Who else feels happy listening to the love, care and tenderness in Danny Devitos voice while he narrates Matildas story. Like you can tell he actually cares about her.
That’s what I was thinking.
Hell Mara’s mother, Suzy, was fighting cancer when they filmed this so Danny and Rhea actually took her in. Sadly, Suzy passed away before the film was released in theaters but she did get to see an unedited version of it.
I can’t believe I never realised the narrator was played by the same actor of Mr. Wormwood 😭
This movie gives so much comfort to kids with families who don’t love or understand them. Well done to the cast and crew, especially Danny Devito. I think this movie will be his legacy.
Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman also supported Mara Wilson when her mother was dying of cancer.

I remember seeing this movie as a child and just being in awe at the world and I couldn't wait to experience the joys of life, only to get older and realise it's mostly responsibilities and trying to find inner peace.
yeah, it is so strange that as kids we think that life is going to be easier since we would be old enough to get things done but no. The older we get the more responsibilities pile up and life becomes kinda different and difficult. And it becomes important to not only look for your regular health but mental health as well since that starts to become a thing too. I just finished my studies and will start my first job in about a month, so I can feel that "funtime" is slowly ending. At the same time I would like to use it as a chance to constantly improve myself, becoming a better man, a better boyfriend and maybe one day a good husband and dad.
Try to find that awe at the world again and sometimes look at the world through the eyes of a child again. Many joys and wonders are waiting out there. :)
@@ginafromcologne9281 As you get older, it becomes more important to stay in touch with children and young people. I'm 72 years old and don't have any grandchildren, so I joined Big Brothers last summer and now spend time with a little boy at the local elementary school during the week.
This was essentially Danny DeVito’s movie. He produced it, directed it, starred in it, and narrated it. He’s a very talented guy.
It was so heart warming to hear how they supported Mara Wilson since her mom was dying of cancer, letting her stay with them, even going so far as to arrange a special screening for her so she could see the movie before she passed.
I read about that. Danny and rhea were, snd still are, great people in real life.
It's also one of his favourites that he ever directed (and understandably so)
@@dab7271 talk about the words “Don’t judge a book by its cover”
And a nice guy as well!
Poor Matilda, born just to be ignored by her family. Fortunately she ended up being on Ms. Honey's caring ❤️.
Honey 🍯, s caring ❤, valentine ♥ day 😂
Happy 😊, valentine ♥ day gift 📦 😂Johnnie Gonzalez Valentine ♥ gift 📦 😂
Agreed ❤ if it was my son or daughter I’d be so proud and cheering them on
As most young kids are 😮😢
You know I read that Rhold Daul was expressing the exact theme and idea of some grownups mistreating children harshly but some still good at heart. He was beaten and punished a lot by a lot of teachers at boarding school. But he still saw goodness in grown ups too.
Danny Devito was so kind as the narrator. :)
Like him way better as the narrator then Harry, I would say at least Mr Devito is a great kind man and a great uncle figure to Mara that’s such a great relationship for too legend actors indeed but still well done Mr Devito this is one of the best 90s films every made just like Beauty and the Beast, Hercules, The Lion King 1 and The Lion King 2 Simba’s Pride and Saving Private Ryan and also Toy Story 1 and Toy Story 2 and Madellaine mustn’t forget that great 1998 film too indeed!

@@drewharding Also Danny looked after Mara when her mother was dying of cancer.
Danny was not only the narrator but also one of the actors and he was the director and creator of the movie and his real wife played his wife in the movie.
He and Rhea helped look after Mara who’s mom was battling cancer at the time the movie was being made. She died before the premiere and was posthumously mentioned in the credits
00:57 How the baby is all annoyed at her sweaty abandoned brother shaking the rattle. 😂😂😂
They must've left him the car when she was in labor with Matilda 😢
@@kelseyfranklin1231surprised her husband didn’t abandon her in the hospital 😂
@@brennathecatlover4360 yeah, and by the annoyed look Harry gave her and Zinnia's complains, it's possible it was an unexpected pregnancy
@brennathecatlover4360
2 words: Tax shelter.
