Mr. and Mrs. Twit are the meanest, smelliest, nastiest people in the world. They run a dangerous, disgusting, and idiotic amusement park called Twitlandia. As the Twits rise to power in the town, two brave orphans — Beesha and Bubsy — together with a family of magical animals known as the Muggle-Wumps, try to out-wit them in order to save their city. Full of Dahl’s signature pranks like Wormy Spaghetti and the Dreaded Shrinks, the film becomes a wild, musical, and comedic showdown between cruelty and empathy. TheWrap+3Wikipedia+3Netflix+3
