Roald Dahl Adaptation THE TWITS Gets Netflix Streaming Premiere Date
Netflix has set a streaming premiere date for their upcoming animated comedy THE TWITS, which will launch on their platform on October 17th, 2025.
The Twits is based on Roald Dahl's 1980 children's novel, and was produced, directed, and co-written by Phil Johnston. It features the voices of Natalie Portman, Emilia Clarke, Margo Martindale and Johnny Vegas.
Musician David Byrne, of legendary post-punk band Talking Heads, wrote and produced three original songs for the film: “We’re Not Like Ev’ryone Else,” “Lullaby,” and “The Problem Is You.” Each is performed by the cast of The Twits. Paramore lead singer Hayley Williams joined Byrne as co-writer and performer on the end credits song, “Open the Door.”
In the film, 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.
