Roald Dahl's Matilda The Musical - Revolting Children Clip - Only In Cinemas Now

Matilda Wormwood (Alisha Weir) is a little girl with big curiosity, a sharp mind and a vivid imagination — and the worst parents in the world. While her parents (Stephen Graham and Andrea Riseborough) content themselves with trashy TV and dodgy money-making schemes, she loves to lose herself in the pages of her beloved books. Where they are loud, selfish and unkind she is a quiet observer, thinking up small and cheeky acts of rebellion and revenge.

On meeting her inspirational teacher, Miss Honey (Lashana Lynch), Matilda is encouraged and begins conjuring her own fantastical tales. Excited to attend Crunchem Hall, Matilda is surprised to find the school is an ominous and oppressive place led by the huge and villainous Miss Trunchbull (Emma Thompson).

As well as kind Miss Honey, the bright lights among the meanness are story-loving librarian, Mrs. Phelps (Sindhu Vee), and Matilda’s newfound school friends. Filled with an overwhelming sense of justice, Matilda dares to take a stand for what is right and teach Trunchbull a lesson she won’t forget.

Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical is an inspirational musical tale of an extraordinary girl who discovers her superpower and summons the remarkable courage, against all odds, to help others change their stories, whilst also taking charge of her own destiny. Standing up for what’s right, she’s met with miraculous results.

Directed by Tony Award-winning director Matthew Warchus (Matilda The Musical), the film is produced by Eric Fellner and Tim Bevan for Working Title, Jon Finn (Billy Elliot), and Luke Kelly of The Roald Dahl Story Company. Screenwriter Dennis Kelly adapts the Royal Shakespeare Company’s production for the big screen, with original music and lyrics by Tim Minchin.

Meesha Garbett with red beret absolutely killed it. She ate and left no crumbs.

[JJHell]

Whoever is the choreographer, hats off to them!! Amazing!! And the immense talent of these kids bodes well for the future!!!

[jazzguitar]

Jesus those kids! Do they take their morning coffee with Ecstasy? How are they this talented AND skilled? This is mind-blowing, honestly.

[ivantheincredible_]

That roll she did at the “we’re a little bit naughty” part is my favorite. Ties the whole hallway choreo part together!

[katherinejacko]

This is exactly how you make a movie musical!

[julieporter]

I love that they gave this song to Bruce and Hortensia giving the other kids besides Matilda a chance to shine.

[xmenlover]

Okay, Hortensia is clearly gonna steal whatever scene she is featured in. Fierce moves and big energy from her and I'm loving it. Her and Bruce leading the revolt is pretty awesome. And the energy that these kids are bringing is insane! 26 more days everyone (except for the UK, lucky ducks!)!

[sydvicious]

They need to add a choreographer section to the Academy Awards. This clip is more evidence of that fact.

[bekindandmerciful]

I didn't think this version could beat the Dani Davito 90s film, Boy was I wrong! This is a classic! Everything from the music, sets and cast was on point!

[jonosorio]

The eye roll during " a little bit naught". I want to be like girl you don't have to go so hard.

[Dtuba]

Can we appreciate the fact that studios are going oh wait let’s just put the actual musical to film and give it a big budget instead of trying to remake them! So far we have had so many good musicals to film lately dear even Hansen, Matilda, in the heights ! I can’t wait to see what’s next

[lowkeyobsessedngl]

... these kids have more swagger than any of us will ever have in our lifetime. holy crap

[PringlesOfficial_]

0:11 idk why but this part sends me 😭 i think its the way he’s hunched over idk

[gottahurtthealbertosaurus]

Meesha Garbett as Hortensia had such great screen presence for a character who had only about 10 minutes of screentime (If that), she's easily my favorite character of the movie alongside Emma Thompson as Trunchbull.

Lyrics (From this bit): Everyone: We can S-P-L how we like! If enough of us are wrong, wrong is right! Everyone! N-O-R-T- Why? 'Cause we're a little bit naughty! You say we ought to stay inside the line but if we disobey at the...
Bruce (Amplified ) and Everyone: Same time!
Everyone (Bruce, normal Volume): There is nothing the Trunchbull can do!
Girl (IDK her name) and Bruce: She can take her hammer, and S-H-U...
Everyone: You thought we were weak but we're strong! You thought we'd break but your wrong! 'Cause you've finally pushed us too far! 'Cause there's no going back cause we are...
Everyone: R-E-V-O-L-T-I-N
Bruce: Revolting Times!
Everyone: We'll S-I-N-G
Bruce: Songs!
Everyone: U-S-I-N-G
Bruce: Rhymes!
Everyone: We'll be R-E-V-O-L-T-I-N-G! IT IS 2-L-8-4-U WE ARE R-EVOLTING!
(Edit: I spend a canny 10 minutes on lining this up)
