What’s Inside This Collection
Katie Mitchell
Nine pages are devoted to Katie, the family’s creative older daughter, in happy, funny, and standing poses.
Rick, Linda, and Aaron
Six pages cover the rest of the family, with three of Rick, two of Aaron, and one of Linda.
Family Group Pages
Four pages show the Mitchells together as a family, a good choice for fans who want the whole group in one picture.
Monchi and Family Pairs
Eight pages show Monchi or a pair of characters, with three solo Monchi pages, Katie with Monchi, Aaron with Monchi, Rick with Monchi, Katie with Aaron and Monchi, and Katie with Aaron.
Robots and Mark Bowman
Four pages show the technology side of the story, with Mark Bowman, Eric, Deborahbot 5000, and a page that pairs Eric and Deborahbot 5000 together.
What The Mitchells vs. The Machines Coloring Pages Do
For youngsters between 2 and 7 years of age, guided, structured coloring supports stronger fine motor control, a key benefit named by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Start beginners on solo portraits of Katie, Rick, Aaron, and Monchi, then bring in the family and robot pages for older fans.
A 2005 Art Therapy Journal paper confirmed measurably lower anxiety after structured coloring sessions. Flat, bold shapes in the film’s style call for steady hands and an easy tempo.
The Mitchells vs. the Machines is a 2021 animated film from Sony Pictures Animation that follows a family on a cross-country road trip, and it premiered on Netflix on April 30, 2021. Mark Bowman is the tech founder behind PAL, while Eric and Deborahbot 5000 are damaged robots who help the family.
How to Color Mitchells Pages Well
- Bold colors: the film’s look is bright and playful, so saturated markers and crayons suit the characters well.
- Monchi: Monchi is a pug, so a light tan coat with a darker muzzle is a natural choice.
- Robots: cool metallic grays and blues work well, with a single bright accent color for details.
- Family pages: give each family member a different main color for clothing so every one stands apart on the page.
- Backgrounds: a simple road trip sky of light blue and yellow keeps the characters in focus.
