Pixar fans scramble to create ‘The Increggibles' and ‘Eggside Out 2' for Easter

Yahoo20-04-2025

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'.

Popular TikTok star leaves US after being detained

LAS VEGAS -- LAS VEGAS (AP) — Khaby Lame, the world's most popular TikTok personality with millions of followers, has left the U.S. after being detained by immigration agents in Las Vegas for allegedly overstaying his visa. The Senegalese-Italian influencer, whose legal name is Seringe Khabane Lame, was detained Friday at Harry Reid International Airport but was allowed to leave the country without a deportation order, a spokesperson for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed in a statement. Lame arrived in the U.S. on April 30 and 'overstayed the terms of his visa,' the ICE spokesperson said. The Associated Press sent a message seeking comment Tuesday to the email address listed on Lame's Instagram account. He has not publicly commented on his detainment. His detainment and voluntary departure from the U.S. comes amid President Donald Trump's escalating crackdown on immigration, including raids in Los Angeles that sparked days of protests against ICE, as the president tests the bounds of his executive authority. A voluntary departure — which was granted to Lame — allows those facing removal from the U.S. to avoid a deportation order on their immigration record, which could prevent them from being allowed back into the U.S. for up to a decade. The 25-year-old rose to international fame during the pandemic without ever saying a word in his videos, which would show him reacting to absurdly complicated 'life hacks." He has over 162 million followers on TikTok alone. The Senegal-born influencer moved to Italy when he was an infant with his working class parents and has Italian citizenship. His internet fame quickly evolved. He signed a multi-year partnership with designer brand Hugo Boss in 2022. In January, he was appointed as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador.

Matthew McConaughey Shares Rare Look Into Camila Alves Marriage

Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves are forgetful when it comes to this marriage milestone. The actor shared an Access Hollywood clip to his Instagram, in which Alves says "we just had one of those moments again." McConaughey and Alves tied the knot in Austin, Texas in McConaughey and Camila Alves have been married for over a decade, but even they still forget their anniversary. In a new video posted to the actor's Instagram yesterday, McConaughey shared that while they may not remember the date, they always "try to remember the meaning." In the Access Hollywood clip, McConaughey and Alves are wished a happy 13th anniversary. The couple tied the knot in Austin, Texas in 2012. "Is that it?" the couple asks in response. "Oops, we just had one of those moments again," Alves reveals. "This joke has happened many times before and we don't mean for it to happen, but for whatever reason, Camila and I never remember our anniversary," McConaughey explains. "We've been busted in many a red carpet line." McConaughey and Alves share three children together: Levi, Vida, and Livingston, who were born in 2008, 2010, and 2012, respectively. In April, the family made a rare public appearance at the 13th annual Mack, Jack & McConaughey Gala. It marked their first red carpet outing together in a year. Matthew founded the organization with football coach Mack Brown and country singer Jack Ingram, and it has raised more than $61 million for charitable ventures, specifically organizations dedicated to children's education, health, and wellness. Matthew and Camila's eldest son is set to make his acting debut alongside Chris Pratt in Way of the Warrior Kid, Deadline reported. In his first-ever red carpet interview, Levi shared the advice he's received from his dad, whose career spans over three decades. 'I mean, he gave me a lot of advice, and he was able to mentor me in a couple different ways,' Levi told People. 'But I'd say the main thing for acting—and, pardon my French—is no bullshit in your bones and own what you're doing and make a choice regardless if that ends up being the right one or the wrong one. Commit to it, and know what you're saying.' Read the original article on InStyle
