However, to the film's credit, the characters themselves range from charmingly hysterical to surprisingly relatable. As for the Mitchells story arc, like I mentioned before, it is admittedly a fairly standard plot about a parent and offspring needing to overcome their differences to connect again. Sometimes, all it takes is just one person to deem an AI obsolete for the whole world to fall under chaos that is just how much the reliance on technology has grown in humanity, both for better and worse.

While it is wonderful just how much the world has advanced in adapting to technological innovation, including animated features, one must be careful to not take it for granted.

However, the otherwise routine storyline of a family overcoming their differences is ultimately saved and even elevated by this other arc, because the movie's biggest theme lies in how overly dependent people have become to technology nowadays. Now based on that bizarre premise, it would seem like we have a case of two different movies clashing together. While attempting to rekindle their relationship on Katie's trip to college, the whole family winds up having to save Earth from a robot uprising while on a road trip. Now that the world is finally ready to see the Mitchells unleashed, just how much was the wait worth it in the end? The film follows the Mitchells, a dysfunctional family with an aspiring filmmaker daughter named Katie and a down to earth father named Rick that fail to see eye to eye from when they were younger. Co-written and directed by former Gravity Falls writer Mike Rianda, the film was initially set to come out in September of 2020, but due to COVID restrictions, it was eventually delayed until the end of April and released on Netflix. Sony Pictures Animation has been growing further and further in their filmography by experimenting with fresh computer technology and innovative stories, and none could be better proof than their most recent feature, The Mitchells vs.
