It took TheMitchellsVsTheMachines 7 tries to convince Hasbro to allow Furby in the movie. 'That was how we originally wrote it, we were laughing ... then the producer was like 'This is never going to be in the movie! What are you doing''
The Mitchells vs The Machines co-writer asked Hasbro seven different times whether they could use Furbys in their movie. The Netflix and Sony collaboration released in November 2021 and has since been receiving awards and nominations, including an Annie Award for Best Animated Feature Film. The movie follows young Katie Mitchell as she is about to attend film school. After a few plans change, Katie is forced on a road trip to her new school with her parents, younger brother, and pug.
Director and co-writer Michael Rianda became well known for his previous work on the adventure animation series, Gravity Falls. The Mitchell family is loosely based on Rianda's own family and technology-averse father. One of the best twists in the movie is the family pug's resistance to all facial and body recognition by the robot uprising, giving his bread-loaf body the God-like powers of anonymity that breaks the software of every robot he meets.In an interview with Joe.
"That was how we originally wrote it, we were laughing and saying 'This is going to be amazing!' And then the producer was like 'This is never going to be in the movie! What are you doing??' And I was like 'Nah, we'll get it to work!' And then, eventually, it was kind of like this wasn't actually gonna work. We couldn't get a hold of Hasbro, so then we had to change it.
Producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller also worked on The Mitchells vs the Machines. The Lord and Miller duo is now in the realm of animation royalty after their groundbreaking work on Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, which raised the bar more than a couple notches on creative animation techniques and world-class storytelling.
With an Academy Award nomination for Best Animated Feature, The Mitchells vs. The Machines is poised to become a classic in the animation world. The final reveal of a Furby being behind the robot uprising is certainly unexpected, and it's likely this twist is part of what's made the film such a standout. Furby was a landmark product for robotics in toy design, and including it in The Mitchells vs. The Machines is a stroke of genius the team behind the film recognized from the get-go.
