Maya Rudolph and Will Forte Talk Working on Netflix's The Willoughbys
19Hot on the heels of releasing the Academy Award nominee Klaus, Netflix is back in the animated feature game with another film that rocks a stand-out visual style, Kris Pearn's adaptation of the Lois Lowry book, The Willoughbys. Will Forte steps in to voice one of the main characters, Tim, a 14-year-old with horrible parents. Determined to become orphans, Tim and his siblings devise a plan to get rid of them once and for all, but what they don't expect is their parents hiring someone to watch over them while they're gone. Cue Maya Rudolph's Nanny! She swoops in with all the energy in the world, ready and eager to cook, clean and support the kids however they need - something the Willoughby children are not used to at all.
With The Willoughbys now available to watch on Netflix, I got the chance to hop on a Zoom call with Forte and Rudolph to talk about their experience making the film. Check out this video interview to hear about how the character of Nanny evolved, what it's like watching a animated feature come together over such a lengthy period of time, why voicing animated characters appeals to them so much, and more!
