So , he presses a push on the dashboard of the Incredibile – which made for a really nerveless toy if you were a Thomas Kid in 2004 – that come out dressing him in his superhero costume . The cable car drives itself as Bob is slump back and a couplet of mechanisms put the costume on over his tuxedo . It was a neat way to launch the movie and introduce its unparalleled tone .

Before too long , the jet plane are firing missiles at them .
