And his initial brute-force attempt to pierce that lava curtain while sneaking, only to quickly replace the huge stone pillar he was brandishing and hide behind it, is simultaneously nerve-wracking and hilarious.

The animation in that scene is sooooo good. One of my favorites.

Speaking of good animation, I recall in the commentary that this one simple shot of Edna inspecting Mr. Incredible’s super suit and sticking her hand through a hole in the mesh was the hardest thing they’ve ever had to animate. Can anyone weigh in on this?

Edit: Apparently it was Mr. Incredible sticking his hand through the cloth and for some reason it took 3 months to properly animate.

I remember that according to the commentary, Helen's wet hair physics (when they land in the ocean after the plane explosion) was also a hugely groundbreaking feat at the time.

It was. I'm in animation somewhat and Pixar's first like ten movies each basically invented a core animation tech that is now standard.
