the mitchells vs the machines

Animation so often suggests a movie for “the children,” but two entries require a bit of consideration. Both Encanto and The Mitchells vs. the Machine follow the pattern established by “Sesame Street,” that is, something for almost everyone. Each film appeals to children, although not wee ones, as well as to grown-ups. They are both loud and colorful. They both have messages about family, and they both have music.
