Review: The Willoughbys
Review: The Willoughbys
My fellow readers, for those of you stuck in quarantine, today I watched arguably the greatest animated film to ever come out on Netflix, The Willoughbys.
Based on Lois Lowry's book of the same name, it tells the story of 4 children, Tim, Jane and two twins named Barnaby. (I'm not kidding, their both named Barnaby it's creepy but also so hilarious) living in a home with godawful who treat them like trash. While being punished and kicked out off their home, they see a travel agency and come up with a solution to get rid of their parents and become orphans. While they're home alone, a nanny, voiced by the always hilarious Maya Rudolph, comes into their lives and takes care of them and they see her as their forever caretaker, well, except Tim. But he eventually warms up to her. When the Department of Orphan Services arrives, the kids realize that they've made a mistake by sending them away and they must find them so that they won't be orphaned again. In the end, the parents didn't learn lesson on loving their kids regardless but the nanny takes them in as their legal guardian.
A talented voice cast, beautiful animation, social themes, a well-written script and humor are always the ingredients used for making an animated feature film. Since the financial and critical success of Toy Story, CGI-Animated films have been dominating the media landscape ever since.
I really loved this voice cast. I really loved Will Forte as Tim, he brought so much humanity, personality and humor into his vocal performance, while Alessia Cara killed it as Jane. She even sang. I didn't expect Terry Crews to voiced a Candy general. I will never look at him in Brooklyn Nine-Nine the same way again. Martin Short and Jane Krakowski were admittedly hilarious voicing the stupidly-ignorant Willoughby parents and I LOVED Ricky Gervais as the Narrator, he's one of my favorite comedians. He's basically the king of Savage.
If you want to watch more Netflix animated films, check out The Little Prince and Klaus. Both of them are beautifully animated.
If you know a kid that is orphaned or if you know a local caretaker, don't be afraid to call the professionals and remember, tell your family that you love them. Like, really love them.
Thanks for reading. Don't forget to comment below.
