Which director voiced the character Edna Mode in The Incredibles?

The director who voiced Edna Mode in The Incredibles is Brad Bird.

Bird directed and wrote the 2004 Pixar film, but he also supplied the voice of its famously sharp-tongued costume designer. Edna is the tiny, round-glasses-wearing fashion expert who designs superhero suits and insists that capes are dangerous. Her dialogue and comic timing make her one of the film’s most memorable characters.

Edna’s voice began during storyboarding, when Bird used temporary performances to help shape scenes. Actress Lily Tomlin was considered for the role, but she ultimately declined and encouraged Bird to perform Edna himself. Bird’s distinctive delivery became the final performance rather than a placeholder.

The answer is sometimes confused with other Pixar directors such as Andrew Stanton, Pete Docter, and John Lasseter, all of whom have directed major Pixar projects. Bird, however, is the director specifically associated with The Incredibles and Edna Mode. He reprised both roles for Incredibles 2, released in 2018.
