    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Mara Wilson, who played the title character in Matilda (1996), turned down a cameo role, saying she didn't want to fly to England just for one day of filming. Similarly, Pam Ferris (Miss Trunchbull in the original) was also offered a cameo but supposedly turned it down as it clashed with rehearsals for a stage play.
    • Goofs
      Early in the movie, Miss Trunchbull is referenced as having competed at the Olympics after having also been the 1959 English champion in Women's hammer throw. This was not an Olympic event until 2000, making it unlikely Agatha Trunchbull competed at that level. Given the character, however, it might be presumed that it was all fabricated.
    • Quotes

      Mrs. Phelps: Is it a bully? Because you know, the best way to deal with bullies, is tell someone. Straight away. They thrive on... silence.

    • Crazy credits
      The Roald Dahl Story Company logo appears in the form of a golden ticket inside a Wonka candy bar (from Dahl's novel "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory").
    • Alternate versions
      In the French and Thai dubs, the reprise for "When I Grow Up" is left in instrumental. Likewise, the Turkish dub leaves it in English.

    Superb

    My children are currently rehearsing for this musical with their theatre group so we were looking forward to this.

    The songs are all there and brilliantly performed. The staging and filming is so stunning to watch. Emma Thompson plays a good Miss Trunchabull. We all know the story of Matilda so I won't go into that but this is a film for the whole family to enjoy. Don't wait for it to stream on Netflix, this film really benefits from a big screen and awesome sound stage.

    I would happily watch this film again, it was an excellent feel good film. The cast were perfect in each of the roles and choreography was brilliant.
