The Mitchell's Vs The Machines is a 2021 family animated film from Sony Animations. They made Spider-Man Into The Spiderverse back in 2018 which won best animated picture. They then partnered with the same people who made The Lego Movie to make this picture. It was supposed to come out a while ago as did most and it was supposed to be named Connected. That is just an interesting bit of information.
The Mitchell's Vs The Machines is about a family who is growing farther apart by the improvements of technology. In fact, they families oldest child, Katie (Abbi Johnson) is heading off to college. The family decided to go on one last family road trip. At the same time, the leading tech company is releasing a robot that does everything for you. The machines then override the programing and begin to take humans captive. The Mitchell's then become the only family left and they must work together to save the world.
This film was somewhat of a pleasant surprise. I didn't think it was going to be all that good. I was happy to find out it was just a blast. It was actually funny! That is hard to find while watching a family movie now. Most movies seem to think bodily functions will always make you laugh no matter what. It is incredibly annoying. This film did have some of that towards the start but for the most part it sort of poked fun at some family experiences. Sort of like what The Great Outdoors did but for families with younger kids to watch. There were a bunch of scenes that got some good laughs out of me, not chuckles! The story was also fairly creative. It did in the end come to where you thought it would go but the way it started was pretty different.
The voice acting was nothing out of the ordinary everybody did a pretty good job. They had some SNL guys like Beck Bennet and Fred Armison voicing some robots. Also Olivia Coleman from The Crown also had a voice acting credit. The dog in the movie was voiced by Dug The Pug. I didn't even know they gave dogs voice acting credits. It was a pretty big cast of voice actors so it would have been pretty hard for the voice acting to be anything below good.
The animation style was a little different from your typical computer generated animation. They blended in some real images along with some classic animation. Some times the classic animation would make the film look a little weird just because of the stuff they did with it but for the most part it was pretty cool.
The Mitchell's Vs The Machines was a fun family film with plenty of good laughs and a somewhat new story. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to sit down and watch a funny film.
