* [[Alternate Aesop Interpretation]]: Behind the friendly family action film, some fans are suspicious of phrases like "celebrating mediocrity" and "everyone is special (so no one is)", as well as the general idea of superhumans being forced to hide their incredible talents for the sake of government regulation and the selfish, (mediocre) masses. Yes, they are indeed suggesting that ''The Incredibles'' is ''[[Atlas Shrugged]]''. |

* [[Applicability]]: Some have argued that the movie is an argument for [[Ayn Rand|Objectivism]], with its theme of the characters being discouraged from living up to their full potential by society. Others counter that the message is "be true to yourself", and point out that if the movie were Objectivist, the Parrs wouldn't be using their powers for altruism. Not to mention that Syndrome the self-made engineering genius and millionaire capitalist is pretty much the sort of person Rand most admired. [[Word of God]] says that no higher philosophical meaning was intended. |

* [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment]]: The "no school like the old school" scene is this for anyone not aware of that they are Frank and Ollie of the [[wikipedia:Nine Old Men|Nine Old Men]]. Even after that, the cameo's still pretty out of nowhere. |
