See the world from a kid's-eye view with MATILDA, a modern fairytale that mixes hilarious humor with the magical message of love. Mrs. Doubtfire's Mara Wilson stars as Matilda, a super-smart little girl who's woefully misunderstood by her parents (Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman), her brother, and an evil school principal. But with the help of a brave best friend and a wonderful teacher, Matilda discovers she doesn't have to get mad to get even.

Miss Trunchbull would make an excellent Codename: Kids Next Door villain.

“Your mommy is a twit !!” My favourite scene.🤣🤣

I love how Trunchbull actress is having the time of her life

Pam Ferris did a great job in this role- as a crazy villain principal

Danny chose wisely casting this film in particular the Trunchbull . The makeup artist did an amazing job creating the Trunchbull also.

For some reason, my favorite part of this scene is the kids commenting on Trunchbull's hammer throwing technique...

[SuperCosmicMutantSquid]

I love how Amanda's reaction before being thrown is just a mixture of bewilderment and confusion moreso than fear. Even her is just like 'I DUNNO WHAT'S HAPPENING. HUH??' and then she just goes FLYING through the air. XD

Poor Amanda. She was picked on because she was the smallest.

Now this is the version we all prefer, the one and only original, not the musical.

[LoveHandle]

One of the most iconic scenes from this cult classic.

I always wondered what that kid did to get detention so quickly. 😂

Imagine if Miss Trunchbull saw Wednesday Addams with her pigtails. Miss Trunchbull would be so screwed.

Shot put, Javelin, and Hammer throw.
Yikes! I'd hate to be the girl getting swung by the pigtails. Her head must have hurt afterwards.

[davekisman]

Trunchbull: Ah, fresh meat.
Me: She doesn't mean you, Matilda. So, move aside or you're next... if you didn't had psionic later in the movie.

2:09 when I was little I thought that was real

3:05 For a second I thought She would go after Matilda
