The Willoughbys film (2020), a Netflix animated movie based on Lois Lowry’s book, follows four neglected siblings—Tim, Jane, and twins Barnaby A & B—who scheme to become orphans by sending their awful parents on a dangerous vacation. With help from a warm-hearted nanny and a quirky candy maker, the children escape their toxic home and ultimately form a loving, chosen family.
Starring Will Forte, Maya Rudolph, Alessia Cara, Terry Crews, Martin Short, Jane Krakowski and Ricky Gervais.
The film blends dark humor with vibrant animation and delivers a heartfelt message: real family is built on love, not blood.
