Sad fact: Mara Wilson's mother was hospitalized with terminal breast cancer and died 4 months before Matilda came out in theaters. DeVito dedicated the film to Mara's mother and let Mara stay at his and Rhea's house when her dad was at work. He also showed the final recording of the movie to her mother so she would be able to see her daughter's performance before she died
In addition, DeVito and Rhea Perlman would often let Mara stay at their house while her father was working and her mom was in the hospital.
Everything the crew did for Mara and her family is honestly some of the most heartwarming stuff I've ever read.
@@jacobschmidt2771 isn’t it though? I’m reading the trivia for the film on IMDb, and apparently Mara was shy and nervous about dancing alone to Itty Bitty Pretty One, so DeVito and the entire cast and crew danced with her, just off camera.
Edit: Reading Mara’s book. This happened, it’s not just a unconfirmed trivia point on IMDb. ❤️❤️❤️
wow that was so sweet of him to do that.
Dang... I didn't know Lily Stone's mother passed...
I mean the real actress, not the character
I'm not even joking, my grandmother, who lived in New Jersey, went to beauty school with Danny Devito. I kid you not, whenever I talk about him, my grandmother keeps telling me how funny he was when they talked to each other.
👍👍👍👍
Wait...are you joking?
@@JohnGoetzGaming no I'm not. I am being 100% serious.
I find it hilarious he was in hairdressing school, how short did they have to make the chairs?
@@InvaderTak176 XD
Fabulous thing about Lorax: for the russian theaters he made a voice-over by himself. He speak in russian in that movie, without knowing the language
As well in italian, mexican spanish, spain spanish and the german!
*spoke
That's awesome!! +Bячеслав Котов
Is it obvious to native speakers that he doesn't know what he's really saying or is he decent at speaking another language?
@@OGdadpool As a spanish speaker I was blown away to hear him perform so good the latin american and spain spanish, is like he did the movie in american and british accent, and as non native german I can only say he did it great too.
I'm glad he didn't tear apart Matilda for one very good reason. Stories like Matilda help teach kids that the reality is that not all adults are right. Kids in abusive and neglectful families are taught that what they go through is right and normal, and movies like this help them realise they're not alone and it does happen to other kids.
I love Matilda, there are a lot of parallels to Harry Potter oddly enough
Here's something weird. I NEVER noticed how short he was .I knew he was short but I didn't realize just how short. It's a testament to how good his acting is .
big things can come from little packages, and he's definitely bigger than his disability made him out to be, i honestly hope that he feels a lot better about himself than he may have used to.
His personality fills the space his body doesn't.
I know what you mean.. Ofc I noticed he was short.. But I was never watching him as "the short guy" unless it's pointed out he blends in with anyone
@@mullaosloHe just has that it factor I'd still very much like to meet him He seems cool like a guy I can have a beer with maybe we'd have a deep conversation maybe not
From what I've read in interviews, Danny Devito is one of the nicest people you could work with in Hollywood; Mara Wilson have spoken about how he and his then wife became mentors and stand-in parents for her on the set of Matilda while her own mother battled cancer. And at the set for It's always sunny, he apparently often brings people together to cook dinner for them, and makes sure everybody keeps themselves mentally healthy and stress-free.
Kind people like that are very rare in movie industry.
What I love about DeVito in It's Always Sunny is just how much his character reflects the behind the scenes drama. Back when the show was still young, the executives threatened to cancel it unless the show runners could get a big name star signed on. DeVito agreed to the role, keeping the show afloat much like how his character keeps the gang in the clear by bank rolling their shenanigans.
@@KairuHakubi Also gotta love all the insults they fling at him. There's something beautiful about calling your biggest name a fat goblin on a daily basis.
If I remember right, DeVito was one of the first famous actors who did the cameo with their own name in the Simpsons (albeit James Earl Jones before him). I remember listening the comment reels of earlier episodes where they had the struggle of getting anyone to do camoes with their own name for not believing on some family animation, so DeVito sure hit my soft spot for doing that.
From what I understand, Danny actually came to the Always Sunny producers and asked to be on the show.
@@KairuHakubi How is crawling naked out of a couch "low energy"?
