Roald Dahl's sincere hatred for beards now has a cinematic manifestation. Netflix's latest animated feature, The Twits, carries one into a fantastically imaginative realm where childhood's most detested creatures get their competition from a ragtag group of magical creatures and fearless orphans. With a mix of mischief, sentiment, filth, tyranny, and classic absurdity of Dahl, the film is sure to be a family and fan favorite. With the buzz skyrocketing, the cast stands top-notch, promising quality and intrigue to this children's classic.

Like candy for the grown-up crowd, rejuvinating nostalgia and childlike humor, The Twits' cast is here to upend the pandemonium.

Netflix has stopped at nothing while recruiting the high-profile cast for The Twits. Amongst the leading voices are Emmy-winning Margo Martindale as Mrs. Credenza S. Twit and British comedy icon Johnny Vegas as smelly old Mr. James T. Twit, the nefarious titular duo. They are joined by acclaimed heavy hitters Black Swan's Oscar-winner Natalie Portman as Mary Muggle-Wump and Game of Thrones sensation Emilia Clarke as Pippa, adding prestige and depth to the voice cast.

The roster of supporting voice talent brings in some rising newcomers and young talent as well as fan favorites such as Never Have I Ever's Maitreyi Ramakrishnan as Beesha Balti, Ryan Lopez as Bubsy Mulch, Jason Mantzoukas as Mayor Wayne John John-John, Timothy Simons as Marty Muggle-Wump, Alan Tudyk as Sweet Toed Toad, and Nicole Byer as Beverly Onion. The voice casting alone, being a spectacle, sets a high aspiration for the animated movie.

The Twits promises a thrilling ride to Loompaland full of character and unique comedic styles.

Achieving monumental success with K-pop Demon Hunters recently, Netflix's dedication to A-level animation finds another platform to thrive in The Twits, produced, directed, and co-written by Phil Johnston. Presenting a tale of empathy outlasting cruelty, Johnston's animated feature brings the classic 1980 Roald Dahl children's book to life, envisioning a sinister amusement-park coup by the Twits and the heroic rebellion that follows. 

The story pivots on Mr. and Mrs. Twit, the meanest, smelliest, nastiest people in the world, who operate the grimiest, most perilous amusement park in the world: Twitlandia. Two orphans and a band of Muggle-Wumps join forces to overthrow them in a rollicking, hilarious, and poignant quest. The film welcomes musicality and big production sheen, and has arrived on Netflix on October 17, 2025. Expect bratty chaos, filthy yet dazzling visuals, cheeky wit, and sentimental moments in this adaptation authentic to Dahl's signature aesthetic.
