There’s a very touching story that revolves around this movie. Mara Wilson, the actress that played Matilda, was filming this while her mother was dying of cancer. When the movie was finished but hadn’t been released yet, they found out her mom likely wouldn’t make it to the release. So Danny Devito arranged for her to see the movie in the hospital. She got to see her daughters movie before she passed on.

As some of y’all already know, On March 10, 1995, Mara Wilson’s mother, Suzie Wilson, was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer during filming. Mara revealed that Danny DeVito and his wife Rhea (Who played Matilda’s parents in the movie) would often look after her when her mother was in the hospital. Sadly Suzie later died on April 26, 1996, four months before the film’s theatrical release. Danny revealed that prior to her death, he had shown her the final edit of the movie so that she was able to see Mara’s performance in the movie. The finished film was dedicated to her memory. Also at 2:57 the song Send Me on my Way came out in 1994.

Miss honey is the most perfect movie character ever made. She's the teacher every kid probably wanted in their life. A little detail it's not big but it's good. Is that the fact every kid in class was able to answer her questions without problems means that She's a really great teacher

Them hiding in the house from the principal was intense and wild. Love that they know when to add the horror and suspense.

12:44 - 13:34 Something to note is Hortensia's backstory cut out from the movie. In the book, the girl has some huge nerve, but is also a survivor. She was sent six times to The Chokey, in her FIRST TERM. Twice for a whole day and the other times for two hours each. The first time was because she decided to play a prank on the Trunchbull (I mean, who wouldn't. I would want to put some dirt on that headmistress). She poured syrup on to the seat of the chair the Trunchbull was going to sit on at prayers. As Hortensia described it best: "When she lowered herself into the chair, there was a loud squelching noise, and it was beautiful. And when she jumped up again, the chair sort of stuck to the seat of those awful green breeches she wears and came up with her for a few seconds until the thick syrup slowly came unstuck. Then she clasped her hands to the seat of her breeches and both hands got covered in the muck. You should have heard her bellow." But some kid snuck on Hortensia, saw what she did, and ratted her out (She knocked his teeth out later on.), and the Trunchbull sent her to the Chokey for a whole day. The second time she played another prank where she snuck into the Trunchbull's room, while she was out teaching a class. Hortensia searched through her drawers where she kept all her gym underwear, and poured a load of inching-powder, called The Skin Scorcher, on every pair the Trunchbull had. And so when the Trunchbull wore them for gym at school, she started scratching like crazy, only for the scratching to get even worse: "She must have thought she had a wasp nest down there. And then, right in the middle of the Lord's Prayer, she leapt up and grabbed her bottom and rushed out of the room." Hortensia felt she wouldn't be caught, but even then, the Trunchbull gave her a day in the Chokey anyway. Mainly because of the Trunchbull's "nasty habit of guessing". Hortensia was mainly accused because of the syrup prank, despite no proof. And her trip to the Chokey was even worst than before since she suffered so many cuts from the broken glass and nails. Being at that school is basically war, when you think about it.

One of my favorite movies!! Haven’t finished the reaction yet but loving it so far!!

Mara Wilson (Matilda) got really shy when she had to dance in front of everybody at the scene where she mastered her powers, so everyone danced with her behind the cameras to make her feel safe ❤

Talk about support. Especially considering what Mara was going through.

The fact that while filming this, Mara Wilson's mother was diagnosed with cancer and then during post production, she passed, and Danny Devito had actually shown Mara's mother the movie even though it wasn't fully complete... plus he and his then wife, Rhea Perlman, offered to watch Mara while her parents went to doctors appointments and stuff... shows the kind of man Danny Devito really is

Fun Fact: The actress who plays Mrs. Phelps the librarian is the late Jean Speegle Howard, whose son is actor and director Ron Howard.

Miss Honeys house is very different from the book. The main difference being that there is literally nothing in there besides a small camping stove, and two wooden boxes. Matilda didn't decide to help her just to get justice for Miss Honeys father. She also did it because Miss Honey needed serious help.

Mara Wilson was actually really nervous about dancing on the table, so Danny Devito got the whole cast to dance behind the camera with her.

42:15 this has got to be the most satisfying moment for me to see miss trunchbull afraid of the big kids. They’ve had to endure her for the longest and now they finally get to have their revenge 😁👏🏼

This was one of the movies that I would watch religiously as a child. Also, the musical movie is really well done and is a good movie on its own; I think you will really enjoy it. Also, Miss Trunchbull is one of the best villains in literature.

Another big difference from the book: at the end of the book, Matilda actually does lose her abilities. As it turned out, she was only able to do so because she wasn't being academically challenged in Miss Honeys class, so her brain had to make up for it somehow. But that all stopped once she was transferred to a higher, more appropriate grade, because now for the first time in her life, she's being actively challenged, instead of having her smarts go to waste.

Sad fact about this film: Durning filming, Mara Wilson's (Matilda) mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and unfortunately passed away 4 months before the films release. Danny Devito, who was the films director had shown Mara's mother the final cut of the movie to show her daughters performance. Danny and his at the time wife Rhea Pearlman (Matilda's mother) had both been looking after Mara durning filming and after. Making sure she had fun and enjoyed filming.

This movie was always so special to me. It's nostalgic, it's well played out, it's got a great story, and all the actors played their parts extremely well and they all had good chemistry! It's everything I could want in a movie! What's also so incredibly bittersweet is that Danny DeVito was so nurturing towards Mara Wilson (Matilda) that he acted as a sort of father figure while her mother was sick and even arranged to have her mother be able to get a special viewing of the movie before she unfortunately passed away before the movie was fully released. He did it all in this movie. He starred in it, he narrated it, he directed it, he produced it and he cared for Mara! I just love this movie so much and I'm so glad it's getting the recognition it deserves! So glad you reacted to it!

