The Movie

Get ready for a high-octane, laugh-out-loud comedy that is perfect for the whole family! The Mitchells vs. the Machines follows Katie Mitchell, a quirky, misunderstood creative teen who is thrilled to finally head off to her dream film school. Eager to make one last memory before she leaves the nest, her nature-obsessed, technophobic dad cancels her flight and packs the entire family—including her dinosaur-loving brother, optimistic mom, and their hilariously bug-eyed pug, Monchi—into the family station wagon for a cross-country road trip. But their awkward family bonding is suddenly interrupted when a global tech uprising turns every electronic device and household appliance into a rogue robot soldier.

Suddenly, humanity's unlikeliest last hope rests entirely on the shoulders of the world's most dysfunctional family. Boasting a uniquely vibrant animation style, lightning-fast humor, and an army of evil giant Furbys, this modern masterpiece strikes the perfect balance between wild sci-fi action and a deeply moving story about family connection. Given its status as a love letter to young filmmakers, it’s the ideal feature for our West Sound Film Festival collaboration! Grab a sweet treat from the ice cream truck, and get ready to root for the Mitchells!
