The Incredibles
Animated superhero clan
The Incredibles is a 2004 Pixar animated film about a family of superheroes forced into suburban anonymity, then drawn back into action.
The title works as both descriptor and proper noun—they are incredible, and Incredible is their surname.
The film spawned a sequel and entered cultural shorthand for families with hidden talents or dysfunctional dynamics masked by normalcy: They're like the Incredibles over there.
