Who composed the score for The Incredibles?

Michael Giacchino composed the score for The Incredibles.

Giacchino’s music gives the film a distinctive retro-spy atmosphere, using bold brass, swinging jazz rhythms, and energetic orchestral writing. That sound supports the movie’s 1960s-inspired setting and recalls classic espionage and adventure scores without copying any one earlier film.

The score was an important part of The Incredibles’ identity, especially in action scenes involving Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, and the Omnidroid. It also helped establish Giacchino as a major film composer. He later wrote music for other Pixar films, including Ratatouille, Up, Cars 2, Inside Out, Coco, and Incredibles 2.

A common mix-up is Randy Newman, who composed several other Pixar scores, including Toy Story. Hans Zimmer and John Williams are also famous film composers, but neither scored The Incredibles.
