The Incredibles
The film opened on November 5, 2004, as Pixar's first film to be rated PG (for "action violence"). Its theatrical release was accompanied with a Pixar short film "Boundin'". The promotional campaign included an official website with video segments, games, and printable memorabilia. While Pixar celebrated another triumph with "The Incredibles", Steve Jobs was embroiled in a public feud with the head of its distribution partner, The Walt Disney Company. This would eventually lead to the ousting of Michael Eisner and Disney's acquisition of Pixar the following year.
