A new rumor claims that a hit Netflix<\/strong> animated film with a 97% Rotten Tomatoes score is getting a sequel. The 2021 sci-fi comedy became one of the platform\u2019s most acclaimed originals for its humor, heart, and vibrant animation. While details about the follow-up remain under wraps, reports suggest that development is already underway.<\/p>\n According to a post by reliable scooper MyTimeToShineHello on X<\/a> (formerly Twitter), a sequel to The Mitchells vs. the Machines is reportedly in development. Director Mike Rianda helmed the 2021 animated sci-fi comedy.<\/p>\n It was produced by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller through Columbia Pictures, Sony Pictures Animation, and Lord Miller Productions. The story follows a quirky family who must save humanity from a robot uprising.<\/p>\n The Mitchells vs. the Machines debuted on Netflix on April 30, 2021, after Sony sold its global distribution rights because of the pandemic\u2019s effect on theaters. The movie quickly became one of Netflix\u2019s most-watched animated titles, reaching 53 million households in its first month.<\/p>\n It received wide acclaim for its animation, humor, and LGBTQ+ representation. The film earned nominations at the Oscars, BAFTAs, and Producers Guild Awards, and won several honors at the Annie and Critics Choice Awards.<\/p>\n In a 2021 interview with Fandango<\/a>, director Mike Rianda hinted at the possibility of a sequel, saying, \u201cWe\u2019ve got a lot of good ideas on the board, at least. I\u2019ve been talking to people about it \u2014 some folks who are excited about that idea.\u201d<\/p>\n He also reflected on the creative freedom behind the original film, explaining, \u201cEven though we were working with a big studio, we had a ton of freedom. Basically, we all kind of agreed that the audience would be our boss, instead of our bosses being our boss.\u201d<\/p>\n The film featured the voices of Abbi Jacobson, Danny McBride, Maya Rudolph, Eric Andr\u00e9, Olivia Colman, and director Mike Rianda. Mark Mothersbaugh composed the score. If confirmed, the sequel would bring back one of Netflix\u2019s most acclaimed and award-winning animated hits.<\/p>\n Originally reported by Anubhav Chaudhry on SuperHeroHype<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n The post Acclaimed Netflix Movie Rumored To Get a Sequel<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A new rumor claims that a hit Netflix animated film with a 97% Rotten Tomatoes score is getting a sequel.
