Putting the "fun" in "dysfunction" is what The Mitchells vs. The Machines is about, and what family doesn't have some issues?

In its celebration of these characters... this film demonstrates how indispensable every single one of us is, and how much those living with disabilities have to offer the world, if only people took the time to notice.

Epoch Times

What the “Machine” filmmakers did here is to point this out in a humorous and lighthearted manner why AI is the last thing humanity needs at the moment. To be sure, it is a cautionary tale and does so without any furrow-browed, tsk-tsk, finger-wagging.

Rated: 4/5

The Mitchells vs. The Machines puts a new spin on the dysfunctional family trope by setting it in the midst of a smartphone apocalypse.

Rianda and Rowe deliver their smart script with animation that ranges from traditional to chaotic. Even when the presentation jumps around, the film never loses focus.

Rated: 3.5/4

Full of lovable characters (aside from a certain two, I’ll leave you to guess), some great humour and excellent character development. I’m blown away at how it juggled “family bonding road trip” and “end of humanity”.

Melchizedek Franz Noval S

I've rewatched some of the best animated film of 2021 - The Mitchells vs. The Machines. But in essence, it's a delightful and entertaining film that offers a blend of humour, heart and visual spectacle, praising the animation style which is masterfully combines traditional 3D computer with 2D hand-drawn elements, boasting a visually dynamic and innovative creates a unique and energetic aesthetic. At its core, the story is about a dynamic family that is quirky and dysfunctional, bridging generational gaps and finding common ground.