Danny Devito is one of my favorite actors, he's honestly the best version of penguin. definitely would love the next episode of this series to be about Robin Williams or Mike Meyers.
I'm glad someone else thinks so.
I'm a big comic fan and The Penguin is a character I just never understood, he was just a slightly deformed gangster, so what?
Danny DeVito as The Penguin, now that was an interesting character, he was disgusting and cruel, vulgar but with a weird humanity to him. Some said that his version of Penguin was confused but he reminds me of a real life insane murderers, yes they're scary monsters but it's also not their fault and they need help.
When I think of the Penguin, I think of Danny DeVito's spectacular performance~
I'd recommend Robin Lord Taylor's portrayal of the Penguin in Gotham, it's my personal favorite. I think he nailed that wonderful "savage animal wearing the skin of a sophisticate" motif.
That's not to disparage Devito of course, because while his arc may not be perfect, in terms of acting and look, he's phenomenal!
I'm sorry, but wrong. Oswald from Gotham and from Batman The Tell Tale Series are both better.
I loved the theory of him getting the nickname from his injury induced limp walk in Gotham. And loved the back and forth banter between him and Bruce in The Tell Tale Series.
Burton's Penguin isn't even a person. Fascinating to look at, but watching is a different story. I can't believe Mysterio can pin Big Show for a 3 count and I can't believe that version of Penguin ever exists.
If the suspension of belief doesn't work than the performance/direction doesn't work.
Frank Reynolds as director definitely sounds like a fascinating experience .
As far as I know he would’ve made a Trashman franchise
He financed, produced, and wrote some of the Lethal Weapon sequels!
You're the Caddicarus senator! I remember you!
@@synn8875 I heard the funding for Lethal Weapon 6 was stagnated due to creative differences on what constituted tasteful nudity lol
@@jcav9410 Yeah, but apparently they couldn’t find anyone else to fund it. So we get the after credit scene of Chief Lazarus going HAM on the witch doctor.
he was brilliant at playing as Phil from Hercules
A great character from one of my favorite Disney films.
Rule number one kid concentrate!
@@bewd4310 Rule number two... aim!
@@bewd4310 Rule #1 is actually: Don't Get Killed!
@@bewd4310 Rule number 95
This is a awesome new episode of career dive. I hope we can see Robin Williams next on the list.
I agree. Do Robin Williams. He is one of my all time favorite actors.
Its sad that the only person he couldn't make laugh was himself. I really miss him.
Bangarang!
Oh yes and Hugh Jackman and Arnie
Why Robin 😢? He was a great guy.
@@nixsis5281 Fufeeyo
The best way to describe Devito:
Creepy, cooky, mysterious and spooky, and altogether ooky.
The addams family
@@Dim4323 Which is why
if there is gonna be a live action reboot of the show
Devito HAS to be Uncle Fester!
*snap snap*
@@Dim4323 How has Burton not been near that property yet?
Ohh sweet pfp
Fun fact:
Danny DeVito was considered to voice Pikachu in Pokémon Detective Pikachu (2019) before Ryan Reynolds was cast.
Oh that....THAT would have been something
DeVito once said about detectice pikachu: What the fuck is Pokemon
Fun fact: Danny was supposed to play Mario before getting replace by bob Haskins.
I need to live in the alternate timeline where this is a thing.
That makes me imagine pikachu saying _"Get on the Torterras back!"_
Thumbs up to you if you get the reference.
Damn, Doug. This video essay made me tear up a bit. He's truly a treasure.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@ChannelAwesome
He just said you made him cry! God man read the room!
@@JohnGoetzGaming shhhhhhhhhh relax my friend
@@jacksithlord1301
Uhhh...mine was a joke
@@JohnGoetzGaming i know i was improving
I think 'It's always sunny' is the best showcase so far for DeVito's talents, it lets him fully indulge his darkness, silliness and acting talent, and he's a perfect complement to the rest of the ensemble. It's also proven that he'll do literally anything for a great comedy moment, thinking particularly of him slithering out of a sofa oiled up and naked.
Not anything, they wanted to have Frank get in really good shape as a running joke but he refused to do it.
To quote Damien from Mean Girls: "Oh my God, Danny DeVito I love your work!"
