Storyline

In a dark room, Agent Rick Dicker interrogates Kari, a young girl with braces. He asks what happened. Kari explains that she was babysitting for an infant, Jack-Jack, who seems able to levitate, float, pass through walls, catch fire, and cause havoc. Kari stays nimble but barely holds on until an odd young man with orange hair and an "S" on his shirt rings the bell.

[Rick Dicker turns the light on]
Kari: Wow! And now it's too bright!
Agent Rick Dicker: File 82-7-0-2. Agent Rick Dicker interrogating. State your name, please.
Kari: Kari McKeen. It's like Carrie, only with a K instead of a C, and an "ah" instead of an "a", only one R, and an I instead of an I-E.
Agent Rick Dicker: Tell me about the incident.
Kari: Well... It started out like any normal sitting gig, you know, with the reassuring of the parent and all.

Cute little DVD Extra

Some DVD Extras are of scenes that are so good, you know they should've been in the original movie. This is not one of them -- it's so good it shouldn't be in the original movie. If you're one of the few who hasn't seen THE INCREDIBLES,(2004) I strongly suggest doing so, and I should also add that doing so ought to be a requirement before seeing JACK-JACK ATTACK(2005), because to do otherwise would spoil the ending of the original movie.

As Brad Bird narrates on Disc 2, he likes movies in the theaters as much as he likes DVD's. So he made this animated short telling viewers what kind of chaos went on while Jack-Jack Parr was being taken care of as the rest of the Parr family was out saving the world from Syndrome. Judging by the phone calls with Helen Parr, it sounds like some evildoer got to Kari(wrong), and we wonder if this babysitter survived(she did). But since this is a short, that's all I'm going to tell you about it. You'll have to get a copy of THE INCREDIBLES on DVD yourself.
