If you enjoyed THE LEGO MOVIE and SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE, you may have been wondering what was next for Phil Lord and Chris Miller. That next movie THE MITCHELLS VS. THE MACHINES, formerly titled CONNECTED, produced by the duo, and directed by Mike Rianda and Jeff Rowe. The story deals with a family being driven more and more apart by technology, and a father who wants to find a way to bring them back together. The voice cast features Danny McBride, Abbi Jacobson, Maya Rudolph, Eric Andre, and Oliva Colman. We’re guessing one of the breakout stars here is their pug named Monchi, who looks hilarious in the trailer. Check out the new trailer sporting the new title and new release date (on Netflix) and tell us your thoughts in the comments.
From the humans who brought you the Academy Award-winning Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse and The LEGO Movie comes The Mitchells vs. The Machines, an animated action-comedy about an ordinary family who find themselves in the middle of their biggest family challenge yet…saving the world from the robot apocalypse. No big deal, right? It all starts when creative outsider Katie Mitchell is accepted into the film school of her dreams and is eager to leave home and find “her people,” when her nature-loving dad insists on having the whole family drive her to school and bond during one last totally-not-awkward-or-forced road trip. But just when the trip can’t get any worse, the family suddenly finds itself in the middle of the robot uprising! Everything from smart phones, to roombas, to evil Furbys are employed to capture every human on the planet. Now it’s up to the Mitchells, including upbeat mom Linda, quirky little brother Aaron, their squishy pug, Monchi, and two friendly, but simple-minded robots to save humanity.