5:42 What a sweet laugh. Wonder what she's reading.
I guess it’s up to us to decide.

Little Matilda looks adorable and so cute! When I was small, I remember watching this movie and thinking that Iwanted to be as smart as Matilda and do whatever it takes
Even though Ms. Honey later tells Matilda "You were born into a family that doesn't always appreciate you.", I always for some reason thought they were adopting her in the beginning. I stumbled upon this movie about 11 or so years ago on Netflix, one of my favorite movies of all time :)
NO WAY!!! I thought she was adopted too! I knew I wasn't the only who thought the Wormwoods adopted her, come to find out they were her biological parents
At least in real life the parents( Harry & Zinnia ) took care of Mara Wilson when her mother died from cancer.
Seriously - this must be a Mandela effect. I swore she was adopted as well.
I was shocked when I recently found out she wasn't adopted. I mean her mother doesn't look anything like a woman who just went trough childbirth
7:58 "you know, sometimes I think there's something wrong with that girl". Yeah, her parents.
So Matilda's strong, young mind continued to grow, nurtured by the voices of all those authors who had set their books out into the world; like ships onto the sea.
These books gave Matilda a hopeful and comforting message:
*you are not alone.*
Cue Michael Jackson singing: "You are not alone..."
And those pancakes looked good as hell. 👍🏽😀
I bet Matilda found her birth certificate and worked out how she was when she said she was 6 and a half. :)
Probably!
The real mystery that I’ve been questioning till this day is how the hell did Matilda even survive with those monsters. Child neglected services are screaming for this girl. I know is just a movie but to think there are children like her in the world who probably have it worse than she does makes me sick.
When the narrator: Danny De Vito/ Mr. Wormbook said by the time she was two, she learn what most people learned in the in their early thirties how to take care of themselves hits hard because I’m thirty and I’m still learning. So if there are children out there who knows more than grownups is very impressive🌷
@@tbc543 there are kids out there who are smarter than adults
You do realize it's just a movie, right? Relax
@@somnuswaltz5586 Still a serious issue that needs to be addressed
Social Services just don't exist in the Roald Dahl world hahaha
At least they provided her food to eat, and a nice bedroom.
I love the baby's expression at 0:56 seconds, haha. It's like, 'what the h-ll, Michael? is this supposed to amuse me?'
This is the scene that made me join a library as a child because Matilda did, it really helped me develop my English. I was able to read wonderful books like Alice in Wonderland and The Lord of the Rings at a very young age.
Every child should watch this film and hopefully, be inspired to read more, just like I did.
am i the only one who can recite this entire movie word for word?
No, I remember my Mum recorded this when it played on the TV so I can even recite the advertisements that played between the scenes 😅
No, I know every word as well.
7:19 I always thought Matilda's dad said "You were 6 and had to be in school already." But it sounds like that because he was speaking so fast. He actually said "If you were 6 1/2, you'd be in school already." It even sounds right if you slow down the video to 0.25x
Yea he said if u were 6 you’d be in school already then Matilda says she wants to go to school since clearly her dad said she’s 4 so she wouldn’t be in school
It's so sad to see baby left alone at the first scene...
It happens a lot
That's Child Neglect
This movie is a classic, watched as a child and introduced it to my own children, as a child I loved to read books as well now it's the internet everything not the same.
One scene that pissed me off exceptionally..
Her mom: HOW WAS SCHOOL?
Matilda: school was great. My teacher let me do 6th grade work
Her mom: can’t you see I’m in the middle of an important phone call?
WHAT WAS THE POINT OF YOU ASKING THEN??? Great movie tho‼️
What's sad is that if Matilda didn't answer her, the mother will be scolding her for no answering.
