Rather than fly there, her dad plans a surprise road trip with the rest of the family to give his daughter a proper goodbye. The trip doesn't quite go as planned, and to make things worse, robots have started a war to take over Earth.

1.5*/5.0*

US animation has finally evolved beyond the Pixar look, but that doesn't mean that the films themselves have automatically evolved with it. The Mitchells vs the Machines may sport a slightly more interesting art style, but the obnoxiousness and the horrid comedy are still very much present.

High-strung, loud, and annoying characters, each and every single one of them. That's what killed this film for me. The art style is a step up from similar films, but it's not much of a comfort when your ears are ringing from listening to the horrid voice actors shouting every line. Not good.
