The Incredibles: Production

Walt Disney Pictures’ The Incredibles was released in the fall of 2004 and it features the voices of Samuel L. Jackson, Brad Bird, Jason Lee, Spencer Fox and Holly Hunter. 

The movie follows a family of super heroes who had given up fighting in order to adjust in the quiet sub urban life in Metroville. However, Mr Incredible goes to a secret mission, ultimately enforcing his family to rescue the world from total destruction.

Incredibles is directed by Brad Bird and the idea of a super hero family came from drawings he made in 1993. The movie was also inspired from his life as he was trying to focus on his new family which demanded more of his time. He thought he would completely
fail at one if he focused too much on the other. Bird commented, “Consciously, this was just a funny movie about superheroes. But I think that what was going on in my life definitely filtered into the movie.”

Incredibles was initially developed as a traditional animated film for Warner Bross. However, due to financial disaster of Looney Tunes Back in Action in 2003, Incredibles was put on hold. After Brad told this story to John Lasseter, he was convinced to
come to Pixar where the movie would be done in computer animation. It is the first full-length Pixar film whose main characters are human. 
Brad’s story was difficult to animate with CGI at that time and creating an all-Human cast required creating new technology to animate detailed human characteristics including clothes, ski and hair.

In a 2009 interview, Up producer Jonas Rivera discussed how Bird’s approach to film making differed from the process previously used by Pixar, "We almost treat it like a live action movie, we build a set – say, Andy’s room in Toy Story – and we get a camera,
we actually ‘location-scout’ it, check out all the angles with the characters on the bed, or whatever, and we take that back and start building a layout based on that, and shots come and go. Whereas Bird is like, ‘This is the exact shot I want, then I want
this shot, and then this shot, and I don’t want to see one pixel over to the right.’ … There was a reason for it. The scope of The Incredibles was so big: for example, Monsters Inc had 31 sets, The Incredibles had 89, that’s a lot of work. Brad was willing
to sacrifice flexibility for scope."

John Barry was originally selected to do the film’s score but he did not wish to duplicate the sound of some of his earlier soundtracks. As a result Michael Giacchio was selected to do the movie’s score.