You know when I first saw this movie as a kid I thought the only way to make my parents happy was to be smart and get high marks in school. I was always at a disadvantage when it came to schoolwork especially math. College was a nightmare for me. My dad had liver failure during the first semester of my first year of community college and a transplant. Then when I got into a university he died during the fall break. The trauma made my grades go down and by the end of the spring semester I was kicked out because of that. Now here I am trying college again. Community college sure but still working hard to get a job. My mom was so happy I made such a big choice like that on my own and I hope my dad would be happy too.
I'm so sorry for your loss!!!😢🤗 But I'm glad that you made the right decision!!!👍😊
@@cristyrodas I felt sorry for you that you lost your Dad.
@@cristyrodas You didn’t deserve to be kicked out of the university. I wish you would have another chance
@@erickbuckner4485 Oh, my dad is still alive. I didn't say that he died
@@cristyrodas Oh, sorry.

I've watched this film countless of times and now I'm just realizing... They left their son locked in a hot car while Minna was giving birth?! 😂
How did they even manage to do that?
Zinnia
Longing for a friend by reading about how great they are in a book is exactly what a good author does, and I know about it, because I'm a writer myself. A reader can appreciate a story by understanding its message, but mostly by appreciating why a character is good and relevant.
I always admired the library scenes here. I always thought that it was beautiful library.
as and adult seeing this , If this is in real life there is a 1-5% chance Matilda would be in Unsolved mysteries/Forensic files or Dateline.
My family was a lot like hers. And I somehow grew up to be a thinker who wanted to read books. My dad responded as hers did “why would you want a BOOK?”
My aunts would give bushel bags of romance novels..which would be tossed in the trash ASAP, because I loved Science Fiction.
RIP Jean Howard, the library lady (1927-2000)
Her name is Mrs Phelps.
Jean Howard is The Actor of Mrs.Phelps
I'm amazed no one at the library noticed the neglect. She never once showed up with a parent or close family friend.
I agree
How did the librarian not say anything? She’s a nice lady, but needed to do something like report it.
You know, I appreciate characters or even real people that love to read! As an avid book reader myself, it inspires me! I couldn't appreciate this stuff when I was younger for I didn't care much about reading, but now have read dozens of old literature books like: little women, great expectations (one of my favorites), tale of two cities, how to kill a mocking bird, and much more! I really appreciate characters that love to read-- because not only does it convey that they're smart, but also that they're calm and focused, the PERFECT attributes for a protagonist character! Although super obvious, the protagonist character is the one that is discovering new information and making decisions based on their internal and external motives! And the fact that Matilda's goal at the beginning is to find a book, therefore, search for a library to get that book, only to start reading more books, in which strikes up a personal want of a friend and more knowledge is freaking genius! Personally to me, I think having a character that loves to read just sets up soooo much perfect scenes and character development for your movies! But best of all, these attributes of Matilda makes her the textbook definition of an active protagonist! :D
She deserves a better family. I’m glad about what happend in the ending.
Seeing Matilda walk herself to the library at 4 reminds me of Helga from Hey Arnold going to preschool by herself b/c her parents are neglectful.
She cook her on breakfasts and read books
I just want to give Matilda a great big hug. Her despicable parents don't deserve her, and their son Mikey doesn't deserve a sister like her.
They would rather have Mikey as the only child
Makes you wish Fanfics can be made into UA-cam movies I would love to have seen Belle meet Metilda.
Spoilers Belle is really Matilda's great great great grandmother. She wrote many books that were passed down throughout the family. Over the generations the books were divided up amongst the heirs of each generation until Matilda's mother possessed only 1 remaining book. A children's book written by Belle about a little girl named Matilda, who went on a great adventure to find a magic library with books that told her endless stories. Matilda's mother loved the book as a young girl, and in a moment of epidural induced clarity that she really was a shitty person, but wanted her daughter to be better than her. So she decided to name her daughter after the protagonist. Harry who is disappointed that Matilda is a girl, doesn't care what the child's name is. Matilda stumbles upon the book tucked away in the attic at age 3, her first real book. The magazines haven't held her interest, too many fake looking people with plastered on smiles; but this book, this beautiful book, with it's pictures still vibrant in color, the calligraphy so beautiful. This book calls to her very soul. She sees her name on the cover "Matilda's Library" and she knows she must learn to read. Great great Grandmother's words echo through her mind, introducing her to the idea of a "Library", inspiring Matilda to go out into the world in search of this magical place.
