Development and creation[]
Pixar Animation Studios and The Incredibles and Incredibles 2 director Brad Bird were pitched an idea for a subsequent television series based on the franchise that would follow the end of Incredibles 2 with the Supers resuming crime fighting while delving into the domestic lifestyle of the Parrs. The series takes inspiration from Adventures of Superman and the 1967 animated Spider-Man series for the superhero side, while the side of Parrs' daily life takes inspiration from sitcoms like I Love Lucy and The Brady Bunch. Bird was brought on as showrunner, as well as executive producer.
Animation[]
Like the film series and short films that relied computer animation, the series was animated by Icon Creative Studio. Lou Romano serves as animation director, supervising the animation and movements for the characters in the series. The opening sequence was animated in 2D by Toon City, with the opening paying homage to animated openings to live-action series such as I Dream of Jeannie and the 1966 Batman series.
Writing[]
Besides serving as showrunner and executive producer of the series, Bird would write and direct a good portion of the episodes, primarily with writing storylines on the Parrs and their domestic life, while additional episodes were written by Mark Andrews, Dave Filoni, Charlie Bean, and Kent Osborne.

Music[]
