Everything GREAT About The Mitchells vs the Machines!

@Sumit Yadav shh it’s just nice being seen in culture!

Bingo! I’m the same 😊 phone always no further than arms length away. Katie and Aaron are just brilliantly done

YES

100%

Yeah

it could be because she uses art and film as a coping technique or way to express her feelings or to escape, so when she experiences very strong emotions- especially negative ones- she has those little doodles

She also has a gay pride pin on her hoodie. I thought it was a really nice, subtle touch

@Chrissie do you mean 17:37 ??

@Ivelac Yeah but OP was pointing out that instead of the traditional ROYGBIV colors her rainbows are the outfit colors of the Mitchell family: Red (Katie), Yellow (Rick), Lavender (Linda), Purple (Linda), and Blue (Aaron). Pause at 11:28 for the best example.

Fun fact katie draws rainbows because shes gay

@Joshua Crawford Yes, that's always the excuse they give.

Honestly I love Rick, he reminds me so much of my dad. I’m an aspiring animator (specifically digital art) and my dad is a guy who’s a bartender and more traditional. (I mean, the man literally wanted to be an accountant in his young days) he doesn’t understand anything about digital art or even art in general, but he supports me even though at first he didn’t know that animation is an actual career path lol. Plus I really identify with Katie, so it just makes it all the more important to me.

You nailed it. It's not that Rick was trying to be controlling or didn't believe in Katie. He just didn't want her to get hurt. There's nothing more terrifying to a parent than the possibility of their kids getting hurt. He wasn't a bad guy or even a bad dad. He was just scared. He knew better than anyone that you can do everything right but sometimes your dreams just don't work out. My parents and I have had almost the exact same fights. But as I got older and realized this I've been able to talk to them about it and it's done so much for our relationship. It's such a nuanced and realistic depiction of what it's like to be a parent. This movie is amazing.

One of the best things about this movie is Rick honestly. Easily one of the best animated dad’s.

I like Rick for at least trying to make an effort to connect with Katie. Throughout the film you can see how hard he tries. He loves his daughter but doesn’t know how to say it.

Absolutely brilliant

50% perfect accuracy to the real world, 50% bats~~~ crazy. I loved it

I love those cute angels

@PurpleUxie O h m y g o o d n e s s

Eric and Deborahbot Stan's UNITE!

@PurpleUxie I only realised that the second time I watched TMVTM and it's so cute

I love how their names are: "Eric " (huh, sounds familier) and "Deborahbot 5000"

The whole family is, the parents included.

I’m autistic and I got very happy seeing Aaron being upset at the wrong labels for the dinosaurs. I get the same thing with my own special interests lol. (Ex. I watch a video explaining the lore to my interest, but it gets something wrong, and I’m irritated at it)

This is your alert to go call your sister after 1 month.

They are. I immediately recognised myself in them. Love this film so so much

​@Joeseph Kerr bruh u cant kill a Furby, by "destroying" it you just made it even stronger

I had a furby - it never malfunctioned but my brother was trying to get my furbys eyes to open causing the eyes to malfunction and they would never open again .

why is everyone an asshole to furbies, their just robots the malfunction sometimes BIG DEAL

Agreed

When I say literally all but probably 3 of my many furbees I got throughout my childhood would still go off in the middle of the night despite having dead batteries or no batteries at all, I’m not joking. Those things were otherworldly I swear, and that was all the way back in 2000!

We need a second film ;-;

We need a pt 2 - everyone has another detail they found, and it’s awesome

I’m autistic and I saw it that way too, I really identify with Katie since she reminds me so much of myself.

Same. Very accurate representations all around. Aaron's hyper focus on stuff he loves and excitingly reaching out for people to talk about it hit really close to home growing up with ADHD and Aspbergers.

@Anja Fröhlich Katie had come to take her family, Linda, Aaron and Monchi at least, for granted, as at the start she says she’s ready to go to university to meet her people but at the end assures her family they are her people. Rick and Katie needed perspective.

@Jay Barry Golden middle way fallacy Sometimes one side is ckearly in the wrong.

Or, putting all the emotional responsibility on the parent and making the son/daughter entirely in the right. Both sides learn a key thing about how the other sees them very apt thematically by doing it through a video medium the other is more comfortable with. Katie watches the raw, unedited video camera footage of Rick and Rick proper watches one of Katie’s videos for the first time letting them meet closer to the middle without sacrificing who they each are.

