Jack-Jack represents all these in my life:
1. He represents LIFE.
He makes me laugh my head off with his many antics and use of powers, especially at how he laughs at his Dad who couldn't believe his powers.
2. He represents LOVE.
He adores his parents and siblings. He especially loves his Dad who amuses him a lot. He is so lovable even stern Auntie Edna warmed up to him -- only to him.
3. He represents HAPPINESS.
I love the way he taps his Dad's hand several times as he laughs at the momentary confusion of his Dad when exposed to his powers.
4. He represents PURITY.
Even as Auntie Edna called him a "tiny god" after making that suit and he laughs heartily, he becomes a baby again when he learns his father is around to pick him up.
5. He represents INNOCENCE.
He has such a lovely, wide-eyed look when faced with something new and even mistakes a raccoon for a robber because both have stripes around their eyes.
6. He represents CHARM.
By mimicking Auntie Edna's face and showing off some of his powers, he melted her heart and she shooed his Dad from the house so she can focus on Jack-Jack.
7. He represents POTENTIAL.
We know he has many powers, 17 of them it's been said, but maybe it's more. He's just playing with the energy he has, pleased with what he can do, too.
It was fun walking alongside him as he discovers his powers. It was all so perfectly-depicted, timing and all.
Here's a link wherein director Brad Bird and producer John Walker thought it would be fun to add more powers to the little one each time.
