"Incredibles 2" Soundtrack Lyrics

"Incredibles 2 (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)" – Album Guide to Tracks and Key Scenes

Overview

How do you top one of the most beloved superhero scores of the century? You don’t — you double down on its DNA. Michael Giacchino’s Incredibles 2 soundtrack returns to brassy, big-band spy writing, then threads new motifs for Elastigirl’s solo run, Screenslaver’s menace, and a home-front comedy engine that never quits.

The album (Walt Disney Records, June 15, 2018) runs ~75 minutes and is score-forward: kinetic set pieces (“Train of Taut”), crisp gag stings (“This Ain’t My Super-Suit?”), and a swaggering end-credit suite. Three vocalized character theme “jingles” — for Mr. Incredible (“Pow! Pow! Pow!”), Elastigirl (“Here Comes Elastigirl”), and Frozone (“Chill or Be Chilled”) — cap the program like vintage TV bumpers.

Questions & Answers

Who composed and produced the score?

Michael Giacchino composed and produced the soundtrack.

Which label released it and when?

Walt Disney Records released the album digitally on June 15, 2018 (CD followed June 29).

Was it recorded with a live orchestra?

Yes — sessions took place 2017–2018 at the Sony Scoring Stage.

Are there songs in the movie?

Beyond diegetic TV/source stings, it’s a pure score film; the “songs” are the playful, vocalized character themes heard over credits.

What’s the big end-credit cue called?

“Incredits 2” — a nine-plus minute victory lap through the film’s motifs.

Notes & Trivia

• The three character jingles were conceived as in-universe branding — Winston Deavor even hums them in the film.
• The track list hides a parade of puns: “Train of Taut,” “A Tony Perspective,” “Out and a Bout.”
• Giacchino’s daughter Grace is credited for the brief “Chad Tonight Talk Show Theme.”
• The album peaked on UK Soundtrack Albums; the film’s music team previously defined the franchise sound in 2004.

Genres & Themes

Big-band spy jazz → competence and velocity. Trumpets, bone punches, and walking bass sell Elastigirl’s precision and the family’s teamwork.

Modern orchestral action → threat and scale. Aggressive low brass + kinetic strings for Screenslaver, with stratified rhythms when hypnosis spreads.

Lounge/TV bumpers → world-building. The end-credit jingles function like ads for heroes; it’s playful meta that fits Deavor’s PR fantasy.

Tracks & Scenes

Representative moments with track anchors (timestamps vary slightly by cut). Diegetic status noted where clear.

“Consider Yourselves Undermined!” — Michael Giacchino
Where it plays: Opening brawl with the Underminer; the family’s illegal heroics spill into the street (non-diegetic).
Why it matters: Reintroduces the franchise language — bold brass, comic woodwinds, and whip-crack percussion.

“Elastigirl Is Back” → “Train of Taut”
Where it plays: Elastigirl’s Elasticycle pursuit across rooftops and inside the elevated train (non-diegetic).
Why it matters: Sleek, meter-tight writing turns problem-solving into choreography; her new motif owns the soundstage.

“A Matter of Perception”
Where it plays: First Screenslaver skirmishes and TV-screen hypnosis beats (non-diegetic).
Why it matters: Tense ostinati + filtered textures signal mind games rather than muscle.

“Ambassador Ambush”
Where it plays: Diplomatic event goes sideways; heroes turned against each other (non-diegetic).
Why it matters: Brass in combat-formation; harmony curdles as the plan reveals itself.

“Rocky vs. Jack-Jack”
Where it plays: Backyard raccoon duel (non-diegetic).
Why it matters: Cartoon-gold pastiche with real bite — a Looney-tuned scherzo that still swings like spy jazz.

“This Ain’t My Super-Suit?”
Where it plays: Domestic chaos montage as Bob juggles baby-powers, math homework, and adolescence (non-diegetic).
Why it matters: Comedy cuts sharpened by rhythmic hits; family theme peeks through between crises.

“Out and a Bout”
Where it plays: Boat climax setup — heroes re-assemble with a plan (non-diegetic/transition).
Why it matters: Tempo ramps; modular figures stack into the finale.

“Incredits 2”
Where it plays: End credits (non-diegetic).
Why it matters: A nine-minute suite that pays off Elastigirl/Mr. Incredible/Frozone themes and the Screenslaver color.

Character Jingles (end credits):
“Here Comes Elastigirl — Elastigirl’s Theme” · “Chill or Be Chilled — Frozone’s Theme” · “Pow! Pow! Pow! — Mr. Incredible’s Theme”
Where they play: Over the credits; snippets are also referenced in-story (non-diegetic, with in-universe nods).
Why they matter: A retro-TV wink that extends the film’s PR-campaign subplot into the album.

Music–Story Links

Elastigirl’s motif is surgical: lighter drumkit, nimble brass, and less weight than Bob’s older, heavier hero theme — a sonic argument for why she takes point. Hypnosis cues thin the harmony and repeat patterns until the “spell” breaks; when family unity returns, the harmony fattens and the ride cymbal comes back. Even the jingles serve plot: Deavor’s world sells superheroes like brands, so the credits sound like ads you’d actually hear in-world.

How It Was Made

Recording ran mid-2017 to May 2018 at the Sony Scoring Stage. The orchestra tracked classic Giacchino brass/woodwind voicings with tight rhythm-section punch; mixing preserved the bright, “recorded like a band” image. The label issued digital first, then CD; some digital editions add DCappella bonus versions of the jingles and a nod to “The Glory Days.”
