Phil Lord and Chris Miller's Animated Film THE MITCHELLS VS. THE MACHINES Will Debut on Netflix This Year
Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller have developed a new animated feature film titled The Mitchells Vs. The Machines. We’ve already seen a trailer for the wild family adventure film, it was previously titled Connected.
The movie was originally supposed to be released in theaters in September of last year but due to the pandemic, it was removed from Sony Pictures’ release schedule. Well, the film has now been picked up by Netflix and they will debut the film later this year.
The story for The Mitchells Vs. The Machines follows a family who is forced to survive a technology uprising that breaks out while they’re on a road trip to take their daughter to college. This looks like it’s going to be an incredibly fun movie, and I’m looking forward to watching it.
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 The Mitchells Vs. The Machines is an original animated comedy that was directed by Mike Rianda (Gravity Falls). I’ve included the previously released trailer for you to watch below.
