In-depth conversation with The Willoughbys director Kris Pearn, designed for kids and families

Instead of running away from home, frustrated siblings Tim (Will Forte), Jane (Alessia Cara) and the Barnabys (Seán Cullen) use their ingenuity to achieve independence in ​The Willoughbys.​ The source of their troubles is parents (Martin Short and Jane Krakowski) who twirl each other around in evening gloves and three-piece suits, too love-struck and self-centered to give their kids proper attention. Convinced they’d be better off raising themselves, the Willoughby children hatch a sneaky plan to send their selfish parents on vacation. The siblings then embark on their own high-flying adventure to find the true meaning of family.

Watch The Willoughbys on Netflix then join us for a fun and educational Q&A with director, co-writer, and executive producer Kris Pearn to learn about the making of this offbeat and wickedly funny adaptation of the 2008 novel by acclaimed author Lois Lowry. Kris will also be doing some live drawing that participants can follow along with at home.
