The Mitchells vs. the Machines is a 2021 animated science fiction comedy film directed by Mike Rianda, who co-wrote the screenplay with co-director Jeff Rowe. Produced by Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures Animation in association with Lord Miller Productions and One Cool Films, the film stars the voices of Danny McBride, Abbi Jacobson, Maya Rudolph, Rianda, Eric André, and Olivia Colman, with Fred Armisen, Beck Bennett, John Legend, Chrissy Teigen, Lo Mutuc, Blake Griffin, Conan O'Brien, and Doug the Pug in supporting roles. The story follows the dysfunctional Mitchell family, who must save Earth from a global uprising of robots.
Rianda conceived the film after completing work on the animated series Gravity Falls in 2015. The project was announced in May 2018. To achieve a "hand-painted watercolor" style, technology was reused from the previous Sony Pictures Animation film, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018). Lord and Miller's frequent collaborator Mark Mothersbaugh composed the score.
