Technology Rises Up Against Humans in Fun Trailer for Netflix's Animated Film THE MITCHELLS VS. THE MACHINES
Netflix has released a new trailer for the upcoming animated adventure comedy The Mitchells Vs. The Machines. The movie comes from Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller, and it looks like it’ll be a great and entertaining movie!
The story centers on a quirky, dysfunctional 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. As they find themselves in the middle of the robot apocalypse, they suddenly become humanity’s unlikeliest last hope.
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!”
The movie was directed by Mike Rianda (Gravity Falls), and the voice cast of the film also includes Beck Bennett, Fred Armisen, Eric Andre, and Oscar winner Olivia Colman.
Sony Pictures Animation’s The Mitchells Vs. The Machines will be released on Netflix on April 30th.
