The Incredibles soundtrack was composed by Michael Giacchino. It is the first Pixar film to be scored by Michael Giacchino. Brad Bird was looking for a specific sound as inspired by the design of the film — the future as seen from the 1960s. John Barry was the first choice to do the film's score, with a trailer of the film given a rerecording of Barry's theme to On Her Majesty's Secret Service. However, since Barry did not wish to duplicate the sound of some of his earlier soundtracks, the assignment was instead given to Michael Giacchino.
The completely orchestral score was released on November 2, 2004, three days before the film opened in theaters. It won numerous awards for Best Score and was nominated for a Grammy Award. Music used for the film's trailers but not available on the soundtrack album includes "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", from the Propellerheads album Decksandrumsandrockandroll, as well as excerpts from the David Arnold project Shaken and Stirred. The animated short Jack-Jack Attack, which accompanied the film's DVD release also features the "Alla Turca" movement from Mozart's Piano Sonata No. 11.
