10 More Film Secrets That Were Hiding In Plain Sight

10. It's Set In 1962 - The Incredibles

No matter how many times you've seen The Incredibles, have you ever stopped to think about its time period?

Pixar's classic superhero animation adopts a retro-futuristic aesthetic which makes its precise year tricky to pin down, featuring a mix of technology both decades old and brand new in its release year of 2004.

While most likely assumed the film itself also took place in that year, its true setting is actually revealed early on, when we see Mr. Incredible (Craig T. Nelson) reading a newspaper at home after a long day at the office. Look closely and the date can be made out - May 16th, 1962.

Brad Bird has since stated that he modelled the film's visual style off what people in the 1960s thought the future would look like, hence the collision of period and contemporary tech.

Furthermore, given that the movie's prologue - where "supers" are outlawed - takes place 15 years prior to the rest of the story, we can deduce that the film kicks off all the way back in 1947. Fancy that.