This channel been getting me through some rough days this month.... ♡
Hope things are getting better!
The thing about Matilda is that there *is* a reason it's so dark but also ridiculous. There's really no way to get around the fact that this story is about overcoming abuse and neglect. Matilda's world is so mean because there are real children who's parents, the ones who hold their entire lives in their hands, absolutely hate them. That is... an INSANELY uncomfortable thing to confront in any context, but Devito steps up to the plate and does it through a child's perspective no less. I mean really think about it, how many kids go through horrible things and have no outlet to understand or cope with any of it because the media facilitating that is never *for* them? The idea that a child's experiences are not child friendly is just sad in its own right, and overcoming that dissonance actually makes Matilda important.
A return to form of nostalgic Critic
True True
“Back to formula”
😅
I think the Matilda movie really nailed the Roald Dahl style of storytelling, which may be how it became so popular.
Yeah I never saw Matilda but I did read a few Dahl books as a kid and the description of the movie sounds just like Dahl's stories, inappropriately abusive to children, a creepy world that usually ends up being better than the kid's situation at home. Now that I think about it, I bet Rowling was inspired by Dahl when she wrote the Harry Potter books.
@@promontorium You can't say the same for some of the other Roald Dahl adaptations, Disney's attempt at a BFG adaptation just didn't capture the feel of his books.
I read the book before watching the movie. The edition that i had included Dahl's tips and techniques in writing. All of which Devito exacerbate really well
@@dcbandit there was an animated version of the BFG which is notably one of the few adaptations of his works that Dahl liked before he died. Most of everything else he disliked because too much was changed (Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and The Witches being the two most notable examples)
@@promontoriumJudging by some of Dahl's statements, JK Rowling must have gotten the whole goblin banker thing from him, too.
I'm a short bald fat person, every time a watch the work of Danny DeVito I feel very motivated
He's a great role model no matter what or who you are
I'm sure you will achieve greatness, keep it up.
“You were right, I was wrong, let’s never talk about this again” is the most accurate statement ever
2 things: One, pretty sure he got close to the camera about Matilda because he didn't want Mara Wilson to come after him again. And two, hearing Robin Williams say "I don't know I'm pretty fucked in the head." Was amazing.
And also sad when you consider his mental state prior to leaving this world we live in.
I hope Doug does Career Dive with Robin Williams...sad as we may feel about it...
You think that was mind-blowing, check out Robin Williams' stand-up specials from the 2000s. He averaged about twelve "fucks" per minute 😆
lol i'm pretty sure that after a while Doug just finally understood why people liked it, much like The Grinch didnt understand why everyone in Whoville was happy after he took everything from them, he had to ponder and ponder until it sunk in.
@@manuelalbertoromero9528 He had parkinsons too, if he were gonna live as intended he would be a wreck the last years of his life with memory loss and eating pain pills daily. Its really sad he killed himself, but at least he died the way he wanted instead of getting remembered by what happened to his body and mind
More Career Dive please!!!! This was a wonderful insight of a very underrated man. I've always liked Danny. Hard to believe he nearly got the part of Sallah in Raiders. I first saw Danny in Ruthless People and I thought he was brilliant. Thank you for this format, Doug. I absolutely enjoyed every second of this. 👍👏⭐
Glad you enjoyed it!!
He was still in Romancing the Stone, though.
I feel like nowadays DeVito is know as the crazy guy from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia which is a shame because he made some very good movies.
I only know him from Flying over the cuckoo's nest and I really liked him there ^^ wish I had more curiosity to see his other works
@@Superibis. A lot of films listed in this video are absolutely worth checking out when you have the time. Especially if you've never seen Matilda. That was my favorite film for years growing up.
I watch it's always sunny in Philadelphia
That's absolutely no shame. He's amazing in it.
Aaaand he's a doctor.
For a long time I never know he played the father in Matilda.
One of Roald Dahl’s consistent themes throughout his books is having the villains be over-the-top, ugly, black hearted grownups who treat children like vermin. The Witches, Spiker and Sponge from the Giant Peach, the Trunchbull here in Matilda. With their child victims being the ones who rise up to get back at them. It was essentially his way of telling an underdog story.
