One of my all-time favourite childhood movies. Also, growing up I learned that Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman became like an uncle and aunt to Mara Wilson after her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer during filming, they would have Mara stay at their house while her parents were at the hospital. Sadly Mara’s mother passed away before the movie came out and after years of thinking her mom never got to see the movie, DeVito told Mara that he’d been to visit her mom in the hospital before she died and allowed her to watch a rough cut of the movie.

Mara Wilson was the little girl in Mrs. Doubtfire. You should also check out the Musical version of Matilda on Netflix from 2022. It is really good

John Marnell

I'm so thrilled to be the one to get to tell you this: Mara Wilson is Ben Shapiro's cousin and she f***ing haaaaates his ass

This is an all time comfort movie for me. I ran the VHS into the ground growing up, and whenever I'm feeling down I put it on and it brings my mood up.

I was convinced as a little girl after reading this book that I too had telekinesis, and my mom did nothing to discourage me since it kept me out of her hair 😂 “I’m busy right now, have you tried moving your jewelry box yet today? Go on!”

Allison O

It’s a Roald Dahl book, that’s why it’s so wild 🤣. I loved the book as a kid so I saw this in the theater even though it came out when I was a teenager. It’s a pretty good adaptation! The musical (and the filmed version of the musical) is interesting and has some fun parts but it really changes the story. I guess a kid reading a lot isn’t very exciting on stage . . .

One of my favorite stories about this movie is that Mara Wilson was embarrassed to have to dance by herself in the “Little Bitty Pretty One” scene, so Danny Devito turned it into a dance party and had the whole crew dancing off camera with her.

Megan the Librarian

This librarian approves! 👍👍 We used to call our moving shelves in the back staff area "The Chokey"... Probably because you could theoretically crush someone in there. 😄 It makes sense when you realize the book is by the same guy who wrote Charlie and the Chocolate factory and James and the Giant Peach. The adults are always AWFUL! 😄 You should definitely watch the musical version as well!

dys

Childhood favorite for me too.

acidnova

I don't know if you looked it up afterwards but you guys saw Mara Wilson in the 90s Miracle on 34th Street a while back.

Jeremy Burch

I love this movie, I watched it so many times growing up. I would recommend checking out the musical as well, it's also great.

John Marnell

There's something very funny to me about saying "I gotta look up who directed that" 3 seconds after turning it off which is in turn 3 seconds before it would've told you lol It was Danny DeVito, by the way!

Suzanne Whyte

I strongly identified with Matilda as a kid for many reasons and I also made multiple attempts to move things with my mind. It didn’t work.

Alex

I'm sure other comments have mentioned it, but Mara was in Mrs Doubtfire and Miracle on 34th Street.

that girl

Which Allison Janney had a small part in

that girl

In retrospect, I had a huge crush on Miss Honey when I was 10.

I love this movie! I was a kid who loved reading but struggled to make friends, so when i revisited this movie as an adult, the following quote: "these books gave Matilda a hopeful and comforting message: you are not alone." Made me cry so hard i had to stop the movie for a while. The cast had a reunion in 2013, and did this incredible re-enactment of the cake scene! https://youtu.be/L453VY554vg?is=N4kTu1P3dK5rX0-

These days Mara Wilson is acting again, mostly voice acting, but she also writes a lot as well. She has a memoir called "Where am I Now?" where she talks about her life and what it was like working with robin Williams and danny devito. I mostly consume her work through the podcast Welcome to Night Vale, where she does the voice of The Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly Lives in Your Home. Below ive linked to the first episode of the show that she appears in :) (the show takes the format of a community radio news station in town where everything is weird, but life goes on normally despite this) https://youtu.be/ZuqZTRFx6dc?is=1hxwe9zIG3GM2PXv

After this I feel like watching Uptown girls should be a top priority. Excellent portrayal of a grown woman and little girl relating to each other.

Anjali Agarwal

As a kid, I believed that if I read enough books, I’d eventually develop telekinetic powers and be able to move things with my mind. Sadly, the telekinesis never kicked in, but my love for reading certainly did. :)

GDF

The musical is meant to be really good too.

Clare Manion

Y’know, now that you say it, this does really feel like a John Waters movie for kids… Or maybe the movie equivalent of gross-out jokes for little kids. But in the best way. And absolutely wonderful to find out Devito directed. I’m so glad you guys enjoyed it! Joe - “…the generation before me.” Well sure, but, my God man 😂 [cackles in Millennial].

Kat

This was an awesome reaction. I'm another who really identified with Matilda as a kid and I loved this movie. Would love to see you react to some more Roald Dahl adaptions - The Witches (the original version), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and James and the Giant Peach all come to mind if you haven't already seen them.

Kat

The musical has some good numbers but I agree, this version is far superior.

Jamie Morgan

Ngl I'm 37 and sometimes I still try.....

Seth Walker

I hadn't seen this movie since I was a kid. It's amazing in retrospect to see how much She Who Shall Not Be Named pillfered from Roald Dahl in the early creation of Harry Potter. Especially with the Dursleys. This was delightful. I was so happy to see it stood the test of time and was still great.

Ben Gilbert

Trunchbull is played by Pam Ferris who also played Uncle Vernon’s obnoxious sister in Prisoner of Azkaban.

Youtalkingtome

That's so incredibly sad. I'm really glad that they could be there for her. I really hope that they stayed close to this day

Youtalkingtome

I remember watching and reading X-Men comics at a young age, I definitely tried to see if I had telekinetic powers...sadly I'm still waiting on them!

Youtalkingtome

Not calling anyone old! I'm 30 and everyone at work calls me "unc." 🤦🏻‍♂️

Clare Manion

No worries! I thought it was funny 😄

Erica

I know this video is a bit old, but this just came up on my fb feed and i had to share!
