Surprisingly, you can find a great deal of transcendentalist ideas in the Pixar movie,
The Incredibles. All the characters that held a super power had a unique ability that no one else in the Incredible family had. There is no such thing as sameness in this film. The family members all had a self-realization that only they hold a certain power and they used these abilities to help others. At the beginning of the movie the husband and wife fought villains, but when they had a family they tried to conform to a normal lifestyle. They tried to contain their powers and not let the kids express themselves. This displayed everything a transcendentalist would hate and despise. Soon enough they found themselves in a situation where they had to use their powers to bring down a villain who wanted nothing but conformity he said, "when everyone's super... no one will be". The heroes all had super powers that differentiated them and were able to defeat enemies. By the end of the movie, all the kids found their confidence and used it in the battle. Everyone in the family found their own wisdom and virtue to use against the villain. They had awareness of the situation and each of their roles. Almost all the characters except the villain exemplified the beliefs of Emerson.
