In & Out

        In most of the Hero Projects, one thing that stuck out was how the call to adventure was an internal call. For example, in our movie The Incredibles, the character is called literally by a human; however it is his drive to do good that he is motivated to fight. In another groups project, they explained how Jack from The Nightmare Before Christmas, felt like he was missing something in his life. This caused him to start his adventure. Both of these examples come form the characters heart, not from an external/literal call.

Another reoccurring theme is how the boon/elixir is also internal. In The Incredibles, his boon is the idea of family importance. In Life of Pi, Pi's boon is remembering what is important in life. This is not a physical boon, like in The Hobbit where Bilbo finds a ring.

In each poster, the groups explained a mentor. For most groups, the mentor was very obvious. For example, Bilbo Baggins relies on Gandalf to help him though. Gandalf clearly was a key to Bilbo's success. However in other movies, like Pirates of the Caribbean, Will Turner thinks that he hates Jack Sparrow, when Jack is indirectly helping Will determine his destiny.

This is similar to our movie in how Mr.Incredible see's Mirage to be a friend in the beginning, then an enemy, then a friend again. Because of this, he has many mixed feelings about her. She does work for the man trying to kill Mr. Incredible, however saves his whole family in the end. Mentor's are a very important part of life, especially to people who don't know it yet.
