2. The Incredibles
There’s one word that describes The Incredibles; I’ll give you three guesses, and none of them count because the answer is obviously “incredible.” Again, the story is king. Here it’s a world of persecuted superheroes and a superhero family dealing with those implications by forcing themselves to hide who they are. Plus, The Incredibles was Pixar’s first film to star human beings. While the others films allowed audiences to project their feelings onto lovable creatures, seeing and relating to real (but still immensely lovable) people changes everything. Then, of course, there’s its subversion of the superhero genre, its dissection of comic book tropes—and so many other things going on, too. But ultimately, The Incredibles is about family, and that gives it its own superpower.
