The Incredibles (2004)

The Incredibles (2004) is the greatest superhero family drama ever made, earning $631 million worldwide on a $92 million budget—a 6.8x return that outperforms many of its live-action rivals. Brad Bird spun a tale of mediocrity, exceptionalism, and midlife crisis that gives it surprising depth for a family film, while Pixar’s animation delivers elastic fight choreography that rivals Akira’s kinetic battles.
