He did say it had a timeless feel to it, plus fans adored the designs of the characters we see today.

Keeping the sequel within 1 time peroid is the way to go (but moving it to a new decade could be saved for a possible 3rd film (even though that'll probably take at least 10 years to make now that Pixar has decided to go back onto the idea of making originals), he wants the sequel to do what Toy Story 2 did to the original Toy Story film, take the Family of Supers to new locations without selling out the characters.

And selling out the characters means shoe-horning the kids into lead roles as adults (especially Jack-Jack), Bird's going to stick with what made the 1st film great (as long as Syndrome stays out of the sequel), plus you can't have the Incredibles without Bob and Helen in the film and one of them will be the lead character again.
