The Willoughbys

The Willoughbys is a 2020 computer-animated family comedy film based on the children's book of the same name by Lois Lowry and is directed by Kris Pearn and co-directed by Rob Lodermeier for Netflix.

Plot
Neglected by their parents, four old-fashioned siblings venture out into the modern world with their new nanny.

Why It’s A Willoughby

 * 1) The movie is incredibly faithful to the original book that it was based on.
 * 2) It has incredibly fun animation, even for a Netflix movie. It's very stylistic in the way that the characters move and how the backgrounds look.
 * 3) The movie's story is quite interesting to watch and to feel at times.
 * 4) It has a pretty catchy soundtrack to listen to as it composed by Mark Mothersbaugh.
 * 5) The movie has pretty interesting and likable characters, like the Willoughby kids Tim, Jane and The Barnaby twins, as well as side characters such as the Nanny and Commander Melanoff.
 * 6) It has quite witty and cool dialogue.
 * 7) The film's song "I Choose", sung by Alessia Cara, is an amazing song.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The Willoughbys' parents are the worst characters in the movie. Although they do get their comeuppance at the end.
 * 2) The movie gets somewhat mean-spirited sometimes.
 * 3) Very rarely, the movie sometimes feels like a kid friendly version of A Series of Unfortunate Events.
 * 4) The Willoughbys' wanted their parents to be killed in revenge, while satisfying, it can teaches kids a very bad morals to want your parents to be killed.
 * 5) False Advertising: In the first trailer for the movie, Jane says “We’re gonna find a new family” as they go on a trip around the world, suggesting they’re gonna search for a more caring family to stop Orphan Services from taking them away when in the actual film, not only is that line nonexistent in the film, but they're traveling the world to save their actual parents who traveled to Switzerland (or as this movie calls it, Sveetzerlünd) to the “Unclimbable Alp”, though for the same reason. Though they do get a new family at the end after the Nanny and Commander Melanoff save them.
 * 6) Plot Hole: If Commander Melanoff had a helicopter this whole time, why couldn't they use that to travel to Switzerland (or again, Sveetzerlünd) instead of building a dirigible?
