Un trionfo assoluto quello ottenuto da I Mitchell contro le Macchine agli Annie Awards 2022, i premi riguardanti il cinema d’animazione. Il film della Sony Pictures Animation distribuito da Netflix ha infatti vinto in ben otto categorie tra cui quelle per il miglior film e miglior regia.

I Mitchell contro le Macchine diventa così il favorito agli Oscar, ma dovrà vedersela con avversari tosti come Encanto e Flee, che agli Annie Awards ha vinto il premio come miglior film indipendente e che, ricordiamolo, agli Oscar concorre, per la prima volta nella storia, in tre categorie: film d’animazione, documentario e film internazionale.
