The short consists of a "behind the scenes" look at what happened when Jack-Jack began exhibiting signs of super powers while he was being watched by his nice but harried babysitter. It fills in the missing portion of the film between the arrival of the sitter and Jack-Jack coming to the rescue. A wonderful and not to be missed addition to an excellent film. Watch it and be prepared to have a great time.
The voice and slight speech impediment (actually braces, causing it) is hilarious. Kudos to Bret Parker for a great job in here as "Kari."
This a baby-sitter who has Superman-like powers and other weird things turning into a ball of fire. Of course, the unsuspecting baby-sitter totally freaks out. It's all fun to watch - just wild scenes after another including a film noir-like opening and closing scene with a detective that's going to make sure Kari doesn't reveal what she's seen.
Bizarre, to say the least, but a fun four minutes with tremendous visuals.
In short this needed far more scenes off Jack-Jack to truly add this onto the Disney mantel. With the majority off scenes featuring the baby sitter this 5 minutes only left me unfulfilled.
Although fans of Incredibles will get enjoyment out of this extra content. Showing you what really happened with those voicemails that were left from the baby sitter. Giving you a futher look into this universe and how Syndrome got his hands on Jack-Jack.
It is worth a watch but please give us more Jack-Jack!!
It flows perfectly with the movie. Only this shows what we didn't see during the movie. So anyways Dick Ricker the Parr family's lawyer who keeps their location safe from any danger. Questions Kari on what happen when she babysits Jack-Jack.
We get to see her get all confused and freaked out when Jack-Jack transforms and does unexpected stuff during the baby sitting.
It's very funny for a short film. It's highly recommended to those who want to know what happened between Kari and Jack-Jack.
You're able to see this short on the Incredibles DVD.
Kari the babysitter has no idea what she's getting into when she subjects baby Jack-Jack Parr to this "neurological stimulation". Jack-Jack is the youngest of the Incredibles, a family of superheroes who are off saving the world. They all think Jack-Jack has no powers, but as Kari is about to discover, the truth is very different!
For anyone who has seen the Incredibles, this is a hilarious and indispensable little outtake from the main plot. I laugh myself silly every time I see it. Poor Jack-Jack has to put up with Mozart and flashcards, while Kari runs around trying to figure out where and what he is. All babysitters who have had something unexpected occur on the job will have an inkling of how bewildered Kari must be.
The moral of the story: When a baby has developing superpowers, avoid the "campfire" flashcard!

- TriviaThis was originally meant to be included in Les Indestructibles (2004). The scene was ultimately cut and then expanded into a short and specially made for the DVD release of Les Indestructibles (2004).
- GoofsKari plays Mozart music for Jack-Jack. In the movie, Kari states to Helen that "Mozart makes babies smart." while holding a Mozart CD. Listening to Mozart or classical music does not enhance intelligence.
- Quotes
[doorbell rings. Kari rushes to door, exhausted]
Syndrome: Is this the Parr residence?
Kari: [maniacally] Yes! I'm Kari - the babysitter!
Syndrome: Well, hello - Kari.
Kari: You're my replacement, thank heavens you've come! What does "S" stand for?
Syndrome: It stands for... sitter. Yeah, sitter. I was originally going to have initials for babysitter but then I would be going around with a big BS, and you can understand why I couldn't do that.
