Craig T. Nelson, Holly Hunter, Sarah Vowell, Spencer Fox, Jason Lee, Samuel L. Jackson, and Elizabeth Peรฑa lend their voices to the popular characters. The Incredibles earned over $631 million against a budget of $145 million.

In a review from The Guardian, the film critic notes The Incredibles is an โ€œall-conqueringly funny and blastingly energised family comedy.โ€ The reviewer praises its versatility, adding, โ€œThere’s something of X-Men, the Fantastic Four, Spy Kids and also the quirky retro-feel of TV shows like Get Smart and the 1960s Batman. But as ever with Pixar, influences are subsumed into something new, something supercharged with insolent originality and modernity.โ€

Its follow-up, The Incredibles 2, was released in 2018. In the sequel, The Incredibles familyโ€™s new mission involves a change in family roles with Mr. Incredible having to manage the house while his wife Helen Elastigirl is sent out to save the world.

Against a budget of $200 million, The Incredibles 2 earned over $1.2 billion by the end of its theatrical run. In a review by The Guardian the reviewer notes the sequel โ€œoutshines the original.โ€ The reviewer adds: โ€œSlapstick genius, profound social comment and a monstrously funny infant combine to conjure a magical second outing for the superhero family.โ€

Craig T. Nelson, Holly Hunter, Sarah Vowell, and Samuel L. Jackson reprise their roles from the mothership film, and newcomers include Huckleberry Milner, Bob Odenkirk, Catherine Keener, and Jonathan Banks.
