The official behind-the-scenes art book for Sony Pictures Animation's
feature film The Mitchells vs. The Machines
The Art of The Mitchells vs. The Machines gives insight into how the
filmmakers behind Sony Pictures Animation's new movie The Mitchells vs.
The Machines were able to bring a fresh, new vision to the screen
through concept art, sketches, and early character designs. The book
also features exclusive commentary from director/cowriter Michael Rianda
and codirector/cowriter Jeff Rowe, alumni of the team behind Emmy
Award-winning Gravity Falls, and producers Phil Lord and Christopher
Miller, the innovative and creative minds behind The LEGO Movie and
the Academy Award-winning Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
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.
Directed by Michael Rianda (Gravity Falls), produced by Oscar winners
Phil Lord and Chris Miller, and Kurt Albrecht, and featuring the voices
of Abbi Jacobson, Danny McBride, Maya Rudolph, Beck Bennett, Fred
Armisen, Eric Andre, and Oscar winner Olivia Colman, The Mitchells vs.
The Machines is about embracing the things that make us unique,
learning what it means to be human in a world increasingly filled with
technology, and holding tight to the people most important to you when
the unexpected hits.
