This October Netflix is delving deep in to the world of Roald Dahl with brand new animated feature The Twits. The film, from Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Phil Johnston, is set to premiere globally on October 17, 2025. Now the streamer has revealed the official trailer for the film, taking us right back in to Dahl’s incredible imagination.
Academy Award-nominated filmmaker, Phil Johnston, reimagines Roald Dahl’s iconic characters, Jim and Credenza Twit, in their first feature animated adventure. The Twits tells the story of Mr. and Mrs. Twit, 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 children and a family of magical Muggle-Wumps, 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.
