  • About the Film

    It takes a will of steel

    to hide your superhero talents from a world that still needs you, yet no longer appreciates what you can do. Battling a bulging belly and a boring job, Mr. Incredible longs for the glory days of upholding law and order while his superhuman family tries to fit in with their "normal" life. Relief from quiet suburbia finally comes years later, when the family uncovers a diabolical plan and must bring together their respective strengths to save the day.

  • The Story Process

    "I’d always thought of

    The Incredibles as a tribute to the pop mythology of my youth, a gumbo of spy movies, comic books, and favorite television shows,” says director Brad Bird. “But I realize now that the other half of its ingredients came out of personal anxieties about family, work, expectations, and the special gifts we are all given but don’t always appreciate.”

  • The Characters

    The Parr family's

    superpowers were based on their personalities. As a dad, Bob had to be the strong one. Mom Helen had to handle being pulled in all directions. Violet, the insecure teen, doesn’t want people to look at her. Dash represents a typical hyperactive boy. And baby Jack-Jack is all about undiscovered potential.

  • The World

    The world of The Incredibles

    evokes the future as imagined in the early 1960s. Pixar designers found inspiration in television shows like Jonny Quest, the early James Bond pictures, and Walt Disney’s original Tomorrowland.

  • New Team Members

    Pixar had already

    established itself with a string of innovative and successful films when John Lasseter decided to add new blood. Brad Bird had already created the highly regarded Iron Giant when he came on board, bringing with him an idea about a family of superheroes. For the film that would become The Incredibles, the team enlisted prolific composer Michael Giacchino, who became another valued member of the Pixar family.

  • The Sound of The Incredibles

    Filled with a fantastic array

    of futuristic gadgets, devices, and vehicles, The Incredibles required the Pixar team to come up with sounds for things that never existed. One sequence featured Dash being chased by Velocipads. "No one knew how a Velocipad should sound," recalls sound designer Randy Thom, “but they had to sound dangerous.” Adds Thom, “I had to fabricate more new sounds for The Incredibles than any other film I’ve ever worked on.”
