The Mitchells vs the Machines


Netflix purchased this new animated film from Sony and producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who are most known for their work on The Lego Movie and 21 Jump Street, as well as being part of the team behind Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. It's also as delightful and amusing as those films. 

Katie Mitchell (Abbi Jacobson) is an aspiring filmmaker preparing to start college – until her father cancels her plane ticket and insists on a family road trip, realizing that they've been drifting apart. Halfway through this perilous voyage, an AI exacts vengeance on its rich founder, and the planet is now threatened by intelligent robots.

Many of the visual elements from Spider-Verse make their way into this film, including 2D comments and doodles on top of the already stunning 3D graphics. Most importantly, it's great to see Netflix support a family film that isn't just full of talking dogs and other clichéd drivel that is so common in computer-generated animation for kids.
