Nominated for Best Animated Feature 
Katie Mitchell (Abbi Jacobson) can't wait to get to college and leave her family behind. To finally find real acceptance with others just as passionate about creating art. In one last, desperate bid to connect, her dad (Danny McBride) decides that instead of taking Katie to the airport, the whole family should drive her cross-country to California in a road trip. This is a disaster, not least because a tech company unwittingly unleashes the robot apocalypse and the Mitchells are suddenly the last people not captured. They must band together and figure out how to incorporate their differences in order to survive and maybe save the world from evil rogue AI, Pal (Olivia Colman).
This was insanely cute. And had a better Olivia Colman performance than The Lost Daughter. I don't think it's breaking new ground with things to say about generational divides and parents not necessarily understanding their children but wanting to, but it feels like a fresh take. Sometimes that's all you need. It's currently streaming on Netflix.
