Pixar fans scramble to create ‘The Increggibles' and ‘Eggside Out 2' for Easter
From the Incredibles to Up, there was no shortage of creativity from parents and their children when it came to making egg-tastic projects for school competitions.
Parents across the country have been taking to TikTok to post the egg-centred creations their children have made in the lead up to Easter.
In Birmingham, Megan Ensor's five-year-old son Caleb Dove recreated characters from Pixar animation The Incredibles including Edna Mode, also known as 'Eggna Mode', and Jack-Jack using hard boiled eggs.
He and his mother used paint to mimic the characters' hair and fine liner pens to draw faces on the eggs.
'I've got two sons and both of them are obsessed with The Incredibles, especially Jack-Jack, so we were fiddling around with names and I just thought of one scene in particular, which was when Jack-Jack was fighting with a racoon in Incredibles 2, and I just incorporated that with eggs,' Ms Ensor, who is 25 and works as a cleaner, told the PA news agency.
'We thought of the name the Increggibles, which made my son really excited.'
The project – which also features other elements including a car made from cardboard and houses constructed with card – took roughly a week-and-a-half to create.
'There was a lot of cutting and sticking and my son was having fun with the glue stick and putting it all together,' she said.
'When all the box was done, we decided to move on to the eggs which took hours.
'When we were boiling them, I lost about two because they completely cracked.'
Despite not winning with his entry, Caleb provided some Easter joy to social media users through a video of his creation, which was shared by his mother under the TikTok handle @meganensor and has received hundreds of views.
'I was not expecting that,' Ms Ensor said. 'We had a really good laugh with it, it was so much fun.'
In Lancashire, Janeane Kearney, 34, has been busy over the past two weeks working with her two daughters – Isla Slater, 10, and Eva Slater, eight – on their separate entries for their respective classes' egg competitions.
Isla's project, which pays homages to Pixar movie Up and features hard boiled egg versions of main characters Russell and Carl Fredricksen and the famous balloon house, won first place.
Eva, however, did not have the same luck as her sister, with her offering – a take on Inside Out 2 called 'Eggside Out 2', complete with egg versions of the emotions including sadness and anxiety – missing out on victory.
Speaking through the process for both entries, Ms Kearney, who is a counsellor, told PA: 'For the Up house, real eggs was used for the figures and polystyrene eggs used for the balloons.
'We used cardboard boxes and cut them up to make the house from scratch using a picture off Disney to make it as realistic as possible.
'We used hot glue, acrylic paints and wire too and a shoe box for the base.
'For the Inside Out 2 entry, we used hard boiled eggs for the emotions and painted them using acrylic paints, (used a) shoe box for the base, polystyrene eggs for the 'memories' and cardboard to make the shoots, the tower and also the control desk.'
Eva was not too disappointed by her defeat as a TikTok her mother posted on her egg-cellent endeavour under the handle @xjaneanex went viral after being viewed by over 130,000 people which she said 'helped soften the blow' of losing.
A video on Isla's entry similarly went viral, racking up over 170,000 views and over 3,000 likes.
'I did not expect the videos to get as many views as they have… it was also lovely to read people's comments,' Ms Kearney added.
The Kearney family are not novices in the art of egg decorating competitions, having made other prize-winning designs over the years including their unique adaptation of SpongeBob SquarePants and the other members of Bikini Bottom, as well as Taylor Swift's lesser known counterpart, 'Taegg Swift'.

Recently, social media, stages, and backstage have been filled with moments that melt hearts by showing the most human side of artists — from Maluma walking on the beach with his daughter Paris, to Mike Bahía wakesurfing with his little Kai, to Alexander Sánchez — son of Alejandro Sanz — declaring with tenderness that 'he is the best dad in the world' during a Q&A at Billboard Latin Music Week last October and more. We have rounded up 16 memorable scenes, all captured on photos and videos, that show the more family-friendly side of Latin music idols. Moments that remind us that being a father is also an art and, for many of them, the most important act of all.

'I went to my first WAG event, so I'm going to show you everything I got,' Lenee said, referring to the goodie bags they received at the Seaside Soirée, which took place at Hawkers restaurant in Neptune.

'I get nervous around people and I always feel like I come off as standoffish or mean,' Lenee said Wednesday while getting ready to attend the Jaguars' open practice. 'Because I'm not a person that's openly inviting or in tune — I don't put myself in conversations. But it's really because I'm so nervous. ' All the ladies here are very welcoming and were understanding of that. I think there was a lot of girls like me where we were kind of like nervous, but there were a lot of returning wives and, of course, they're comfortable with each other. And I know I'll get there… it was my first time meeting everyone.' She added that the women shared information on how to get game tickets and where the best seats in the stadium are located — along with the best places in Jacksonville for beauty appointments. Lenee returned to social media around the time of her wedding after going private in late 2024 due to public scrutiny over her relationship with Hunter. The Jaguars open the 2025 season against the Carolina Panthers in Jacksonville on Sept. 7.

How Miley Cyrus really feels about dad Billy Ray's surprising romance with Elizabeth Hurley: ‘I'm being an adult about it'
Miley Cyrus used to be young, but now she's handling her parents' new relationships like a grown-up. The singer shared her feelings on her father Billy Ray Cyrus' romance with Elizabeth Hurley during Saturday's episode of the 'Interview' podcast, explaining she's 'being an adult' about the situation. 'At first, it's hard because the little kid in you reacts before the adult in you can go, 'Yes, that's your dad, but that's just another person that deserves to be in his bliss and to be happy,'' she said. 'So my adult self has caught up.' The 'Flowers' hitmaker also confirmed she and her father are no longer estranged after their reunion at her brother Braison's 31st birthday party earlier this month. The father-daughter rift reportedly dates back to 2022 when Billy Ray and Miley's mom, Tish Cyrus, announced they were divorcing after nearly 30 years of marriage. 'I think timing is everything. You know, there's been enough bridges now of time to get us all reconnected,' the pop star said. Miley added that she's had to learn to '[respect] her parents as individuals.' 'My mom's really loved my dad for her whole life,' she continued. 'And I think being married to someone in the music industry and not being a part of it is obviously really hard.' Miley, 32, admitted that she 'took on some of [her] mom's hurt' during her parents' breakup. 'But now that my mom is like so in love with my stepdad Dom, who I also just completely adore. And now that my dad, I see him finding happiness outside of that too, I can love them both as individuals instead of as a kind of, you know, a parental pairing,' she said. Tish married 'Prison Break' actor Dominic Purcell in August 2022. In April, the 'Achy Breaky Heart' hitmaker sent shockwaves when he revealed his relationship with the 'Austin Powers' actress, 59, over Easter weekend. In the snap, the two-time Grammy winner, 63, planted a kiss on Hurley's cheek as she smiled. A source exclusively told Page Six last month that the couple has 'been friends for a long time and both found themselves single at the same time.' The country music singer's new relationship came nearly a year after he finalized his contentious divorce from Firerose in August 2024.
