Twist City

Twist City is a 2008 American computer-animated musical comedy film produced by Splash Animation for Paramount Pictures. It was directed by Adrian Hancock in his directorial debut, and was produced by Brandon Monroe. The film stars Josh Keaton as Evan MacClature, a boy raised by human-shaped clouds who works at Twitzer Park, a local amusement park established on the town square of the surreal Twist City. When Evan's friend Caesar Applegate (voiced by Jonah Hill) wins a circus contest and receives the Vanilla Soul Crown grand prize, all of the citizens of Twist City become jealous, even Evan's arch-rival Erl Taube (voiced by Willem Dafoe), who plans on changing the rules of the city maliciously if he gets his hands on it. With the help of his fellow amusement park employees Beefburger Bason (Rob Paulsen), Four-Story Simeon (Matt Frewer), Mr. Pro Moe (Hank Azaria), and Nezzer Cray Chicken (Dan Castellaneta), Evan sets out to find Caesar and warn him about Taube's shenanigans.

The film was released on November 26, 2008 in the United States by Paramount Pictures. It received mixed reviews from critics and was a box office success, grossing $362 million over a budget of $62 million.
