Who directed The Incredibles?

The Incredibles was directed by Brad Bird.

Bird also wrote the screenplay and voiced Edna Mode, the film’s brilliant and blunt costume designer. The project marked his first feature with Pixar after he had directed The Iron Giant for Warner Bros. Feature Animation in 1999. He brought several members of his earlier creative team into the production.

The film follows Bob Parr, Helen Parr, and their children as they return to superhero action after years of forced retirement. Bird shaped the story around family relationships as much as superhero spectacle, combining comic-book imagery with a retro-futuristic version of the 1960s.

The other listed names are prominent Pixar filmmakers, which makes them plausible distractors. Andrew Stanton directed Finding Nemo and WALL-E, Pete Docter directed Monsters, Inc., Up, and Inside Out, and John Lasseter directed Toy Story and Cars. None directed The Incredibles. Bird returned to direct Incredibles 2, released in 2018.
