Pixar films aren't really known for their soundtracks but we did enjoy this funky score from composer Michale Giacchino.
It's been too long dahlings. Here are some fun facts for your troubles.
At one hour and fifty-eight minutes, this is not only the longest Pixar film to date, but also the longest computer-animated feature film to date (beating Cars (2006), which runs for one hour and fifty-seven minutes).
The Safari Court, where the Parr family live during the beginning of the movie, is modelled on the Safari Inn, a venerable motel (and frequent filming location) that is only a few blocks from the official headquarters of the Walt Disney Company in Burbank, California.
Dash is seen eating Sugar Bombs, the chocolate-frosted version of which is the favorite cereal of another hyperactive blonde, Calvin of "Calvin and Hobbes" fame.
The mobile over Jack-Jack's crib features the abstract character shapes from Inside Out (2015). They are just random shapes representing futuristic motifs that are typical of 70's decor. However, the Luxo ball is displayed on the crib balancing on the seal's nose.
Kari the babysitter and her parents were supposed to get a cameo appearance in the opening, but writer and director Brad Bird dropped it because he thought it didn't fit the movie.
Both this film along with the OG Incredibles and all of the shorts can be found on Disney+