I'm really glad Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman are nothing like that in real life. In fact Mara Wilson's mother died during filming and they were there to comfort here (I think even Pam Ferris), and yes, they're all three parents as well.

Danny devito got an early copy of the movie for mara Wilson's mom who was dying so she could see it before she passed.

The kid didn't eat all of it, but he still did have to eat a lot of it. In fact after they finally finished, he got sick to his stomach. I think what they basically did was have 4 to 5 different cakes, each with more cake missing, to make it look like he'd been eating it.

This is one of my favourite childhood movies growing up I love everything about it to the fact that not only did Danny Devito star in it but he also narrated and directed the movie which to me is so good. I also love how they made Trunchball so intense and so scary and the actress really delivered her role. I love Matilda and Miss Honeys relationship, I love that they found there happiness and become a loving family at the end ❤️❤️❤️ this movie has a lot of heartwarming and funny and dark scenes but overall it is an iconic movie and I’m glad you enjoyed it Cody can’t wait for the next movie reaction 😊😄😉😉👍👍👍 fun fact: Rhea pearlman the one playing Danny’s wife here is actually his real life wife 😊

Danny went beyond Saint for Mara while making this. During the kitchen scene, Mara was really nervous about getting on that table and dancing. So Danny had the entire cast and crew dance along with her behind the camera. And when it was confirmed Mara's mother wasn't going to make it in time for the film to be fully produced, Danny had them put everything they had together and play it at the hospital so she could see her little girl in action. The world needs at least a couple million more people like Danny Devito in it and that's the truth.

This movie will forever be iconic ❤

The fact that Matilda still makes an effort to protect her dad and entire family overall from the cops is amazing to me, even though they’re nothing but cruel to her she still protects them. They don’t even know she does it either which only makes it more heroic.

21:58 🤣 this moments was pure gold

I got that, but I wonder what motivated Trunchbull to kill him. We need a prequel on Trunchbull to understand her character on a deeper level. Was Trunchbull abused as a child, did she have a envy of her sister, Miss Honey's mother, and fell in love with Muss Honey's dad but he wasn't interested in her so she killed him out of revenge. So many possibilities.

I loved this movie with all my heart... and I still do

the actress who plays Miss Trunchball (Pam Ferris) also played aunt Marge in harry potter and the prisoner of azakban (the woman that got blown up as a balloon by harry!)

Matilda was a childhood classic of mine.

2:54 - I thought this song came out in the early 2000s? Me - The song "Send Me On My Way" was written in 1992 by "Rusted Root". 34:14 - I remember the scene where she's using her powers to make cereal (starting when she picks up the milk, ending when she's holding the spoon and smiling) being a Cheerios commercial for Cheerios and Matilda.

I remember i first watched it in school in 7th grade, Ms. Trunchball gave me nightmares istg The scene in her house is horrorish But i love it 😍 the bway musical is also one of my favorites, the songs there make me cry

28:33 Cody: I really wish that miss Honey could actually adopt Matilda. That would be like the perfect ending to this movie. Me: Well it looks like you got your wish.

This one is a big favorite of mine. I loved Matilda and related to her love of books, wanted magical powers of my own/pretended and the Trunchbull terrified the crap out of me.

The person who played Matilda also played Lily in Thomas and the magic railroad!

In the book, Matilda lost her powers in the end because she's in a class for advanced kids and has to concentrate more. Miss Honey's poverty is worse in the book because if I remember well, she doesn't even have a table and chairs. Fun fact : the man in the painting is in fact Roald Dalh, the author of the book

Reminder before you watch the musical: this movie is based on the book The movie musical is based on the Broadway musical.

This movie is great, I remember watching this movie when I was a kid, I also read the book that it was based on. Fun fact though Danny Devito directed this movie.

I’m so glad you reacted to one of my favorite movies of all time. It made my day! I actually got to meet Mara Wilson (Matilda) at a con a while ago, and she was so down to earth. ❤️

One of my favorite childhood movies and I'd say one of the best Roald Dhal adaptations and I bet he would've loved it if he was still alive.

21:58 the best bit in the movie

First off: at the time they filmed this, they actually were husband and wife. So what they did for the hat scene was put on a harness under the suit he's wearing, that connects to the hat, so when she tries to pull it off, he's holding it on with his whole body. So when you see her cutting the hat off in the next scene, she's actually cutting the wires from the harness off of the hat. The shot of the mom backflipping off the table wasn't her, it was a stunt double. And as for the cream tarts, what they did was set up miniature catapult seesaws, put a tart on one end on them, and essentially send them flying.

i recommend you : - *Mayor Payne (1995)* - *Problem Child (1990)*

Pam Ferris (Miss Trunchbull) would actually remain in-character around the child actors so that their fear of her would be genuine. That's dedication to the craft, though kinda sad when you think about it.

I love this movie and happy you reacted to it

21:58 My favorite another pause moment

Also Carrie is a teenager who's abused constantly no matter where she is. The reason she was even at prom was because one of her classmates felt guilty and wanted her boyfriend to ask Carrie to make up for it. Roald Dahl may have been inspired since the book came out in the late 80s and Carrie came out in 1974, with three movie adaptations and a musical (I love the villain song The World According to Chris, about the bully and why she thinks it's unfair to punish her for bullying Carrie and other kids). The gym teacher in Carrie, though, does try to help her.
