THE OVERVIEW
Mark your calendars! To ring in Disney’s grand 100-year jubilee, ‘The Incredibles’ is making a heroic re-entry into movie theaters for a limited two-week stint starting September 1. First released in 2004, the film was nothing short of a blockbuster, raking in a staggering $632 million globally while also snagging the Oscar for Best Animated Feature. ‘The Incredibles’ chronicles the lives of a once-retired superhero and his gifted family, who unite to take down the nefarious villain, Syndrome.
A Disney Nostalgia Overload
As part of Disney’s milestone 100th anniversary, they’re dusting off their prized classics and bringing them back to where they shine brightest—the cinema. Among these cinematic jewels is the 2004 animated marvel, ‘The Incredibles’, which is all set for a two-week run starting on the first day of September. Directed and penned by the maestro Brad Bird, the movie not only snagged an Oscar for Best Animated Feature but also picked up the accolade for Best Sound Editing. Financially, it was the fourth highest-earning film of its release year, raking in $632 million worldwide. But its impact wasn’t just limited to box-office digits; it garnered universal acclaim for its artistic direction, groundbreaking animation, and a narrative that flipped the superhero genre on its head.
A Deep Dive into ‘The Incredibles’
The narrative takes place in a world where “supers” are banned from public heroics and are instead forced into a life of anonymity. Our main guy, Bob, a retired superhero known for his extraordinary strength and stamina, grapples with suburban life but also pines for the days of crime-fighting glory. Soon, Bob gets tapped for a covert mission, which he keeps hush-hush from everyone, including his shape-shifting wife, Helen. When the mission goes sideways, and Bob is taken captive, it’s up to his uniquely talented family to band together and thwart the villainous Syndrome—a former die-hard fan turned bitter foe after being snubbed as Mr. Incredible’s sidekick.
A Voice Cast to Die For
Giving life to these animated figures is a star-studded voice ensemble that includes Craig T. Nelson lending his vocals for Bob, also known as Mr. Incredible. His equally gifted wife, Helen, or Elastigirl, is voiced by Holly Hunter. The couple’s children, Violet and Dash, are brought to life by Sarah Vowell and Spencer Fox, respectively. And let’s not forget the supporting crew—Jason Lee as the vengeful Syndrome, Samuel L. Jackson as Bob’s ice-cool bestie, Lucius Best, aka Frozone, Elizabeth Peña as Mirage, and director Brad Bird pulling double duty as the unforgettable Edna Mode.

Man, I cant believe its been almost 20 yrs since The Incredibles came out. Time flies! Disney’s 100th tho, that’s gonna be epic!
632 million in 2004? That’s crazy numbers, even by todays standards. Gotta say, the movie earned every penny.
the music was lit too. dont forget it had one of the best scores.
Brad Bird is a genius, end of story. The Incredibles was groundbreaking back in 04 and it still holds up. Can’t wait to see it in theaters again!
Two weeks only? They’re really creating that FOMO, aren’t they? Well, it’s working. I’m there, day one.
Yassss! This is how u celebrate a century! Bring back the classics, like seriously. best animated feature for a reason, ya know?
OMG this takes me back! The Incredibles was like my whole childhood. Booking my ticket asap, no joke.
Syndrome was the first villain that I kinda agreed with, but also hated? Complex characters, thats what set this movie apart for me.
2 oscars! People forget how big this movie was. Not just a commercial hit, but it swept up awards too.
Finally, something both me n my kids can enjoy. They’ve only seen it on a small screen, theater experience is gonna be a game-changer!