Me

I wonder if I’ll feel like that when going to uni… I plan to go across an OCEAN… so… I wish I could imagine missing more than my sister.

😂 ‘Let The Dark Harvest Begin’ is mine

Every single time I laugh at those scenes. Dog, pig, dog, pig, dog, pig, loaf of bread, system error! 😂😂

Dog? Pig? Dog?pig?do-pi-loaf of bread

It’s his spiritual pressure

Dog shield

Monchi broke their scanners, not their eyes.

Sorry the "do dinosaurs kiss" got me💀

Yep, sounds about right

“ate soda and pop rocks am i gonna die” ABSHJAHSJAHSBHAHAHSHA

"pronounces mario marry-o"

The last one is such a kid male thing to do. Once, a friend ate NINE toxic waste candies at once when it SPECIFICALLY SAYS not to eat more than two at once. He said that it was pure pain and the video he showed me showed that he was practically puking after.

@Claude agreed lol

@ ꗃ ⋆ ࣪ . Pokiee-ig 🍳 . ‹ Exactly. They let you know without making a production out of it. It's simply accepted as part of her background. It was very beautifully done.

@Claude that’s true but at the end of the movie she is definitely one of them cause the how Katie’s mom said “are you and jade official yet?” And “when Is she coming for thanksgiving??!” But it’s so subtle that it’s not the main focus

One of my favorite things was that they never actually said Kate was lesbian or bisexual. It was just accepted as a background detail. She just happens to be dating a girl in college, that's all.

@the guy that likes cars amogus

His name is actually debrah...bot...5000

Wait I'm a bot?

:D

I want to be her friend so bad it hurts omg

Same

yes same

Lol I saw that

I’m 10 years short of retirement. I love this film so much. Relatable and funny.

@UndertaleFan 1234 same but I’m 3 years younger than you.

@UndertaleFan 1234 Same

What I don't get is why it's a boomer stereotype, though. Like... that's a huge fricking leap, when you consider that there are two generations in between: Gen X, and millennials. We didn't have smartphones either; we had gaming consoles and computers with CD-ROMs. So if anything, shouldn't millennials be the ones associated with complaining about kids on their phones?

@UndertaleFan 1234 I’m 17 and I saw it a few days ago. The film was a Awesome. The final act was a bit of a letdown after how awesome the earlier acts were but I didn’t mind. I absolutely LOVE how the film isn’t afraid to get dark and explore some pretty deep concepts like unstable marriage, extreme depression, lack of self belief and such. Each character is extremely well written and has unique quirks and flaws of their own. The young boy obviously is depicted as somebody with extreme anxiety and lack of social skills. The older girl obviously struggles to accept the present and looks to the future as a coping mechanism, she also used technology to cope. The mom is obviously a pushover and wants to be better than others. And the father is the most flawed of the bunch. The father likely has extreme depression and lack of faith in their own capabilities. The father is obviously disappointed in himself with his inability to bond with his family, and looks to the past as a coping mechanism. This also helps push the idea that the daughter and father are complete opposites. The father Also was not afraid to die, or perhaps was willing to accept it. As seen in the mall scene, his trap for the giant furby fails and he is left dangling on a rope mere seconds away from annihilation. Most fathers would take the risk and let go do the rope, but father in the film clearly does not care what happens next, as he has already deemed himself a failure. This is demonstrated by him looking away from the furby and sighing with an expression of disappointment and immense regret.

She’s literally anything but a stereotypical American teen :D

@J'sDesireForAKittycatPersists and you know what is funny Linda made robots feel fear

@J'sDesireForAKittycatPersists lol ikr, so much fear in his voice, superbly delivered, subtle yet elevates the experience of a war goddess out for the blood of robot kind.

'BROTHERS, RUN' killed me

13:50 they also got a lifetime ban from best buy

RIGHT!!??

Agreed! This and spiderverse are my #1 and #2 favourite movies, respectively. This is just so bonkers, how could I _not_ love it?

Into The Spiderverse and The Mitchells vs The Machines are the pinnacle of Sony's movie making

@Joshua Joe i really like goosebumps 1, the second I watched like 10 minutes got bored and left

@Hentriacontanonaene it was the only decent one. The rest of their filmography is just garbage. At least SPA had one Emoji Movie…as opposed to TEN.

THANK YOU!!!

