The movie The Willoughbys is about four siblings with horribly selfish parents hatch a plan to get rid of them for good and form a perfectly imperfect family of their own. Since the kids were neglected by their parents, the old fashioned kids venture out into the modern world and meet their nanny. While this movie displays the flaws of family, it really supports that no matter how tough things are , don’t give up on your family or yourself. Also i love the animation, it’s gorgeous and all the colors really stood out to me. 

I had first thought this movie was some childish movie that didn’t show anything interesting. Well, I have now added this to my favorite list and have introduced it to many friends. It has helped some in hard times with the funny plot along with the dark twists. My overall favorite characters were the twins just because it showed a new type of narrator that i haven’t seen a movie or book use before, I just overall love this movie even if i grow up i still find this movie enjoyable.I had first thought this movie was some childish movie that didn’t show anything interesting. Well, I have now added this to my favorite list and have introduced it to many of my friends. It has helped some in hard times with the funny plot along with the dark twists. My overall favorite characters were the twins just because of their awkwardness and the sweater they shared; and the cat just because it showed a new type of narrator that I haven’t seen a movie or book use before. I just overall love this movie even if I grow up I will still find this movie enjoyable.Incredibly bright, interesting, with a good sense of humor, family cartoon. 

Excellent animation and drawing of characters, an interesting plot, and the most important thing is the kindness and teaching of small viewers to kindness and belief in a miracle, because it is so important to believe in the good and help others, treating everyone with kindness. I think the writer could have eased up a little on the display of how the parents treated the kids. It was very harsh and upsetting to see kids get treated like crap but I guess that’s the purpose of the movie. And I feel as if the background and colors could have been just a tad brighter, so it could be more of an eye catcher .
