Linda Mitchell is one of the two tritagonists (alongside Aaron Mitchell) of Sony Pictures Animation's film, The Mitchells vs. the Machines.
She is the wife of Rick Mitchell, and the mother of both Aaron and Katie Mitchell. Wanting to rebuild her daughter and husband's stranged relationship, she accepted Rick's idea of going on a car trip to get Katie to her university, rather than taking her to the airport. However, their trip would soon be interrupted when a vengeful sentient AI named PAL, created by PAL Labs, takes over the company's robots and starts capturing all humans in the world to reunite them and boast them all into space. Her and her family being the only ones left, they start a mission to try and defeat PAL, and save the World.
She was voiced by Maya Rudolph.
Her Good Ranking[]
What Makes Her Close to Being Pure Good?[]
- She empathized with Rick, asking if he's okay before leaving their home in the woods for Katie.
- She made "Katie cupcakes" to celebrate her going to university and saying goodbye.
- When she realized Katie wasn't going to take it well, she desperately tried to make Rick stop saying his opinion on her latest movie.
- She tried to get Rick and Katie to stop arguing.
- After he broke Katie's laptop, she talked him down to try and make he understand Katie's side, which led to him getting the idea of the field trip.
- She helped him and Aaron make a car trip to take Katie to the university.
- During the field trip, she used many strategies to try to get Rick and Katie closer, such as encouraging Rick to put on "Live Your Life", a song he and Katie used to sing a lot, and using cardboard signs to try to make him say the best possible dialogue with her.
- She tried to make the trip get a good turn by going on a dinosaur shop, since Aaron loves dinosaurs.
- She tried to use a filter so it'd make look like her family was feeling good during the trip.
- When Pal Prime robots appeared and attacked the shop, she and the rest of the family tried to imitate the Posy family and use a lot of complicate moves to escape through the madness, albeit to humiliating results.
- She tried to prevent Aaron from getting into the pod when he went to save Monchi.
- She comforted Katie and Aaron over the fear of the world takeover.
- She helped barricade the shop to defend themselves from the bots.
- When Deborahbot 5000 and Erick revealed the existence of a kill code, she and the rest of the family went to retrieve the kill code to defeat PAL and save humanity.
- She tried to make Deborahbot and Erick to fight the robots following them.
- She helped escape from the possessed machines that were chasing them in the mall.
- She saved Erick from a pillar, leading to him to admire her as his mother.
- She helped the rest of the family defeat the giant Furby.
- She was the reason why Deborahbot and Erick used their tractor rays to save the family and defeat the giant Furby.
- While she was seen walking out the mall while it is on fire, it is left too vague to show whether she helped out or not, plus she was seen with a stunned look on her face while walking out.
- After that, she and the rest of the family went to Silicon Valley to use the kill code to defeat PAL.
- She disguised herself as a robot like the rest of the family to infiltrate Silicon Valley.
- She felt ashamed when PAL revealed her transformed photo of the family to make them look falsely happy.
- She tried to protect Kaite and Aaron when the transporter they were in started collapsing.
- She freed herself from her pod using Rick's anniversary gift and went with him to upload Monchi's video into PAL's screens.
- She told Rick to use the search bar to find the video the needed, thus being an important factor in the regular PAL Prime bots being deactivated.
- When she saw Aaron being captured into a pod, she started fighting the Pal Prime Max bots, destroying most of them.
- She freed Aaron from his pod.
- In the final battle in the sky, she helped Katie and Rick by destroying many of the PAL Prime Max bots, while they all singed "Live Your Life", finally acting together as a family.
- She emotionally said goodbye as Katie went to college, getting better when Katie cheered her and her family up with a joke Rick once told her.
- She cheerfully asked the news about Katie's college life and her new girlfriend, Jade.
- She and the family decided to make a car trip instead of using the airport to go receive their considerations from the Government for saving the world, showing how united of a family they are now.
What Prevents Her From Being Pure Good?[]
- She shows that she can be lethal as shown in destroying several PAL Prime Max bots who were only going to retreat.
- She fails the admirable standards to Katie, Rick and Aaron, who all played bigger roles in PAL's defeat, with similar, or maybe even lower resources, considering Linda's fight skills.
Trivia[]
- She is the only member of the Mitchell family to fail the admirable standards, which is ironic considering she's technically the most powerful of them considering her fight skills.
