Whatever you may think or say, "The Incredibles" was truly a cultural reset. Even when the sequel came in 14 laters late, people of all ages still anticipated its return—because that's how iconic it was for an animated film.

Well, it's a work of Pixar, and that alone says everything. Even when the first movie was released back in 2004, it significantly became a huge success and a standout even when other iconic animated films have been released in the same year, including Disney's Home on the Range and even Shark Tale.

That being said, Pixar has its own catalog of excellent animated films, which include the ever dashing movie of "Cars" (2006) and the elegantly executed "Ratatouille" in 2007, but even more than a decade later, "The Incredibles" has remained in the hearts of the people whose childhoods were spruced up by this animated film. When the movie was first released, the studio was already at that point in their success that they didn't even need to splurge a hefty amount for advertising for the craze to happen all over the world.

The moment that a movie had the word "Pixar" on it, it's guaranteed that it's going to be a hit and with The Incredibles, that certainly proved to be true. Kids and parents have already grown up with their classics like "Toy Story" (1995) and "Monsters, Inc." (2001) and they all believed that Pixar will always deliver the same kind of quality and content as they did for their past few films.

Now, more than a decade later, everyone is still fawning over Pixar's works such as "Coco" in 2017, and "Inside Out" in 2015. Not only that their stories are a real tear-jerker even if you watch it as a grown person, but the amount of effort it took to create these movies is also certainly one of the best ingredients this studio has for their success.

If there's one thing that Pixar is now notoriously known for, it's their amazing attention to detail all throughout their movies. People even unearth details that they have missed the first time they watched these movies, even if they only discovered it more than ten years later!
