Music from The Incredibles

Michael Giocchino, arranged by Jay Bocook

Music from The Incredibles  This animated superhero film from 2004 is set in Metroville, a retro-futuristic version of the 1960s. Bob Parr (Mr. Incredible) and his wife Helen (Elastigirl) try to live a quiet suburban life with their children Violet, Dash and Jack-Jack while still being called on to save lives and battle evil. The music is written in the campy style of a mid-1960s spy thriller.

Michael Giacchino (b.1967) composes for film, television, and video games. He was born in New Jersey of Italian descent and attended the School of Visual Arts in New York City. He worked at Universal Pictures and Disney and on video games. His accolades include an Oscar for Up (2009), an Emmy for Lost (2004), and three Grammys.
