Everything Wrong With The Mitchells vs. the Machines

The Mitchells vs The Machines is a really fun family animated adventure. That doesn't mean it has no sins though.

Next week: Disaster sins and... I guess fantasy/adventure sins?

Remember, no movie is without sin. Which movie's sins should we count next?

Ok, the family's baby being represented by the dog honestly made me laugh.

[tuopi]

18:16 funniest part is: the baby is literally the creator of the movie

[unitds-delta]

"Why does the giant smart Furby have a laser gun in it's mouth?" Clearly you've never had a furby before

[CAPTTIGHT]

I love how he has to create mostly bogus sins for the movie to keep the sins part alive but he secretly loves this movie

[lstmarble]

Love how this anti-corporation film who jokes about how terrible tech companies are was made by a massive tech company

[marchmallow]

15:10 Pal actually tells mark much earlier in the film that she'd sit him next to the Mitchells to rub it in that they couldn't save humanity, when he had faith in them

[justheretoexist]

You can tell how much he likes this movie with how random the sins arw

[JessieTrinket]

I love how many of the "sins" for this movie basically ammount to "This movie is too good!"

[JaceIsJumbo]

I really like Encanto, but the fact that this movie didn't win Best Animated Picture is a shame. It was so funny and visually creative.

This is one of those movies that sneak up on you.
I only found out about this from a meme my brother showed me and then found it on Netflix and thought "okay, I might as well check out with dumb family movie because I have an evening to kill".
Now it’s one of my favorite animated movies OF ALL TIME!

The trope of "parent disapproves of kid's lifestyle choices" is common as hell, sure, but the use of it in this movie is more grounded so it feels relatable rather than overused. It's not like Rick disapproves of her being a film student, because she's still going to that college and he at least attempts to see the value in her art. He accepts her decisions, but he doesn't trust them, which is what she actually needs rather than just blind support.

For the ghost fountain sin, it technically could just be a broken fountain. I have a fountain at my school that once it’s touched it runs forever unless you try to mess with it.

"What kind of donut shop sells lottery tickets? AT A SCHOOL CROSSING?!"

Welcome to the future of America.

[ARCtheCartoonMaster]

16:25 I think it's implied that this guy grew up in the country, where the Internet has never been as good. I should know - I grew up on a farm on the outskirts of Adelaide, and we still had dialup all through 2008.

[RiP_essiebee]

I really loved the animation and art for this movie, and I hadn’t had many plans to watch it until some friends of mine started raving about it. It’s sort of reminiscent of Into The Spider Verse, which if this is the way animation is heading in the future, I’m so excited! Wish it would have won the Oscar, if not for the 2D/3D details, for lighting and model design as well.

[alysskuriyama]

I'm surprised they didn't mention that at 6:40 Katie was facing away from the window, but when the slow-mo happens, somehow she's blown onto (and flies through the air on) her back as if she had been facing the window. Also, I am so glad someone acknowledged how shitty the dad forcing Katie to skip her literal college orientation was.

[TheJosh]

I love how many of these sins are really really thin... "that stop sign is too tall"... shows how good this movie is.

[ianesgrecia]

I said and will aways repeat: You judge how good a movie is by how many sins are removed.
Love this video

[chimera]

Absolutely love it XD

Although I will say the dad and the pal labs creator sitting next to each other in the "ship" thing is completely believable because pal said she would put them next to each other.

[Arknjoyer]

This movie actually deserves a reward, this is gonna be nostalgic later
