Apart from showing us all what a full-length animated version of Marvel's Fantastic Four could look like as a blockbuster movie (sigh) - it also shows how each ability in the Parr family reflects their individual roles within the family - and more... According to creator Brad Bird, “Men are always expected to be strong, so I had Bob have super strength. Mothers are always pulled in a million different directions, so I had [Helen] be elastic. Teenagers are insecure and defensive, so I had Violet have force-fields and invisibility. Ten-year-old's are energy balls that can’t be stopped. And babies are unknown — maybe they have no powers, maybe they have all powers, we don’t know.”
That's awesome. So, Jack-Jack's varied abilities are a metaphor for how young children have infinite possibilities ahead of them in life. Very true.
