Popular interpretation of the 2004 Pixar movie 'the Incredibles' is that it's Objectivist, as in that it holds to the principles that were laid out by Ayn Rand in her various books such as 'Atlas Shrugged', 'the Fountainhead' etc. etc. The basic idea that 'the Incredibles' shares a similar philosophy to Rand's works, where often an exceptional person or group of people are held back by the mediocrity of the government and are prevented from achieving their potential (in Rand's work it's, for example, the government keeping people from becoming stinking rich, while in 'the Incredibles' it's regular people forcing superheroes into retiring and taking up dull, pedestrian lives where they're not allowed to use their powers publicly). Are some of these criticisms accurate? ...Well a with all interpretations of media, there are a lot that seem to make a lot of sense, but the creators didn't seem to think that the Objectivist slant was that accurate.
I don't really either, to be honest. Here's my interpretation...