As bad as Matilda's parents were, at least they weren't physcially abusive to her which some parents are, not that I'm ok with how they treated her because they emotionally abused her
Emotional abuse can leave permanent scars on a person, whereas the physical ones heal the emotional ones never do
Her dad almost pulled her arm in this clip
@ljmcdonald2703 I agree emotional abuse never heals but physical abuse always involves emotional abuse...so you can't argue it heals
The Dursleys are worse.
@@varricat least the Dursley’s weren’t his real parents
This part causes me to sobb and cry like Matilda because I feel so sorry for her being treated so badly and meanly by her parents and brother?😢😢😢😭😭😭
She didn’t deserve it
Matilda is treated terribly by her parents. Her parents tell her to watch tv like a good kid? That’s not being a good kid it’s opposite of being good! But I love the movie tho.
Good thing Ms. Honey adopted her at the end. The parents took care of Mara in real life when her mother died of breast cancer
I agree
This is what inspires me to watch Matilda because it really does have a powerful message about how to know about what to do with bullying
Damn, 0:38 the way he’s holding Matilda 😂
It's Dangerous
Matilda is special.
Yeah it's just sad that her parents didn't give a damn about her I mean she is a really smart girl
Matilda was born a prodigy, and she later even developed psychokinetic powers, which Ms. Honey theorized was a result of her brain being underworked, once Matilda's mind was overworked, she lost her psychokinetic powers, but she was fine with that, because she did not want to live her life being a miracle worker
It's Telekinetic
This is how parents behave when they're children aren't treated that way😢
Yup
Miss Honey Became Matilda's Legal Guardian and Adopted her at the End
One of my favorite movie when I was a kid.😍
I love this movie. I’m never get tired of it.
Like the librarian woman she was a great figure to make a grandmother figure to Matilda doesn't she got admit that library is a very good looking to see and learn to study at reading books doesn't it right guys!
Agreed
that was my childhood and even now as an adult, the starseeds will never have space in this cruel world but we don't care, there will always be books to read and write like I do, a long time ago I realized the absurdity of this world, but I must continue battling daily, it was like seeing myself, that's life
My all time favorite movie❤
Matilda is a beautiful name❤❤
Mrs. Phelps in this film is exactly how I imagined what she looked like.
And her actress was the real-life grandmother of the actress who portrayed Gwen Stacy in Spider-Man 3
I’m surprised Harry and Zinnia didn’t think of putting Matilda up for adoption the minute she was born if they hate her so much.
They used her for tax deduction claims. 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
Good movie
Mrs Phelps was Ron Howard’s real life mom who went on to portray the Olsen twins babysitter Mrs Baker in Two Of A Kind
This was one of my favorite VHS tapes growing up ❤ Matilda is one of my favorite characters of all time.
Their just being abusive that’s why they’re insulting her
I just noticed the narrator played as a father.
Danny Devito was the Narrator , the Father, the movie's director , and he created the movie.
And his real life wife played his wife in the movie.
And Mrs Phelps was Ron Howard’s real life mom
The Lorax is the Narrator.
@@aboundingvampirekiller2048isn’t it from his pov tho?
@@brennathecatlover4360 yes lol
The only family and friends that she has is her books😢
That was the same for me, books were my only true friends during my childhood.
I'm autistic and I got my diagnosis only last year. Sometimes I feel like Matilda because at 4 years old, I knew how to read without knowing reading because I remembered of the dialogues in the books and my sisters don't understand me
3:37 not your typical dinner time, not your usual family.
The dad and brother is just treating Matilda like trash, and seeing Matilda crying makes me sad. Parents can be jerks sometimes.
