On this day in 2004, the Disney/Pixar animated feature The Incredibles opened in U.S. theaters. Pixar’s sixth feature film (presented by Walt Disney Pictures) centered around a family of superheroes. It was written and directed by Brad Bird, known for directing TV’s The Simpsons and the 1999 animated movie The Iron Giant. (He later went on to direct Ratatouille.) The Incredibles was originally developed as a traditionally-animated movie for Warner Bros., but after Warner shut down its animation division … Bird moved to Pixar and took the story with him!
