Sarah Vowell
In 2004, Vowell provided the voice of Violet Parr, a shy teenager, in the Pixar animated film "The Incredibles", and returned to her role for the film's sequel, "Incredibles 2", in 2018. Additionally, Vowell has also lent her voice to the character for various related video games and "Disney on Ice" presentations in the years following the film's release. The makers of "The Incredibles" discovered Vowell from episode 81 – "Guns" "This American Life", where she and her father fire a homemade cannon. Pixar made a test animation for Violet using audio from that sequence, which was included on the DVD of "The Incredibles". She also wrote and was featured in a documentary included on the same DVD entitled "Vowellett - An Essay by Sarah Vowell", where she reflects on the differences between being superhero Violet and being an author of history books on the subject of assassinated presidents, and what it means to her nephew Owen. Vowell also played Fernanda, Theacher "Aunt" Deborah and Mary Kelly in "The School Future".
List of The Incredibles characters
In "The Incredibles", Buddy Pine (a.k.a. Syndrome) (voiced by Jason Lee) first appears as a 10-year-old child who professes to be Mr. Incredible's "number 1 fan". However, Mr. Incredible, having his patience long exhausted by this obsessed child pestering him, bluntly tells the child to leave him alone. In an attempt to earn his hero's respect, Buddy Pine tries to aid him in fighting crime as "IncrediBoy", with gadgets of his own invention. Mr. Incredible declines Buddy's offer, and during a subsequent conflict between Mr. Incredible and the supervillain Bomb Voyage, Buddy intervenes and ends up with a bomb attached to his cape. Mr. Incredible's attempt to remove it leads to the destruction of a section of train tracks, which requires him to save the approaching L-Train. Mr. Incredible then hands Buddy over to the police to have them take him home and tell his mother what he's been doing. Buddy feels rejected and completely misconstrues his hero's reasons, blindly disregarding all the trouble he caused because of his reckless obsession, and rationalizing that it is simply because Mr. Incredible considers him inferior because he does not have innate powers.