The same actor playing the dad is the same person who took Mara in when her mother was dying and pretty much treated her like their own kids. That’s gotta make you feel better about crappy Harry Wormwood. ❤️
All Childern Deserves Parents, But Not all Parents Deserves Children
I taught myself to read as well, but luckily, my parents were much more encouraging then the Wormwoods were!
I was able to read by myself my pictures books when I was 4 years old despite not knowing how to read (I'm autistic)
@@a.g.demada5263 So am I!
My mom loved the spinning car seat! We had a great time watching this one ❤
The Fact being that Mara Wilson's Mother passed before the film was out just makes me sad.
I know! To do such a great job in this movie while going through death of a family member in real life must’ve been tough for a little girl.
But it warms my heart to know that Danny and his wife took care of her and treated her like their own child…despite playing the mean parents.
I've loved this movie since I was 8 and I find this to be one of my faves
3:31 She Likes Pancakes
The real mystery that I have been questioning till this day is how the hell did Matilda even survive with those monsters? Child neglected services are screaming for this girl. I know it's just a movie, but to think that there are children like her in the world who probably have it worse than her makes me sick. When the narrator said that by the time she was two, she learned what most people learned in their early 30s, how to take care of herself, it hits hard because I am 30 and I'm still learning. So, if there are children out there who knows more than grown ups, then that's very impressive.
Unfortunately the treatment Matilda endured is pretty common. It generally is allowed because adult DON'T say anything. Take the librarian for example. Yes she is kind to Matilda, but she sees this girl walk in alone for weeks, spending all day there, and she has interacted with Matilda enough to know that she walks to/from the library each day. She doesn't call CPS, the police, or anyone. When Matilda suddenly "disappears" bc she went to school. The librarian doesn't call 911. Thousands of children are murdered by their parents/caregivers, and hiding the evidence when no one is noticing a kid missing anyway, is sadly very easy. I'm not saying the librarian is evil, neglectful or anything else, in fact she's human. She did what so many adults do when they see a kid being mistreated, they look the other way (especially in the 80's-90's when this took place). The adults don't want to rock the boat, pry, and are afraid of what worse fate awaits a child in the foster care disaster. Kids who are way too mature for their age are often victims of neglect and abuse. They've learned that adults can't be trusted so they rely on themselves. So if you interact with a child who acts a bit too much like Matilda know that your one call could make all the difference.
@@millersam07 Yeah, I know. And Matilda's parents don't like it when she reads books. Most parents don't like it when their children spend a lot of time playing games and watching TV. But in this movie, it's the opposite. Matilda's parents don't like it when she reads books, but they like it when she watches TV. Books give you knowledge and help you to improve your speaking or improve your language. That's why it's good to read books. I am not a bookworm like Matilda, but I read books that interest me. But don't worry. Such parents like Matilda's parents are very rare people. Such people may not come in your life.
@@londonofficeuser I get what you're saying but I'm going to disagree heavily on parents like Matilda's not being common. I've worked in child services, and my own parents were closer to the wormwood's than one would like to admit, though I never had superpowers. After over a decade of working with parents and children from a variety of social/economic, ethnic and generational backgrounds, it's clear that the wormwood's aren't that rare, and don't even rank that bad when compared to some of the monsters I've seen. If you can't imagine your own family treating you so poorly then count yourself among the extremely lucky ones. Most parents don't outright try to kill their children, but at least half of them don't really care or want the kid. They had the child out of obligation, selfish desire, bad circumstances, or truly did have an initial desire before conception, but the reality set in, and very few "rise to the challenge".
@@millersam07 No, that's false. I have seen that many parents are loving their children and taking care of them, including my parents. The wormwoods are a bit rare. Trust me, most parents are loving and caring to their children. Only some very evil and bad parents don't want the child. However, this is rare. The reason why some parents don't want children is because children are troubling them a lot, children are wasting their money and are not listening to them, etc. In some cases, it's the children's fault, but not always.
