13 super facts about the new ‘Paint the Night’ Incredibles float
The Incredibles join the “Paint The Night” parade starting June 23, 2018 at California Adventure park in Disneyland.
The new float is inspired by the two Disney-Pixar movies and includes, the entire family, Mr. and Mrs. Incredible, Violet, Dash, Jack-Jack and family super friend Frozone. The group is able to show off their powers in different ways.
“Paint the Night” recently returned to the Disneyland Resort for Pixar Fest and will run through Sept. 3, 2018. “Paint the Night” parade is currently making its way through Disney California Adventure Park with more than 1 million brilliant lights, high-energy music and cutting edge special effects. “Incredibles 2” is released in theaters on June 15, 2018.
Here are 13 fun facts about the Incredibles float.
1. The float connects both “The Incredibles” and “Incredibles 2,” picking up where the first film left off and portraying the scene that shows the Parr family banding together against the supervillain known as “The Underminer.”
2. Violet Parr’s’s “force field” will come to life through a custom-built persistence-of-vision (POV) globe – the first and largest ever to be installed on a Disney parade float.
3. Dash’s speed is captured through an innovative system of 64 individually lit frames, flashing as he races in circles around the float.
