I love how Emma looks at Alisha when she is talking about success and failure, and how Alisha really looks like she is trying to take in Emma's wisdom. What an incredible mentor to have!
Alisha's own mother could not look at her daughter with more pride than the way Emma looks at her. I also love how Emma looks and speaks to Alisha as much as she does the adults. I had a crazy, huge smile on my face the whole time: Alisha has the makings of being a great actress.
I have seen several interviews with Alisha - really classy in all of them she's nearly entirely praising everyone else, director, co-stars, cast....wonderful collegiality!
It's so adorable to see older more experienced actors give advice to younger and less experienced actors
Just watched the movie on Netflix and it was wonderful!!! Those kids' singing and dancing was amazing and little Alisha was just fantastic!
They're both fantastic, as well as the actress that plays Miss Honey. It's the first movie adaptation of a stage musical I actually thought was successful in getting the material across in a creative and well-told manner. The only aspect I enjoyed about seeing it on Broadway was that I met Jennifer Grey who was in attendance, lol. Some numbers were good (the one cut from the film, "Loud" was performed by the amazing Lesli Margherita), but overall was only okay. The movie version though -- even though I knew the major plot point reveal near the end from the show, it actually made my cry with the movie!
I think the question to Emma turned out okay bc she answered it so well. And I loved how she kind of addressed it one on one with Alisha since the answer was supposed to be meant for her anyways. Seems like they‘ve developed a close relationship. 😊
It’s not a terrible question as yes she had failure but she’s also had and is having success and Alisha can learn from that. But the way or timing that they asked it seemed off so it stood out and seemed random and maybe even rude. It didn’t seem malicious but definitely awkward.
I love Emma she's so elegant and lovely seems like such a humble lady. She's amazing.
Can't wait to see this film! Talented young actress also Alisha great future ahead.
She is so incredibly bright for her age, she's going to be a huge success
I love Emma Thompson
I am so thankful for everything that I’ve ever had seen from Matilda
Because of what it inspires me to
See the Matilda the musical
Those kids were incredibly talented!! I applaud them all!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Totally teared up at 01:58 seeing her excitement getting the part, also, bonus she has pigtails which Trunchbull surely hates lol
Absolutista brilliant movie! Alisha is adorable and very talented, and Emma is amazing! The entire cast is fantastic!
That moment when the lady who plays Ms trenchbol is Ms honey in real life lol. It makes my maternal heart sooo stinkin happy that that sweet precious baby got to act with Emma Thompson. I really don’t think you can be in better hands. I have yet to see any of the movies that lady has done in the last few years lol. I love it when I get to see child actors in great opportunities with caring, safe & talented grownups:) Hoda, Jenna & Emma, it makes my heart happy. & with her supportive family backstage. So sweet. 💖😊🙏🏻
What the...the question they asked Emma was so out of left field lmao. It could've been worded better, but thankfully Emma handled it with such grace and turned it into a teaching moment. Can't say I'm surprised though. "Failure is good!" 😂
For real, where did that come from 😂
Yeah it seemed catty. Like let’s bring up this thing you failed at and is probably embarrassing. But yeah she definitely handled it well
The interviewers are actually not very good at their jobs. Luckily Thompson is a seasoned pro and styled it out.
She is just adorable big ray of light 🌞
I just saw it, brilliant movie! These two did so great. I have to admit, after years of poor movie musicals, I was somewhat skeptical of this, even after seeing the awesome trailer I still have reservations. But man, they melted away as soon as the film started. This was so amazing.
Emma Thompson is incredible
Outstanding extraordinary spectacular and thoughtful considerate merciful caring compassionate soul no matter what I know about her because Emma Thompson is humble person who
Is resilient strong powerful independent woman
I’m looking forward to the movie. The little girl is adorable for her age. Emma as lovely as ever I’ve been a fan of since Nanny McPhee and Harry Potter
Funny how she goes from a child future teacher, to a child controller to a child abuser.
@@foxteen8721 I get the teacher part but not the rest. I’ll let you know when I watch the movie soon
@@manuelorozco7760 Nanny McPhee, controlling naughty kids and now Miss Trunchbull abusing innocent kids.
@@foxteen8721 Oh now I remember
She’s 13
I just finished watching it and it was amazing! It's interesting that at one point near the end, I actually wondered about landing that leading role and how many kids must have tried out for it. It has to one of the most sought after children's roles ever. They clearly made the right casting choice. Everyone was fantastic!