@yeri king 😆 yes

vwry lame of them to complain about the dated memes,, tHEY WERE GOLD

I am young (less than eighteen) and the memes she used are the ones that faded, and got dated, though escaped the trap of becoming hated. They just become a bit nostalgic. My before and after school care I used to go to had a copy of a dancing game (from 2012 or 2012) and the most popular song to dance to there was “live your life” (and another one by Bruno Mars that I forget the name to - I only know the artist because of the album cover)

I'm pretty sure most people use old memes on a daily basis lol

But I remember the pencil topper being there before they met Abbey Posey

@Franco Bonfante here’s that attention you ordered: 📦📦📦

And that's a sin for failing to spell correctly = )

Amen

It had better, or Linda isn't gonna be the only one committing genocide.

@Fares oh

@Jack Thorton YES mitchens vs machines is only good movie this year

@PIGLIN 469 Don't encourage him, he is clearly off-topic and trying to derail this comment section into politics, let us stick to the theme of the other comments. We don't need to drag that can of worms into the mix

@Aztaps II So what this is not about politics even tho your right

@PIGLIN 469 You know what Piglin, I think you got a point

Me and my sister get along really well, so it is important to me.

It Reminds Me Of The Strong Bond Judy And Peter Sheppard Had In "Jumanji"

I think it especially does an amazing job of showing a sibling relationship with the context of a big age gap. My little sibs are 11 to 18 years younger than me, and there have never been rivalries or even a whole bunch of conflict, for the most part (aside from literal screaming children making me go into sensory overload, but alas, I even encounter that in the grocery store, with it without siblings present). There’s enough of an age gap where you’re mostly just comfortable in each other’s existences, and (from the perspective of the oldest) you’re there to give advice and support them, especially in areas that you felt were desperately needed when you were growing up. Like, I’m always giving them advice to promote them dancing to their own beat and expressing their emotions in a healthy manner because I was taught otherwise growing up, and it frankly sucked. Likewise, even at 26 I’ll still learn some life lessons from my 8 year old brother from time to time.

Cuz Sibling rivalry is common

Yeah. It’s nice. Wish I had 5at

100% 😊

That scene was great. The furby cult was one of the best scenes in the movie.

I wholeheartedly agree with you that scene perfectly captures the true nature of Furbies. They pretend to be child friendly, but I know form experience what they really are: Demon Toys Manufactured in Hell!

As the great lord once said “to the darkness I shall return”

I love how so much of the characters are revealed through background gags. It's both fun to find, and if you really think about it, also works as commentary on how tech companies use our data.

@ImperialWarrior6490 Same major here. I absolutely found my people, and they helped me so much throughout college. They made the transition so much easier for me... and they'll be my lifelong friends. I'm hoping I'll get to work with them again once we eventually leave the state of "I'm taking any job in industry that I can get".

@DEI Warm up don’t get hypothermia

@DEI Where is it?

@Gerard C yes and I am currently dying of cold while they get some dinner, my god I forgot this place was an icebox!

Did ya visit them yet

Keith Pillsbury just trying to ruin the moment for autistic. That’s sad

And Katie too, with cinema

Yeah it’s great, honestly the whole family seems neurodivergent another thing that’s great is the lgbtq+ representation. I noticed the pride pin immediately and kinda got the vibe about jade (which was confirmed) And the best part is they don’t say it out loud and they don’t make it too subtle. It’s almost if lgbtq+ people like me are human beings and not marketing tactics! Who knew!

I know, finally a film that doesn't have "siblings? Hmmm, make them hate eachother". Reminds me so much of my relationship with my sister

@Therin A Why y'all gotta comment stuff like this under a wholesome video... People want representation for issues alot of people have. Let them be.

I have unilateral hearing loss, so I ALWAYS insist on captions. I never have loved that I had to do that. Never, that is, until this movie. There are so many little hidden gags you would miss if you watched it without them on!

@Kousand YEP

@Irken Pony Feels like a Lovecraft thing since these Furbies sounded like they were summoning an Eldritch God with mega-Furby.

@Cryptic Cryptid for some reason while I can see the alignment in terms of the title being the same.. I don't really think it is a ref to Zim? I dunno what else it could be but I feel like "Dark Harvest" could fit any sorta horror element.

@Kousand ye, it's invader Zim, it's what he does

What I don't get, though, is why everyone complains about "screen time". Like... computers have screens too, and do TV, yet nobody's complaining about those; it's just smartphones and tablets.
