A Family Is Forced To Survive a Technology Uprising in Fun First Trailer For CONNECTED From Phil Lord and Chris Miller
The producing team behind Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse, Phil Lord and Chris Miller, are back with a new animated feature film adventure! Their new movie is titled Connected, and it follows a family who is forced to survive a technology uprising that breaks out while they on a road trip to take their daughter to college.
The movie looks like a ton of fun, and the family dynamic is something that I can totally relate to as I’ve watched my own kids start spending more and more time on their technology devices over the years. The story looks great and this is a movie I’m looking forward to checking out. Lord and Miller always tend to deliver the goods!
The film is about “an everyday family's struggle to relate while technology rises up around the world! When Katie Mitchell (voiced by Abbi Jacobson), a creative outsider, is accepted into the film school of her dreams, her plans to meet “her people” at college are upended when her nature-loving dad Rick (voiced by Danny McBride) determines the whole family should drive Katie to school together and bond as a family one last time. Katie and Rick are joined by the rest of the family, including Katie’s wildly positive mom Linda (voiced by Maya Rudolph), her quirky little brother Aaron (voiced by Mike Rianda), and the family’s delightfully chubby pug Monchi for the ultimate family road trip. Suddenly, the Mitchells’ plans are interrupted by a tech uprising: all around the world, the electronic devices people love – from phones, to appliances, to an innovative new line of personal robots – decide it’s time to take over. With the help of two friendly malfunctioning robots, the Mitchells will have to get past their problems and work together to save each other and the world!”
Sony Pictures Animation’s Connected is an original animated comedy that was directed by Mike Rianda (Gravity Falls), and it will be released in theaters September 18th!
