Film Information
From Oscar-winning producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse) and first-time director Mike Rianda (Gravity Falls), The Mitchells vs. the Machines offers a handmade, watercolor aesthetic that perfectly matches the wild road trip about a family fighting the robot apocalypse, while also contrasting them with the sleek perfection of the AI-created robot world.
Young Katie Mitchell embarks on a road trip with her proud parents, younger brother and beloved dog to start her first year at film school. But their plans to bond as a family soon get interrupted when the world's electronic devices come to life to stage an uprising. The Mitchells must now come together to save one another, and the planet, from the new technological revolution.
Reviews
"Jeff Rowe and Michael Rianda’s animated movie exudes that same youthful excitement and optimism, even as it comments on how technology has damaged our personal connections." — Crooked Marque
