Which 2004 Pixar film won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature?

The story behind the answer

The 2004 Pixar film that won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature is The Incredibles. Written and directed by Brad Bird, the movie follows the Parr family, superheroes forced to hide their abilities after a government ban on superhuman activity.

Craig T. Nelson voiced Bob Parr, or Mr. Incredible, and Holly Hunter voiced Helen Parr, or Elastigirl. Their children Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack complete a family whose powers create both the film’s action and its emotional core. Pixar also had to develop new animation techniques for realistic human anatomy, hair, skin, and clothing.

The Incredibles won the Oscar at the 77th Academy Awards, where it also received the award for Best Sound Editing. It was nominated for Best Original Screenplay and Best Sound Mixing as well. Finding Nemo won the same category the previous year, while Shrek 2 was nominated but did not win.
