#TheMitchellsVsTheMachines watch party begins!
We all wanted Katie to own this movie right up front and this Columbia logo sets the tone for the movie and Katie Mitchell’s aesthetic

Katie drinks “Mountain Rush” soda. In college while making student films, Phil and I would consume a case of Mountain Dew a night. One night we bought caffeinated water (called “Javaqua”) and then made coffee with it. #MvMwatchparty

There is a wooden etched sign above the door in the kitchen that says “NO SCREENS AT THE TABLE” but like at my own household, nobody follows it

Look at how painterly and watercolory this world is! Amazing rendering work by @mlasker and team!

“PRANCER BELONGS TO THE CANYON NOW!” Is the most expensive shot in the movie. Needed a mule rig and water sim etc. It was something the bean counters kept asking “you sure you want to spend this for just one joke?”
Yes.

“Aaron whispered to me that he hates dinosaurs now” feels so much to me like authentic playful sibling teasing. One of my favorite lines from @michaelrianda and @Roweyourboatz #TheMitchellsVsTheMachines #mvmwatchparty

Olivia Colman is an international treasure. We were absolutely agog at her skills in her recording sessions. #TheMitchellsVsTheMachines #MvMwatchparty

I ❤️@michaelrianda & @lindseydraws idea to give Katie The Shining socks. It tickled me the first time I saw it. I tried to get The Shining wallpaper in our bathroom but my wife would only let us do it if it was in a different color so it wasn’t creepy

You may remember from the first “Connected” trailer the original line in the port a potty was “no time to wash your hands” “I never do” and post-Covid it seemed irresponsible so it became “false alarm I was just in there reading” which I think is funnier #mvmwatchparty

Script guru and all-around genius Lindsay Doran pointed out if they stabbed the Mitchells’ car tire in the mall, they’d need to get a new one. So the mall tire store (not the biggest logic stretch in the film) in boards was called DORAN TIRES (& plot hole repair) #mvmwatchparty

The idea Katie had from her “Dope Plan” notebook to find a “kill code” was supposed to be a pastiche of movie clichés like in, um... all of our other movies

DEREGULATE TAPIOCA is a window into the insane and hilarious minds of the @JollyLads - Doug and Todd - editor/writer/mayhem artists who worked with us on The Lego Movie and Lego Batman and Spider-Verse.

Look at these frigging CG trees that look hand-painted! #TheMitchellsVsTheMachines #MvMWatchParty

These credits always make me tear up. Thanks for watching along and thanks to the amazing crew of humans who made this very special film!