It’s ultimately why I consider Matilda the best movie adaptation of its source material. It didn’t shy away from how nasty, scary and pure evil the Trunchbull was in the book; throwing kids out of windows, forcing one of them to eat an enormous cake and even locking them in what was essentially an iron maiden. Holy oompa-loompa hell!
I want to see him career dive on Nicholas Cage, Jeff goldblum, Jack Nicholson, and Tim Curry, just to name a few.
👍👍👍👍👍
I think Tim Curry should be off limits because he had a stroke a while back.
@@CheeseReaper22
That doesn't diminish his work. He's still legendary and can have a talk about his career
@@CheeseReaper22 Career Dive is a positive look on someone's career, if anything Tim Curry is even more due for appreciation.
@@UltimateGamerCC Well the phrase Career Dive really threw me off.
It's actually appropriate that DeVito made Matilda. His mean-spirited, darkly comic style was a good match for a Roald Dahl story.
Fun Fact: Iago from Aladdin was originally going to be played by DeVito.
@@orangeslash1667 That would've worked, too.
@@ElvenRaptor Fun Fact: Getting DeVito for Hercules was very difficult because he said no at first, Disney had to do alot convincing to get him on board.
He was also the original choice for Mario in the live action film, but he said no. Sadly I can't blame him because Bob Hoskins regrets the role.

I have a friend who works in Congress and he told me a tale of a congressmen past down through the generations of congress. You see, there was once a congressman who would vote to veto any bill that came through congress, no matter what the bill said or even if it did align with his views, he would always vote to veto it without fail. In fact, he was so infamous for this that they gave him the nickname:
Danny the veto.
Ron Paul? 😏
Your joke would work if not for the fact Congress only vetoes presidential statutes, not bills. Simply casting a no vote for a bill is not a veto.
Grr, I wish there was a president named Daniel so the pun would work. Congress doesn't have veto power. It probably works in a non US country.
For those you're wondering where's the new intro? Well, give it a week or two for the next Nostalgia Critic episode.
Next week is the new intro
@@ChannelAwesome Thank you! I'll look forward to the new intro and a full review.
i loved the fact you mentioned "Other people's money" he has this speech that rivals Michael Douglass's "greed is good" speech.
As terrifying as the thumbnail for this video is, this is a terrific dive into Danny DeVito. That thumbnail though. Jesus.
Terrifying or...Beautiful?
@@ChannelAwesome ...can’t it be both?
This was fascinating, especially discovering that he and Rhea Perlman were a couple. It makes so much sense! My favorite film of Devito's has to be the "the War of the Roses." I saw it for the first time when I was a sophomore in college, and loved his asides and the fireworks between Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas. The man is brilliant at dark comedy.
We all know his craziest career choice:
Being the human version of red m&m
No seriously he did that, go watch the 2019 super bowl commercial!
“You wanna eat me?”
@@oatz8449 “No?”
That’s my favorite one!
Its true 👍.
Is it honestly weird that last night I wanted another career dive episode, and exactly today we get one.
DeVito's heart surpasses even the tallest of humans. God bless that man.
I always appreciated his voice acting rolls the most
17:20- I was not expecting that. Of all the parts of this video, this made my day, not because he's praising this film now, not because it seems like he finally gets it, but because I was in a similar boat. I couldn't get through this film as a kid, but I kinda love it now.
Not gonna lie, I'd love to see Danny devito and al pacino act together, they would somehow compliment one another's style
I would genuinely want to see this.
I always compared Danny DeVito to Joe Pesci. I feel like they could play brothers.
@@Pssybart Imagine Scorsese working witj Devito that would be AWESOME.
You should talk about Voice Actors/Actresses like Frank Welker, Tara Strong, Cree Summer, Mel Blanc and Tom Kenny!
I wonder what people did when Doug was filming that ad. I imagine everyone chilling in the house and then a high-pitched voice comes from the bathroom and everyone rushes to help.
By this point, probably just like "Oh, the weird guy next door must be filming again."
I had the same experience with "Anchorman" you had with "Matilda". For years, I hated it for being crass, stupid, and over the top. Now, I love it for those exact reasons.
He was great as The Lorax and the Penguin from Batman Returns.
