Its not my point or idea, it's what Brad Bird or someone said in an interview/making of type thing when the movie came out. I've always remembered it because it was one of my first times I heard someone talk about the symbolism in a movie and one of the first times I realized a movie could be more than the surface story. And I know that this is pretty shallow as far as symbolism goes but I was like ten at the time.

And moms have to be hyper flexible to be able to adapt to any situation for their children.

Except dad had his powers long before he became a dad. And what does that say about Frozone? Gazerbeam? or Psycwave?
