Lois Lowry's popular children's book, The Willoughbys, is coming to life thanks to Netflix. Most of the movies for kids on Netflix [1] come from other studios, but this animated film is a Netflix original with a stacked voice cast that includes Will Forte, Maya Rudolph, Alessia Cara, Terry Crews, Martin Short, Jane Krakowski, Séan Cullen, and Ricky Gervais.

"Convinced they'd be better off raising themselves, the Willoughby children hatch a sneaky plan to send their selfish parents on holiday," reads Netflix's description of the film. "The siblings then embark on their own high-flying adventure to find the true meaning of family."
