“Families can be hard but they are so worth fighting for.”

From the humans that brought you Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse & The Lego Movie, The Mitchells vs. the Machines tells to chaotically fun tale of “a quirky, dysfunctional family’s road trip suddenly upended when they find themselves in the middle of the robot apocalypse and become humanity’s unlikeliest last hope.” – IMDB

Starring the voices of Danny McBride, Abbi Jacobson, Maya Rudolph, Mike Rianda, Eric André, and Olivia Colman, with Fred Armisen, Beck Bennett, John Legend, Chrissy Teigen, Charlyne Yi, Blake Griffin, Conan O’Brien, and Doug the Pug in supporting roles.

“Eye-catching and energetic, The Mitchells vs. the Machines delivers a funny, feel-good story that the whole family can enjoy,” The Mitchells vs the Machines earned a Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Matt Fowler gave the film an 8 out of 10, stating that “The Mitchells vs. The Machines is a ridiculous, riotous, and relevant adventure fill with great humor and winning sentiment. It’s fast-moving and gorgeous to behold, filled with quirks, quips, and a lovably goblin-like pug (“voiced” by IG-famous Doug the Pug). It’s a good time for both younglings and elders, delivering an intelligently goofy rush of new animation and old emotion.” – IGN
