Monchi Maquette - Mitchells Vs The Machines Crew Gift

One of the cool perks of working in the animation & film industry are the artist/crew gifts we get after delivery of films; posters, movie memorabilia, etc. I’ve received a fair share of fantastic gifts during my time in ILM Singapore but this particular one from Sony Imageworks is pretty special – a maquette replica of the world saving dog from the 2021 Netflix/Sony Pictures Animation film Mitchells Vs The Machines.

Sony Pictures Animation actually handed out these to the crew of the show quite a while back but mine has been entrusted with a friend for safekeeping until recently because I didn’t have the chance to head back to the studio to collect it ( we work from home now ). Engraved on the front of the maquette base is Katie’s line from the film “You guys are my people”, and on the back “Thanks to the greatest crew in the history of film !”.

And included with the gift is a nice letter of thanks from director Mike Rianda, producers Phil Lord/Chris Miller as well as the other higher-ups.

Netflix reported in July 2021 from their their quarterly earnings report that The Mitchells had become the service’s most-viewed animated work, with 53 million households having watched the film in the first 28 days of availability. If you haven’t already watched it, I highly recommend the film !

While you’re here, also be sure to check out the excellent art book for the film, which I reviewed here.
