Here's everything you need to know about Netflix's animated adaptation of Roald Dahl's 'The Twits' 

Netflix has revealed the full cast of Phil Johnston's The Twits, and it's a talented group: Johnny Vegas, Margo Martindale, Emilia Clarke, Natalie Portman, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Ryan Lopez, Timothy Simons, Nicole Byer, Jason Mantzoukas, Alan Tudyk, Mark Proksch, Rebecca Wisocky, and Charlie Berens.

Mr. and Mrs. Twit are the meanest, smelliest, nastiest people in the world who also happen to own and operate the most disgusting, most dangerous, most idiotic amusement park in the world, Twitlandia. But when the Twits rise to power in their town, two brave orphans and a family of magical animals are forced to become as tricky as the Twits in order to save the city. A hysterically funny, wild ride of a film (chock-full of the Twits’ beloved tricks–from the Wormy Spaghetti to the Dreaded Shrinks), The Twits is also a story for our times, about the never-ending battle between cruelty and empathy.

The Jellyfish Pictures animated movie will be the first screen adaptation based on the Roald Dahl novel, which has been translated into 41 languages and sold 16 million copies worldwide. Katie Shanahan and Todd Demong serve as co-directors.

This comes after the streaming platform acquired the Roald Dahl Story Company in September 2021. More upcoming adaptations include Wes Anderson's live-action short film The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and an animated version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
