After Spider-Verse, Check Out First Trailer for Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s Connected

Phil Lord and Chris Miller have proven themselves animation powerhouses with films like The LEGO Movie and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and just in we have our first trailer for this movie called Connected.

Here's the official description:

Sony Pictures Animation's CONNECTED is an original animated comedy from director Mike Rianda (Gravity Falls) and producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, The Lego Movie), about an everyday family's struggle to relate while technology rises up around the world! When Katie Mitchell (voiced by Abbi Jacobson), a creative outsider, is accepted into the film school of her dreams, her plans to meet "her people" at college are upended when her nature-loving dad Rick (voiced by Danny McBride) determines the whole family should drive Katie to school together and bond as a family one last time. Katie and Rick are joined by the rest of the family, including Katie's wildly positive mom Linda (voiced by Maya Rudolph), her quirky little brother Aaron (voiced by Mike Rianda), and the family's delightfully chubby pug Monchi for the ultimate family road trip. Suddenly, the Mitchells' plans are interrupted by a tech uprising: all around the world, the electronic devices people love – from phones, to appliances, to an innovative new line of personal robots – decide it's time to take over. With the help of two friendly malfunctioning robots, the Mitchells will have to get past their problems and work together to save each other and the world!

At first, I thought it was going to be some kind of animated family comedy, but things just take a sharp right turn and revealed a story about a family trying to survive the robotic uprising.

Just like Spider-Verse, the animation looks pretty sharp, and I'm getting some influences from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (and maybe some Regular Show). Granted how high Disney and Pixar are setting the bar for animated films, I'm actually excited to see what's in store for Connected.

Catch Connected when it comes out Sept. 18.