The Lorax wasnt good
@@goodburger1114 if you think Gotham’s penguin is good, get lost
@@goodburger1114 poopy opinion
@@dillonohlemiller9027 they said Danny was great as the Lorax not that the movie as a whole was good.
I’m glad you’re continuing this this series!
These Career dive videos are so interesting to me because I just love learning about some of the most talented and wild people on the planet.
Danny DeVito will always be Herc's Phil 🐐🐐🐐
Philotetes, Trainer of Heroes and Eater of Fruit Bowls. XD
His role as Herb Powell, Homer’s estranged half-brother is one of my fave celebrity guest voices on The Simpson’s.
I was actually thinking of that, too! Loved Herbert Powell on The Simpson’s because Danny Devito made that character come to life!
He has always been fun to watch. The War of the Roses, Matilda, and Death to Smoochy were awesome.
Of all the essays you have done on so many topics over the years, I think this truly was the best. If I wanted to sum up just how talented Devito is, its that growing up and watching all of his movies, I never really noticed his height. Yea a movie like twins uses it effectively against Schwarzenegger, but Devito commands each performance so completely, I honestly never really noticed it until I was much older, and really never had a thought about how atypical he is until seeing this. You never notice Danny Devito because he totally commands every role he is in to the point where you never see him as Danny Devito. That is such a rare and unique talent, it's great to see something heartfelt here really draw attention to it.
Man I love Danny, so funny and talented and seems like a genuinely good human being. Small in stature but a bona fide giant in the industry. Personally I've always liked his penguin and Twins. He and Arnold were great together.
his portrayal of Penguin was better than the story around him, i still sympathized for him and understood why he was the way he was.
Love these career dives! Keep them coming! 😊
Glad you like them!
Are you trying to give me nightmares with that realistic Yuri eye thumbnail NC?
Yes
@@ChannelAwesome, Hi! Can you please upload for me next Thursday: Nostalgia Critic - Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang (2010), if you try, okay? Thank you!
@@ChannelAwesome Well at least you were honest. ^^;
Ah thanks for the heart!
Yuri, like from C&C: Red Alert 2?
Hey Doug. Thank you. I have so many words to describe how awesome this video is. I have been watching you for years. This is amazing work. I learned so much.
Glad you enjoyed it!!!
I actually went to the same acting school as him! He’s a massive legend to me and so many friends.
The Critic finally understanding and liking Matilda? Now that's some good character development right there. BD
I wonder what Mara Wilson would say about it... You know what, if he can finally accept Matilda maybe I can finally accept something from my childhood that I hated but everybody else loves, Cats Don't Dance!
@@hamurshwhat did you think?
@@thomastakesatollforthedark2231 I think that it's not that bad...
Danny Devito is a great rounded actor still his best work is in drama like in Renaissance Man
loved that movie!
@@VonSpyder Absolutely, it's a damned good film and it feels completely wrong that Wikipedia has it listed as a comedy film.
@@AkinokazeHaruichiban i always viewed it as more of a comedic drama.
@@VonSpyder Even though it has some jokes, and is "fish out of water", I've just never considered it to be a comedy or comedic-x.
To me it's just a drama with some humour. I'd actually compare it to the truman show. It contains jokes but it's not a comedy at all.
This is one of the best videos you have put out. You should definitely make more of these.
That's the plan! Thanks for watching!!
Thank you. DeVito has been underrated for decades, and just keeps producing.
I have to say - I love this concept. I was hooked on this episode of NostalgiaCritic. Well done!
It was very interesting to hear the personal stories of the Critic, about how he got acquainted with various films. It is necessary to insert this into reviews more often.
I love videos like this that go over a create person's career. It's helpful (to me, as a creative hobbyist) to see the similarities between these stories - making big gains from trying something new, confidence, having a vision, and luck.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Glad to see you sticking to going on with this series. It's always great to see you try something new, even when it doesn't work, or REALLY doesn't work and fails spectacularly, insert joke about your thing on The Wall here. I know you're still wearing the getup, the tie in this one, but it feels less like a character being played, and I've grown to appreciate Doug Walker talk a lot more about films and actors more than The Nostalgia Critic, despite everything. Hope this series keeps going and I hope you manage to improve even more.
I mean the man directed Matilda, starring Doug's FAVORITE young actress.
