Listen, you can turn fucking Willy Wonka or Matilda American whatever BUT YOU CANNOT TURN THE TWITS AMERICAN.
The Twits are literally supposed to be a representation of every British old whitetrash couple and the book has satire on British politics.
And there’s vore in the movie? Fuck me, if Rahl Dahl didn’t like Willy Wonka, I think he’d hang himself if he saw this…
After hearing “hotdog juice” I turned it off and resisted the urge to throw the telly out the window
Thanks, I’ve decided that this thing that should have no impact on me has ruined my day now..
Seriously though, why do Americans think everything needs them to have a go at it, 90% of the time they miss the mark
Haven’t almost all Roald Dahl animations been American?
Yeah. Sorry I don’t care. If we don’t like it we can do a UK version. The Fantastic Mr. Fox was superb and Matilda is legendary.
What have they done to Mrs Twit?! 🤨
The Twits or, as they’re known in America, the Supergeniuses
Bastards
The MAGATs
Since when was Johnny Vegas American?
Twit is a Britishism, in the US remake they’re called the Hollabackin Pootytackin Cockamammies
Hollywood has tried repeatedly to adapt The Twits. The Croods series grew directly from an earlier attempt. They dropped the adaptation because they correctly realized that some stories just can’t be forced into the “Gang of misfits saves the day and live happily ever after” mold. The Twits is a story about two miserable cunts abusing each other to death. There’s nothing else to it. At best you could do a 15 minute short with a narrator.
Having watched it with my 5 year old can confirm it bares very little resemblance to the original story.
I saw an advert for this on Netflix and it pissed me off so much.
As Netflix does
Sacrilege it is though! Not anything like the original story
Watched this with the kids, so bad we gave up halfway through, if they’d just stuck with the actual story it could’ve been half decent
Not only has it become Americanised, they added in a load of other shit that wasn’t in the book. Fucking horrible.
Yeah I find what they’ve done here super disappointing. The Twits is one of the greatest kids books ever written, and they turned them into two generic Disney Channel villains
The twats (pronounced ‘twotts’)
Correction they’re called The MAGAs in America
ik it pissed me off so much
Should they all be Welsh?
Had to switch it off, got to about 20 mins and it just got on nerves so much. It bears no resemblance to the original story (a fave of mine as a kid). I don’t know why we (Brits) didn’t make our own version of The Twits, not blaming the American writers for changing things up to suit their target audience,but for us (who loved Roald Dahl’s stories as children and know them by heart – particularly GenXers who had to use our imagination when reading the books over and over) to see them changed so much they’re unrecognisable, is a more than a little 💔.

So, ‘The Americans’ then?
The Witches, too.