@@londonofficeuser Source: You had to believe me!
So, you're blaming the children for how shitty their parents are. That kind of victim-blaming is sickening.
I remember visiting Obiden all throughout these years as well as my past life. 🧐📝💜🎧📹
❤😂learns to read
Matilda always getting abused by her parents. I wish they treated her good. I feel sorry for that little girl.
Ikr. At least her parents let Ms. Honey raised her at the end. No more Wormwoods or Truchbull
Yes
Reading books are awesome and educational, when I was a child I enjoyed reading books by Dr Seuss and to this day I still enjoy reading them.
Mike Teavee is definitely a family member of the Wormwoods
Yea
Poor Matilda miss Jennifer hueny is a great and best mother Matilda could ever have Matilda is the best child that miss hueny could ever have i.m glad they both got what they want is thay alway wanted I am happy for them both
Poor little matlida 4:28 she went on the road by herself
Even if She Wants to Go with a Parent, They Won't let her go to the library
Would of been you it started with Matilda earliest memory I have ❤
Poor sorry Matilda love Christina I love you Matilda
The mom was so annoying!!!😒
I know right?
Very Annoying and Her Husband Is Worst
I liked how someone called the 'Wormwoods' the 'American Dursleys'. Danny Devito (Harry Wormwood) and Richard Griffiths (Vernon Dursley) both performed "The Sunshine Boys" on stage.
And the Wormwoods are only American in the 1996 movie. They're arguably British in the book
The "Matilda learned what most people learn by their 30s to take care of herself" line always confused me for a couple of reasons.
Like, don't most people truly learn how to care for themselves in their mid-to-late 20s, when they finish college or trade school and get out into the real world? By their early 30s, people have already figured out how to "adult" for lack of a better term.
And even then, I doubt Matilda was caring for herself to the extent that adults are. Sure, she was dressing herself and preparing her own meals, but it's not like she was doing taxes or choosing a health insurance plan. You know, the kind of stuff that people in their mid-20s are learning how to do for the first time when they're truly learning to care for themselves. The kind of stuff she was doing was advanced for her age, but was the kind of thing a lot of people learn in their teens or early twenties (or earlier - ten year olds can dress themselves for example) if they're not incredibly sheltered.
It wasn't a line meant to be taken seriously. Maybe that's the cause for confusion.
Its a joke... a joke based in truth... adults aren't as put together as children are taught to believe they are. Not everyone has it together by 30. Or even later sometimes.
I mean wow, you so pedantic. You really had to write all that complaining instead of just thinking about what the joke could mean for 2 seconds?
people in their 20s are children. I bet you dont live alone and never filed a tax return.
@@gaynzz6841 I live alone unless you count pets and have been since age 26 when I purchased my first house. And I filed a tax return for the first time when I was 18. I definitely don't know how to do everything but I reiterate: I doubt 6-year-old Matilda knew how to change a flat tire or file an insurance claim. Most people can dress themselves, make a simple meal, and make a several block walk to a desired destination like Matilda did well before their 30s.
@@chesiregirl Why, of course you did! I'm laughing because that's the exact kind of reply I expected. I bet, you are even doing your own laundry. Such a big boy, all grown up. And you have to prove it to everyone on youtube - because that's what grown-ups do after all! Did you know that the human brain doesn't even finish developing until 25? Did you know that up until the 20th century, in most countries the legal voting age was over 30 (and women were excluded)? Good times. True, you can teach a child to do taxes. But here's some advice from an adult: Get some self-esteem. For most people, that comes with growing up as well. I wish you good luck!
