IMO Its appeal is that its a solid 8 out of 10 across the board.
The story is deep enough for adults but structured well enough for kids. It doesnt pander to boys or girls. No cheesy soundtrack or "scrappy do" bullshit. No terrible voice acting choices (Jack Black probably would have done a great job as Syndrome.) Dad kicks ass, Mom kicks ass. Its somehow almost a parody of a superhero movie while being better than most of them at being one. Somehow theres way less cinematic cringe bullshit than any Marvel movie. Its not just good as a kids movie or as an animated movie. Its a straight up GOOD MOVIE that you can put on for a room with 4 generations in it and its unlikely anyone will hate it.
Its no best movie ever made but I have a 6yo and when I hear "Can we watch The Incredibles?" It's an automatic yes.
This right here. It wasn't groundbreaking but rather simply extremely high in quality.
There's this one meme video that people always talk about where someone dubbed over one scene with Sonic as both voices, yet people still forget the joke and get sucked into the plot regardless because it's just that good.
