Can you believe it’s been 20 whole years since The Incredibles first hit theaters?

This animated gem, directed by Brad Bird, completely changed the game for superhero movies when it debuted in 2004.

With its perfect mix of action, humor, and heart, it quickly became a fan-favorite for Pixar lovers, kids and adults alike.

We got to know the incredible Parr family—Bob, Helen, Violet, Dash, and the adorable Jack-Jack—who struggle to juggle everyday life while trying to keep their superpowers under wraps.

Join us as we celebrate two decades of this beloved classic by revisiting the top 20 quotes that we still love to use this day.

(Note: Since we couldn’t possibly choose, these are not listed in any particular order)

Best quotes from The Incredibles

Edna Mode…and guest. – Edna Mode

Let’s begin with one of the most iconic quotes from one of the most beloved characters in the movie, Edna Mode (who will appear more than once on this list).

I feel different. Is different okay? – Violet

This quote may seem simple, but Violet’s journey of discovering her self-confidence will always be iconic.

I think you need to be a bit more flexible. – Elastigirl

There was never a shortage of passion in Bob and Helen’s relationship from the very beginning, as demonstrated by this flirty line.

Look, I’m The Dash. The Dash likes. Yeah-hah. – Dash

Dash’s excitement at seeing his super suit for the first time is always fun to watch.

Mozart makes babies smarter – Kari McKeen

Although poor Kari would go on to lose her memories of babysitting Jack-Jack, she was proven right about the calming effect Mozart has on this overpowered baby in The Incredibles 2.

Behold, the Underminer! I’m always beneath you, but nothing is beneath me! – The Underminer

The Underminer is an underrated villain who remained a mysterious figure for ’00s kids until 2018, when we finally got to see the Incredibles face off against him in The Incredibles II.

Girls, come on! Leave the saving of the world to the men? I don’t think so! – Elastigirl

We stan a feminist icon.

No capes! – Edna Mode

Another iconic line from Edna Mode, one that made us question the practicality of superhero outfits for years to come.

We’re dead! We’re dead! We survived but we’re dead! – Dash

Another hilarious line from Dash that never fails to make us laugh. Of course, one can never truly be afraid with a mom like Elastigirl.

No matter how many times you save the world, it always manages to get back in jeopardy again. Sometimes I just want it to stay saved! You know, for a little bit? I feel like the maid; I just cleaned up this mess! Can we keep it clean for… for ten minutes! – Mr. Incredible

We feel you Mr. Incredible, we feel you.

Mom and Dad’s lives could be in jeopardy, or worse – their marriage. – Violet

Much like Hermione Granger, Violet could use some help sorting out her priorities. However, she’d soon discover that she had nothing to worry about.

Oh, ho ho! You sly dog! You got me monologuing! I can’t believe it… – Syndrome

We were all impressed by Mr. Incredible’s sneaky tactics to distract the villain.

Hey, c’mon. We’re superheroes. What could happen? – Elastigirl

Seriously, is there a more iconic superhero couple than Mr. and Mrs. Incredible?

Pull-yourself-together! “What will you do?” Is this a question? You will show him you remember that he is Mr. Incredible, and you will remind him who *you* are. Well, you know where he is. Go, confront the problem. Fight! Win! – Edna Mode

We all wish we had such a supportive and encouraging friend like Edna Mode.

Valuing life is not weakness. And disregarding it is not strength. – Mirage

A surprisingly deep line from Mirage, and of course, we agree.

Coincidence? I think not! – Bernie Kropp

This might be the most iconic meme to come out of the film. Sound off in the comments if you still use it regularly to this day—we certainly do!

Your identity is your most valuable possession. Protect it. – Elastigirl

As usual, Helen is absolutely right. She truly excels at bolstering her kids’ confidence.

I never look back, darling! It distracts from the now. – Edna Mode

Iconic doesn’t even begin to describe Edna Mode. Needless to say, the future of superhero fashion is in excellent hands.

Where’s my super suit? – Lucius

For many, especially married couples, this was probably the most relatable scene in the entire movie.

‘Greater good?’ I am your wife! I’m the greatest good you are ever gonna get! – Honey

And, of course, it had to follow what is arguably the greatest line ever delivered by an off-screen character. We love you, Honey!

An Incredible legacy

The Incredibles is just the kind of film that stays with you long after the credits roll.

It has become more than just a beloved animated movie; it’s a cultural classic that sparks conversations about heroism, family, being yourself, and the magic of love and teamwork—lessons that still hit home over two decades later.

We will certainly be watching the film tonight in Disney+ to celebrate. Perhaps even a double feature with The Incredibles II. How about you?