And she’s lucky too cuz usually for British movies they use British actors, cuz it’s easier
Absolutely LOVED this Matilda. I think we are going to watch it again.
Loved every minute of it !
What a wonderful movie! Awesome acting and amazing talent of the entire cast. Alisha & Emma were my faves♥️
I love Alisha she seems like such a sweetheart especially in Abigail very talented ❤❤❤
I remember seeing this on Tiktok. So wholesome.
Emma Thompson is devoted dedicated loyal faithful in everything that she is about because of what I know about emma Thompson
Is so important humble resilient strong powerful independent passionate humble person that she is
This is one of the best interviews I’ve ever seen. The three women came together to create a life-changing teaching moment. Alicia will remember this advice forever.
Emma Thompson looks stunning!!
At 1st I thought it was going to be a bad movie but glad I continued to watch. I loved it! Alisha was amazing!
I love Alisha's voice
❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤
Can’t wait to see the musical with my 4 year old, xxx she played a part in a recent performance - this video so cute x
Just watched the movie myself, in Danish mind you, and absolutely loved it. While it may be herecy to some of you to watch such a great movie in anything but the original language, keep in mind that I watched the Danish play earlier this year with the songs and all translated as well. I absolutely loved the play, went to see it 4 times in fact, and was devastated to learn that the Danish soundtrack would not be released to the public, so booting up this movie and learning I could watch it in Danish and that all the songs I had come to love were more or less the same, brought a tear to my eye. And I assure you all, that the girl voicing Alisha in Danish does a great job and definitely does the young performer justice.
Matilda I love your expressions and your so smart I love your cheeky in cheeky too
Her reaction was so cute 🥹💕 I love Alisha ❤
shes so gorgeous!
Emma is such wise woman ❤
Emma Thompson
Is my favorite actress
I loved this movie. It was just amazing!!!
i love the headmistress actor
I was Miss Trunchbull in Matilda the Musical JR in my drama school, and watching the movie, I was so different to the movie-version!! 😂
It’s the same as anyone who can be ambassadors for respect and
Showing your true colors
Can't wait!!!
Emma is the best ❤
I love how in real life you like an adult and in the Matilda musical you are like a cheeky little girl
awesome!🤩
Awesome movie great actors
Alisha inspires me so much as a young stage actress who is around her age I have been doing stage acing for 7 years and this year I decided to audition for the biggest show in my country and callbacks are sometime this week so im super nervous anyways Alisha is Irish and so am i and I found it so amazing that she is only 13 and is a big movie star already and someday I would love to be in a movie its my dream and her British accent is amazing and she just is amazing and so talented!
“It has nothing to do with u, u horrible little squirt” 😂
WOW for so long i was wanting too see the Matilda The Musical I finally got to see it it is so good I bet it was fun I wish I could of been acting and singing in it
Alish is the cutest girl in the world. She is absolutely adorable in a fantastic movie. Ema Thompson should win an Oscar for her roll!
Matilda te amoooooo
I loved the new movie Matilda the musical i even watched it 3 times😃 🎥
I love the movie!! It is me and my sister’s favorite movie!! I have always dreamed of being like u Alisha Weir!
The fact Emma was acting as trunchbell who was the opposite but still did great!
I knew, Ms Trenchbull looked kind of familiar. However I didn't recognize her as Emma Thomson. So cool!! 😅😆🙈
And doesn’t Alisha do the British accent very well! Go on Alisha!!
😂 that would be because she’s British
@@laurenmalone232 Alisha is Irish, her accent is nothing like what she has to do in the movie! She does do a fabulous job
@@Joe-wt6eh I know that. I just said she's Irish.
@@Joe-wt6eh Ireland is not part of Great Britain, actually! But Northern Ireland is part of the UK. Alisha is from Dublin, which is in the Republic of Ireland so she’s Irish, not British. Can definitely be confusing.
@@Joe-wt6eh Ireland is not in Great Britain ffs. Google is your friend.
You're adorable good job
As a huge fan of the original novel and the 1996 movies, I loved the musical-to-movie adaptation, and usually I'm not a fan of remakes or new adaptations of old classics. Only thing I was sad about was that the hilarious number "Telly" sung by Mr. Wormwood was left out.
I want Emma Thomson as my second Mum 😂
i watched the movie. She's amazing and the cast what a performance.
Emma is stunning, so classy and beautiful!
