The Incredibles had such a well-done world that I actually started speculating about that world's alternate history and what year it was.
(The answer I came up with: it was actually the early 1970s, but it looked like the mid-Sixties because there had been no Vietnam War and the late-Sixties counterculture never happened. The development of certain technologies had been accelerated by a decade or more, possibly because of the existence of Supers. The alternate Nixon was named "Rick Dicker", was a spooky fixer guy rather than a politician, and was a much happier man.)
