuclearPhysics and appears to have no actual radioactive properties]]. The real Frozone is naturally upset.
