Netflix has finally pulled back the curtain on the highly anticipated animated adaptation of Roald Dahl's beloved children's book The Twits, revealing an all-star British cast that's sure to delight audiences of all ages.
Meet the Miserable Couple
Leading the cast as the delightfully disgusting Mr. and Mrs. Twit are comedy legend Johnny Vegas and former EastEnders star Natalie Cassidy. Vegas brings his signature gruff charm to the beard-infested Mr. Twit, while Cassidy perfectly captures the spiteful nature of the horrible Mrs. Twit.
Supporting Cast of Fan Favourites
The star power doesn't stop with the main characters. The film features an impressive ensemble including:
- Mawaan Rizwan as the clever Roly Poly Bird
- Rob Brydon bringing his vocal talents to a key role
- Phoebe Dynevor adding her rising star power to the project
- Geoffrey Palmer appearing in one of his final roles
- Richard Ayoade contributing his distinctive voice
- Noel Fielding adding his unique comedic flair
Behind the Scenes Talent
Helming this ambitious adaptation is acclaimed director Phil Johnston, known for his work on Zootopia and Wreck-It Ralph. The screenplay comes from the talented hands of Johnston and Meg Favreau, promising to stay true to Dahl's darkly humorous spirit while bringing fresh elements to the classic tale.
Netflix's Roald Dahl Universe Expands
This film represents another major step in Netflix's ongoing mission to bring Roald Dahl's entire literary universe to screens worldwide. Following their acquisition of the Roald Dahl Story Company in 2021, the streaming giant has been steadily developing adaptations of the author's most beloved works.
The Twits follows the successful release of Matilda the Musical and continues Netflix's commitment to introducing Dahl's magical world to new generations of viewers.
While an exact release date remains under wraps, the casting announcement signals that production is well underway. Fans can expect the film to premiere exclusively on Netflix, continuing the platform's tradition of bringing high-quality family entertainment to subscribers worldwide.