I love your hair
And she looks so pretty
OMG she talks like the woman from Touched by an Angel. I think because I watched that show growing up, I have always associated this irish accident with innocence and purity.
She is sooooo cute
The question to Emma was rude😂😂😂 although it was asked on good grounds
I was thinking that too at first. But, Emma turned it into an opportunity to give that young lady some very good advice that I hope she listens to in the years to come. She has entered a vicious industry at a very young age. And I'm sure Emma realizes that more than most.
Matilde te amoooo
Alisha is soooo 🤩 pretty
I absolutely love the movie Alisha, My 3 favourite songs is where you had to do p.e, My second is revolting children, my 1st favourite is School Song, thank you for all the great memories, and keep going on your skills! Hope you have a nice day!
Why did they bring up Emma Thompson's failed variety show? Lol
As an example of how failing one time doesn’t make you a failure
Yeah! It was shady. Not the right place or time. They are suppose to discuss the success of the movie.
Netflix Xmas day? Yayyayayaayayyaya
AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG MOVIE MUSICAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice
Matthew Warchus who directs the film, and the stage show, taught me drama at school.
Omg my little sister loves you in the back of the car you can hear her singing the songs
I know like all the words in Matilda the musical watched is 7 times
Aww she is so cute at fisrt I thought she was 8 or 9😅❤️
Of course she's Irish. The best people
Good
All the Americans wondering why this film version is so British 🙄😆🤣
ITS NOT A BOARDING SCHOOL. It’s just a normal school. Americans, “British” kids don’t only go to boarding schools. Regular schools exist 🙄
Ummm actually we do have boarding schools too
@@gothicgolem2947 yes, and that’s why I said we don’t ONLY go to boarding schools
@@marvellousaunt oh ok sorry
@@gothicgolem2947 Did you have to start off with "ummmm" are you meditating or something?
@@artscafe9371 ummm no but I wanted too
I watched Matilda the musical a lot
Well done for getting the part of matilda I wish I did but I am going to be on the everyman stage and it is for center stage the play is matilda but I am not matilda I wish I was love the movie
I LOVE YOU MATILDA I WOCH YOR MUVI MOR DEN WANS MY NANE IS SOPHIA.
Wait She is 13😮 I am so Surprised edit omg Ty for the likes
Edit MOM I'm famous
I thought she was 10
I thought she was 6 because that’s how old Matilda is supposed to be
@@coenfealy4731 Matilda was 5 when she started school in the book. They changed it for the 1996 film
She was 11 when it was filmed
Omg I thought she was 9 or 10 I didn’t think she was 13
Hi you ❤ two
it’s not a boarding school! i’m british and there’s barely any boarding schools there just normal like that one!
They’re prob thinking of 100+ yrs ago
Big Dublin accent on her!
I love the original Matilda with Mara Wilson but would love to see this version and see how it compares!
It’s very different, very imaginative, almost like a make believe world at times. There are little details that are the same but many things are vastly different from the original movie.
why compare? they're completely different formats
This new movie has nothing to do with the 1996 film. This movie is an adaptation from the West End Musical which is based on the book
I loved the original movie as well. I just watched this musical version yesterday and it was soooo good. There are differences from the original but the plot of the story is just the same. Emma Thompson and Alisha Weir and the rest of the cast did an amazing job. The songs, wow, so emotional and moving.
I watched this one last night and it was very fun. 1996 is better in some ways, this is better in others - but it is more like apples and... not oranges, but something similar to an apple but a totally different take on it. Both are enjoyable, but I kept comparing the Wormwoods in 1996 to this one, thinking how much more natural those ones were. The Wormwoods in this felt much less fleshed out, but the songs in this were amazing.
tl;dr Both are good, just depends on what you are in the mood for.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa next time you see aleasha can you tell her I love her so so so so so so much and that is my favorat movie and I’m her biggest fan 🎉 😊😂😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Is it just me or does anyone hear a fart sound when they say where Nigel is😂💕
Alisha reminds me of the Harry Potter star Emma Watson.......
😍
No its based on the broadway version of matilda not the novel
Does it already passed in New York
Oops I may be missed it on Christmas day
my classmate name is alisha!
Man, i didn’t expect to come to this video to find all the American hate. Can people calm down and focus on this fantastic little star? And Dame Emma Thompson?
She’s perfect in it ❤yes Emma was great in it, but who’s the main character: well I guess the one who has the name of the movie, MATILDA, Played by Alisha so she’s the one I refer to as perfect, as she is perfect in every scene
