Netflix’s 'The Mitchells vs the Machines,' produced by Sony Pictures Animation, received an Oscars nomination for Best Animated Feature this morning. Along with 'Flee,' 'Mitchells' is one of only two animated films nominated that aren’t made by Disney
“One of the main things that drew us to the project was Mike,” says Miller. “He showed us an early animation of what the movie might become and, even in its rough form, you could tell that it was really sweet and heartfelt and emotional and funny. And he and his buddy Jeff Rowe, who was the co-writer and co-director, seem like us from 10 years ago, with this level of passion and excitement and wanting to break down the walls of animation and try new things.
“It was obvious from the get go that it was trying to break new ground,” says Lord. “It was pushing the medium visually and telling a story in a way that was really contemporary and taking all kinds of risks. It’s guided by a young film student whose personality is in every frame of the picture, and she’s gay, and her family is not a typical movie family, and yet the movie makes me laugh and cry and it still has all the movie values that make us want to go to the movie theater.
