Guillermo del Toro loves a Pan's Labyrinth/Mitchells vs. the Machines fan poster. The Mexican filmmaker is best known for his Academy Award-winning fantasy films like Pan's Labyrinth and The Shape of Water, the latter winning del Toro Oscars for Best Director and Best Picture. The former was released in 2006 and was originally titled El laberinto del fauno. The Spanish-language film is a modern-day fairy tale that follows a young girl, Ofelia, who interacts with a mysterious faun creature in an overgrown, abandoned labyrinth.
On the other hand, The Mitchells vs. The Machines is a 2021 animated film by writer/directors Michael Rianda and Jeff Rowe that follows the titular family as they embark on a cross-country road trip that is upended by an onslaught of intelligent robots. Due to the pandemic, Sony Pictures Animation sold the film off to Netflix, where it was released in April and quickly became the streamer's most popular animated flick. Mitchells vs. the Machines' ensemble voice cast includes Danny McBride, Maya Rudolph, Eric André, Olivia Colman, Fred Armisen, Beck Bennett, John Legend, Chrissy Teigen, Blake Griffin, and Conan O'Brien.
