Similar to what happened with KPop Demon Hunters, Netflix will handle the distribution of the The Mitchells vs the Machines sequel through an agreement with Sony. Originally, Sony planned to release the first movie, but Netflix acquired it and released it as one of their original films.
The Mitchells vs. the Machines, directed by and starring Michael Rianda, is an animated adventure about a family road trip that’s interrupted by a robot uprising. Featuring the voices of Danny McBride, Maya Rudolph, and Abbi Jacobson, the film follows the Mitchells and their dog as they try to save the world.
When a robot uprising ruins their family road trip, the Mitchells – a wonderfully quirky bunch – unexpectedly become humanity’s last hope.
Released in 2021, The Mitchells vs. the Machines is a critically acclaimed animated film, earning a 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on over 200 reviews. Critics particularly loved its unique animation and engaging story.
Even without the sharp wit and sarcasm, the story is still a charming and heartwarming tale of a family rediscovering how to bond, according to Rolling Stone.
According to The New York Times, The Mitchells vs. the Machines is hilarious thanks to its quirky characters and non-stop, over-the-top action, all brought to life with incredibly creative and energetic visuals.
According to IndieWire, this CGI film is truly exceptional, boasting a unique and creative beauty. It’s visually polished but still feels authentic, and the skill behind it deserves recognition.
According to Empire Magazine, the movie is a fun and exciting family adventure that also pushes the boundaries of how animated films look.
