    After the first 5 minutes...nope.

    Just terrible. How could this (ab)use the Roald Dahl name? I guess its just now part of the Netflix sausage machine.

    I can sort of understand "Americanising" the original story but this just ends up weak and too mangled with annoying characters. My 8 and 11 year olds were pretty bored throughout. The only saving grace I can come up with is the animation is ok.

    I didn't like it.......At All

    I am a huge fan of the twits, But this just wasn't it, It felt so of paced and the people carrying the building, it was just ridiculous.

    I would of rather instead of doing this storyline i would, instead, do what the first book did, or do The Twits Next door a kind of spin off book, Also the animation was off it was rough from here to there, johnny Vegas as Mr twit was pure gold though, the vioce was just right, I give this movie 5 stars.

    Confusing, Boring and Sloppy

    This movie serves as a sort of sequel to the original book "The Twits" by Roald Dahl. It has references to the original film multiple times and has a completely different plot. It also starts out where the first book left out, when The Twits were upside down. There are some scenes however, where they take some ideas from the first book which is really confusing.

    This entire movie was really boring to watch. It has so many plot lines mixed up together that it's just not fun anymore. And the actual pranking that the Twits do to each other in the first book is hardly even there in this movie.

    Summary of the movie: A mixed-up, confusing convoluted plotline that is ultimately boring and sloppy to watch.

    Recommended to watch once if you're interested or haven't read the first book, because you don't really need to read the book to see it.

    Not a patch on the wonderful book.

    The Twits do all they can to get their theme park, Twitlandia, open. Kids from the local orphanage attempt to rescue magical creatures from the Twits, creatures that power Twitlandia.

    By far and away, my favourite book as a child, packed with wit, the grotesque, plus a side of compassion mixed in with all of the nastiness. A book for all ages. I wanted to love this film. I didn't hate it, but sadly it's not very good.

    As soon as it begins, you'll get a sense that it just doesn't feel right; the story, the artistic choices- I couldn't help but feel that it was some sort of poor man's Wallace and Gromit.

    The source material is magical; it's so funny! Why the need to totally reinterpret it? I did enjoy the presence of Johnny Vegas, though; I just felt he needed better material. I don't know about Mrs. Twit, though; I'm not feeling it.

    Not terrible, just not very good either.

    4/10.

    Is this for children or adults?

    It is very confusing that the animation sometimes feels like it's for adults not for children. Sometimes disturbing scenes and not funny at all. We couldn't really connect and after some time it just became a video for the background we started doing different things. And like is it a musical animation or not? It's so mixed up with everything that i just couldn't connect. Good potential and good idea but nope they mixed up so many ideas and the plot became so boringly confusing.
