A brand new story inspired by Roald Dahl’s iconic characters.
On Netflix October 17.
Buckle up for a thrilling adventure because we’re heading to Twitlandia. On Oct. 17, Netflix will release the animated film The Twits — written, directed, and produced by Academy Award nominee Phil Johnston (Ralph Breaks the Internet) and animated by Jellyfish Pictures (The Boss Baby, The Bad Guys). Rounding out the filmmaking team are co-directors Katie Shanahan and Todd Demong, producer Maggie Malone, producer Daisy West, and writer Meg Favreau. The Twits marks the first screen adaptation based on the Roald Dahl book of the same name, which has been translated into 41 languages and sold 16 million copies worldwide.
This story follows Mr. and Mrs. Twit — who are the miserable owners of a dangerous amusement park — and their meteoric rise to power in their town. The Twits’ takeover leads to an ongoing conflict between them, two children, and a community of magical animals who are determined to stop them.
Johnston was excited to take on the project, as The Twits was his favorite book growing up. “I’ve always been attracted to reprehensible characters. I don’t know what this says about me, and I really don’t want to look into it,” he told Netflix earlier this year. “I love the Twits and their terrible tricks. I love that they lack self-awareness and personal hygiene and any inkling of human decency. And I love this movie because it reminds us that twits like the Twits, whose default emotions are anger and vengeance, can’t be allowed to win in our world.”
Whether you’re already a fan of Dahl’s tale or discovering a new soon-to-be obsession, here’s everything you need to know about The Twits.
