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.

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.
