"Animation is a great way of allowing you to experience the world through the eyes of another, complete with the colour, energy, imagination and chaos that this can bring. It's true whether you're looking at the world from the perspective of a frustrated and talented teenage girl, or from that of a megalomaniacal rogue AI who dreams of blasting every human on Earth into space in tiny hexagonal pods (with free wifi!)."
"The film doesn't bluntly take the stance of the kids are right, and the adults are out of touch, something that can feel as outdated as a dial-up internet connection. There's more balance here; the film encourages you to see things from the perspective of both Katie and her father Rick (voiced by Abbi Jacobson and Danny McBride, respectively), never unconditionally favouring one over the other and allowing both of them to see how they aren't acknowledging the full picture."
Animation enables viewers to experience the world through another's eyes, offering colour, energy, imagination and chaos. The Mitchells vs the Machines combines a frustrated, talented teenage girl's perspective with a megalomaniacal rogue AI plotting to blast humans into space in hexagonal pods. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller bring a free-spirited production style while Mike Rianda and Jeff Rowe temper the zaniness with a nuanced, gentle and heartfelt family story. The film fuses a father-daughter conflict with vivid visual flair and explores relationships with people, technology and past selves without unilaterally siding with kids or adults.
