What year is Pixar's adventure Fantastic Four also considered it a superior - albeit unofficial - adaptation of the comics than the actual movies based on Marvel's First Family.

Despite ending with a big sequel tease, it took over a decade for Onward.

The Incredibles franchise takes place in a charmingly retro-futuristic world that resembles the kind of future envisioned in the 1950s and 1960s. Neither movie gives a solid date in dialogue for what year or decade it's set in, though early in the original movie Mr. Incredible is seen looking at a newspaper, and eagle-eyed viewers will notice it says 1962 on it.

Given the fashion and vehicles seen in the world of The Incredibles, the 1960s setting  -with some futuristic bells and whistles added - makes sense. That said, Brad Brad later revealed in a 2018 Bustle interview that " "I probably wouldn’t have put 1962 on the newspaper if I thought it would get out," and that he didn't really want the movie to take place in a specific year. In his mind, the 1962 date seen on the paper was a fun little easter egg and isn't necessarily canon, so viewers would better off disregarding this detail entirely.

So while both of The Incredibles movies technically take place in 1962, that date isn't necessarily set in stone. Brad Bird's next movie hasn't been confirmed yet but it's very unlikely to be The Incredibles 3, and he's currently working on an unnamed live-action/animated hybrid for his next movie.