much doesn’t change how many different people destroyed towns appear exactly completely transformed every time they have to be replaced or rebuilt into newer buildings instead the new ones will be more modern and less complex than new ones are now because of their old design which makes them a little bit more complex and difficult than they originally truly were original except apparently extremely small buildings unopened place existing ones are still very new and the old building trees especially expanded the old building is a lot bigger and they have been replaced by the newer buildings and they have more space for the old ones are modern ones that have temporary estates are still new ones have new buildings that were used extensively they were installed
ourselves doesn’t haven’t had its expected common appearance ever before and they don’t even know how to act into a relationship with the person that we were supposed demoted and i don’t even know important events existed track expectations demoed by them to be the first to get their first impressions of them so we don’t really get it in the end but it still seems a lot more interesting and then they have the chance and then they just want us in their shoes so that they’re going through and not getting into a lot and not having any of their feelings or their emotions that are just being mean about it so it’s not really what we want but it doesn’t make any
Omg this movie is my childhood in a nutshell! I mean if any movie captured what my generation looked like it's this movie. I remember having to find things in the yellow pages before we had the internet.
Makes me feel all warm and nostalgic. I still love this movie so much.
When Matilda was at the library she had good manners
Matilda had a horrible family. Glad she stayed with Miss Honey. And Matilda's horrible family is not welcome to Guam for treating Matilda like crap. P.S. I'm a Guam guy. Remember what Ms. Wormwood said at the end "Nobody will be there. We're moving to Guam."
“Now go watch TV like a good kid.”
10 year old me:
“Okay daddy.” 😀
She is not poor they just ignored by her family
2:03 she writes her name but the A at the end gets shortened after she writes it. lol
It's Totally Fine
How did she learn?
She raised herself
In the Early 30s
i love matilda it's so good 😊
They are all so adorable 1:07
I like the relationship between Matilda and the librarian; she was the first mother figure in Matilda's life before Miss Honey.
Matilda Movie 1996
Yoooo! I FÙCKING MISS THIS MOVIE. I HAVENT SEEN IT SINCE I WAS LIKE 6 OR 7, brah!!
I love homegirl!
Her brothers name is Michael just like the Matilda I know has a brother Michael ,And the last name is Wormwood just like what will hit the earth in the book of Revelations during the Tribulation time period,Wormwood is also a herb for killing parasites from eating pork products.
For all of this time, I came to the strong conclusion that Matilda was actually adopted by Harry and Zinnia, which would make sense, because Matilda was nothing like her family, and it would make you imagine who her real parents would be, but it's possible that this place where she was staying as a newborn was just a hospital where she was born from Zinnia. It could be a wrong assumption that this hospital was an adoption agency, but it's possible, because Matilda really had nothing in common with her biological family. When I knew that Matilda had the adoption papers in the end, I supposed that these papers were blank release forms that her parents had kept and were taken secretly from Matilda, which proves by form that Matilda was actually adopted in the first place, but it's obvious now that Matilda acquired these forms herself when she felt the need to leave her parents. There are two ways to this theory, and this is a question that you'll have to answer yourself. Was Matilda born and raised by her own biological parents, or was she adopted?
I always figured she was switched at birth...
Love the set and cinematography on this movie!
Poor little girl
I never noticed how emotional this movie can be until now. I nearly cried @ the beginning because of the way Matilda’s family treated her. You can see how unhappy she was…until she was able to punish them in her own way. Lol
Poor Matilda's can't read books her parents
Poor matilda when she was born she got treated badly her parents want her to watch TV as a good kid read a book is good for kid then watch Tv
Her parents are child abusers! They must be proud of their smart daughter, she must have a relatively high IQ!
Than* Agreed, Reading Books Are Better
Babies! Your better off raising tomatoes!😂😂
She'd suck at that too
How can Mrs Wormwood walk like that after just giving birth? Wouldn't she be a little, um, sore?
I’ve seen this movie a thousand times, but I just now realized that at 0:53 they left their son in the car the whole time she was giving birth 💀
Geweldig film van matthilda vol met humor en avontuur 😊
Matilda is one genuine Einstein even if she gets an engineer or mechanical engineer degree and job. She knows how to make millions when she becomes a grown-up.
7:33 Harry throws Matilda’s book on the carpet while Michael watches WWF Raw on TV. Harry is one grouchy car dealer.
He’s such a big jerk too.
