THE MITCHELLS VS THE MACHINES, the latest animated extravaganza from producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller is yet another triumph of execution, taking a relatively straightforward story and infusing it with the same heart and creative wit that saw them build a hero’s journey from Lego bricks and take Spider-Man to dizzying new heights. When Katie Mitchell is accepted to film school, she sees it…

The latest entry in the Lego feature film franchise is also its most blatantly cynical toy commercial, offering little in return for your forked over ticket money other than a needlessly starry cast, a weak storyline and a massive middle finger to fans of the original cartoon series.