@Raymond Frand
His A Simple Wish review.
*DONT MESS WITH MARA WILSON!*
1:30 DeVito's directing style is so damn interesting
He's like a mix of Sam Raimi,Terry Gilliam and Brian De Palma
14:50 split diopters
17:50 well that is roald dahl books in general
20:02 that's called symoblislm
I think his style is most like Roald Dahl or if Roald Dahl had been a director instead of an author. It's unique among directors.
@@DuelScreen you nailed it
Hey Doug...I'mma need you to make more Career Dives, this was sooo good!
I know I can skip the advertisement in the middle of every video but I never do they can be strangely entertaining.

This whole video just makes me think "Oh my god, Danny DeVito, I love your work!"
Mean Girls reference?
@@ChannelAwesome Yep
Thank you for this. I also felt he offered far more than one note and deserves a deeper appreciation. I think he's very underrated as a dramatic actor. My favorite moment of his is his final monologue in The Big Kahuna.
This was one of the most professionally hashed out videos I’ve seen Doug do in a long time. I really hope you bring the channel further in this direction. I honestly preferred this to most NC’s that’ve been released in the past year or so. That isn’t a dig towards your content, it’s a hope that we can get more videos that show your understanding and intrigue of the film industry. Just my takeaway.
Probably helps I love Danny DeVito too I suppose hahaha
I wanna Danny Devito month to celebrate this great Legendary man
he should.
When they inevitably make live action Hercules, if they don’t bring Danny back as Phil there’s no point in making it

@@gamemediafan1714 like robin Willams getting Devito into a Disney film was not easy.
Thanks for posting this, it was insightful and well executed.
Glad you enjoyed it!!
My dad when he was young was his driver when he came in town one time. Apparently he had 1 rule. No short jokes. At the end of the night after they drove around he got out of the car and said "ya listened kid" and tipped him really well. Such a great guy
I love him in It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia.
Such a great show!
I enjoy that show and still makes me glad Danny Devito is still around.
Me too
Imagine if when Disney remakes Hercules, Danny Devito was behind the camera this time. We could get something different and dark.
Or even darker, Hunchback.
I’ve always loved Danny DeVito. Thank you for giving him the recognition he deserves.
23:39 Am I the only one that hears Danny's fist fitting his hand? It just sounds like there was a sound match with the music. Like it hits perfectly every time I see.
We need a full it’s always sunny review!
"There's a lot of actors that get type cast."

I don't even see him for his comedy, definitely the sincerity and tenderness that comes through.
Career Dive: Tim Curry!
Come on! You all now you want it
My favorite actor! It's a brilliant suggestion, I hope Doug takes note.
So glad they’re doing more career dives! I was hoping it wasn’t a one-off thing
I have to say after watching this video I have a ton of respect for Danny DeVito not knowing that he did all these different movies directed as well as produce it's just amazes me this is a truly great talent and a true legend respect.
Danny DeVito's character in "Taxi" is one of my favorite mean boss characters in television.
And I love "Death to Smootchie".
Wow, I honestly didn't even know that he had a movie directing career I had seem some of the movies I he talked about but didn't know Devito did them
I rewatched Matilda for the first time in nearly 18 years. I somehow completely forgot she had supernatural powers.
What a great episode. Danny DeVito is definitely someone I've took for granted. Glad to get this realization now than post humously. Time to start watching IASIP again
These editorials are the reason I still subscribe
I think my all time favorite Devito movie has to be 1994's Renaissance man , not sure what it is about that movie but it just has this cozy little nook in my heart

Keep doing these, this series has a lot of potential.
This is critic at his best . Very structured, well paced and something I look forward to
Glad you enjoyed it!!
It’s Always Sunny is renewed for up to season 18. I love the show to death and I can’t wait to see what they have to offer us when it comes to the whole pandemic situation
havent watched yet, but if they're still going it's evident that i'm missing out, going on my list.
cool now i love DeVito more than before, how was that possible? i ended up growing up with so much of his work i never even realized half of it was his work
He is amazing!
That was a good video, NC. Good job. Could you do Christoph Waltz next please?
Haven't been the biggest fan of the new style of reviews, but I love your video essays!
