Incredibles

Parr family film

The Incredibles is a 2004 Pixar animated film about a family of superheroes forced into suburban anonymity.

The title plays on the idea of incredible powers—the family name is Parr, making them literally "the Incredibles." The film and its 2018 sequel have made the name recognizable shorthand for a superhero family or for extraordinary abilities hidden beneath ordinary appearances.
