The Incredibles

Film-Originated Franchises

The Incredibles is a media franchise built around the 2004 American animated superhero film written and directed by Brad Bird and produced by Pixar Animation Studios for Walt Disney Pictures. Set in a retro-futuristic version of the 1960s, the original film follows Bob and Helen Parr, a married superhero couple known as Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl, who conceal their powers under a government ban on superheroes while trying to live an ordinary suburban life with their three children, until Bob's wish to keep helping people draws the family into confrontation with a vengeful former fan. The franchise's success, driven by its voice cast including Craig T. Nelson, Holly Hunter, Samuel L. Jackson and Sarah Vowell, led to a 2018 theatrical sequel, short films, video games and merchandise built around the Parr family and their superhero alter egos.
