Netflix has announced the full voice cast for The Mitchells vs. the Machines, an original animated sci-fi family film from Oscar-winning producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller–the pair behind Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. On Twitter, the streaming service recently shared that Fred Armisen, Beck Bennett, Chrissy Teigen, John Legend, Charlyne Yi, and Conan O’Brien join the previously announced voice cast for the film, which is due out April 30.
Sasheer Zamata, Elle Mills, Jay Pharoah, Alex Hirsch, and Griffin McElroy were also announced as rounding out the animated comedy’s marquee. It’s unclear what roles all these actors will be portraying, but what is known so far is that the film is “about an everyday family’s struggle to relate while technology rises up around the world. When Katie Mitchell (voiced by Abbi Jacobson), a creative outsider, is accepted into the film school of her dreams, her plans to meet “her people” at college are upended when her nature-loving dad Rick (voiced by Danny McBride) determines the whole family should drive Katie to school together and bond as a family one last time.”
Directed by Mike Rianda (Gravity Falls), the film is intended to be autobiographical. In a release accompanying the movie’s Netflix acquisition back in January, Rianda said, “This is a very personal movie about my very weird family. I’m so grateful to all the incredible artists that poured their love and passion into this project to make it a reality, and to everyone at Sony who believed in us and were on board to make a different kind of animated movie.”
