The Twits stars Margo Martindale and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan spoke with ComingSoon's Tyler Treese about the new animated Netflix movie. The duo discussed their characters, working on a Road Dahl adaptation, and the film's nuanced message of empathy. It will begin streaming on Friday, October 17.
"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," says the synopsis.
