Does The Incredibles have a post-credit scene?

Q: Is there a post-credit scene in The Incredibles?

No — The Incredibles has no post-credit scene. No. The Underminer's arrival is the film's last scene before the credits, not after them. There is no extra scene once 'The Incredits' finish — though the credit sequence itself is a designed short worth watching, and the Underminer recurs as an animated element inside it.

What plays over the credits instead

The Incredibles has no post-credits scene. The moment people remember — the ground splitting open and the Underminer announcing war on peace and happiness — is the film's final pre-credits beat. Once the credits begin there is no further story scene waiting at the end of them.

The confusion is understandable, because that ending behaves exactly like a stinger. It arrives after the emotional resolution, it introduces a brand-new villain, it promises a sequel, and then it cuts to black mid-threat. Structurally it is a post-credits scene that happens to sit two minutes early. It also went unresolved for fourteen years: Incredibles 2 (2018) opens by picking up the Underminer fight at the precise instant the first film abandoned it, making the two movies continuous across a decade-and-a-half gap.

What you do get in the credits is worth staying for on its own terms. 'The Incredits', designed by Teddy Newton, is a stylised sequence in the flat geometric idiom of Saul Bass, and it keeps doing world-building after the story is over: silhouetted supers strike poses through the roll, including several who never appear in the film. The Underminer's drill also resurfaces as a motif within the sequence. It is a designed short film rather than a list of names, and it is one of the best end-credit sequences Pixar has made.

So: nothing after the last card. If you are watching for the sequel hook, it has already happened before the credits start.
