Trivia: The kid on the tricycle is an inside joke representing the real life personality of John Lasseter, the chief creative officer at both Pixar and Walt Disney Feature Animation. During production of his films, he is usually waiting for something amazing to happen in regards to the animation or special effects, and later (during production) has been heard several times to remark of such amazing results as "totally wicked".

Trivia: Helen's pilot call number when she is flying the jet is India Golf Niner-Niner, or "IG99" for short. This is a deliberate reference by Brad Bird for his earlier film, The Iron Giant, which came out in 1999.

Trivia: The family's last name, Parr, was chosen on purpose, as it sounds exactly like the golf term "par" - which means average. This was done as a clever pun to further point out that Bob literally went from an "Incredible" to "Average" when superhero work was banned.

Trivia: Craig T. Nelson is the voice of Bob Parr. When he accidentally breaks the car door and mutters to himself, you can hear him saying "Oh geez." This was written in once Nelson was cast as Bob Parr, as this is a phrase of frustration commonly used by Nelson's character on the "Coach" show.
