* SpiritualSuccessor: Can be seen as a modern-day Music/JohnWilliams, sharing this with fellow composer Joel [=McNeely=] (who is now considered to be the PoorMansSubstitute for blockbuster composer Giacchino himself in recent years), whom Giacchino can also be seen as a next-gen successor to along with the late Frank [=DeVol=] due to also their most occasional collaborations with Creator/{{Disney}} sided with their other film and television works outside of the family-friendly company. He can also be seen as the modern day Stu Phillips in the television business due to scoring episodic music for shows whose theme songs were composed by the show's creators ([[Franchise/BattlestarGalactica Glen A.]] [[Series/KnightRider Larson]] for Phillips and Creator/JJAbrams for Giacchino).

Inversely he's part of the JJ Abrams and Pixar posses (especially Creator/BradBird) and used to be part of [[Creator/ElectronicArts EA's.]] Amongst his regular musicians is legendary session bassist Abraham Laboriel Sr.

* BreakthroughHit: It was thanks to his work on the score for ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'' that launched his career into what it is today.

* PungeonMaster: At least half of his song titles will feature terrible puns. A rare aversion is ''Film/RogueOne'', whose titles are sober descriptions just like in the scores by Music/JohnWilliams. (Although Giacchino and his team ''did'' do some for fun, [[http://i.imgur.com/okvYFcC.jpg which appear in the liner notes]] with a LampshadeHanging - [[ExecutiveMeddling it may have been at the behest of Lucasfilm]]).
