What’s happening in this Matilda movie clip?
Trunchbull visits the class to make Matilda confess. Matilda magically writes a message on the blackboard, pretending to be the vengeful soul of Magnus, who accuses Trunchbull of murdering him. Trunchbull attacks the students, but Matilda rescues them and she and the other students permanently force her out of the school.

What’s the movie Matilda about?
Young genius Matilda Wormwood (Mara Wilson from Mrs. Doubtfire) is regularly neglected and mistreated by her parents and her older brother. At school, she discovers the harsh punishments that Miss Trunchbull (Pamela Ferris), the tyrannical principal, inflicts on students, while her teacher, Miss Honey (Embeth Jean Davidtz), becomes attached to Matilda because of her intelligence. Honey demands that Matilda be promoted to a higher class, but Trunchbull refuses. Miss Honey tells the Wormwoods about their daughter's genius but they ignore her while Matilda discovers that her father, Harry (Danny De Vito from Batman Returns), is under FBI surveillance. Her parents refuse to believe her. Matilda exercises her telekinetic power by making objects fly in the house and thwarting FBI agents who threaten to put her in an orphanage. She goes to Trunchbull's house to try to scare her with her power, but the director discovers her presence. The next day, Matilda reveals her powers to Honey, but Trunchbull goes to the classroom to get Matilda to confess. Trunchbull ends up leaving school for good. The FBI having discovered enough evidence to bring Harry down, the Wormwoods must flee to Guam. They want to get Matilda back from Honey's house but she refuses to follow them and asks to be adopted by Honey. They eventually agree and Matilda lives happily with Honey, who then becomes the new director of Crunchem Hall.

*3:40** Trunchbull running towards Lavender like a bull is scary. Pam Ferris deserved an Oscar. She really looks like the original character in the book.*

[calebtorres]

I like how Matilda gave Magnus the last laugh from beyond the grave.
Props to Her

[guitarzan]

1:32 I love when Miss Honey tries to fight back a laugh... I get she's polite and kindhearted but I think she deserves a pass. 😂🤣

[chloemcglinchey]

1:09 See how Trunchbull is clutching her neck when the class read “I will get you like you got me”? I think that means that she strangled Magnus to death from behind and she remembered doing it which was why she had done that.

I love everything about this scene.

[amandacresswell]

This whole scene is absolutely hilarious and funny and "magical" and absolutely one of my favorites in Matilda.

[kitsuneofelements]

I liked how it was Ms. Honey’s idea to have the globe start spinning

[kezia-lemonthorne]

Can you imagine how would it be to hear a message from a ghost from your past read by a chorus of children? XD

[carolinebergin]

Ms Honey was always stronger than trunchbull. Despite everything she had gone through she was always still so kind, generous, and light hearted. Trunchbull thought she could get ahead in life by doing all those terrible things to everyone for her own gain. That makes her the weakest bull in the world.

[ELPJM]

In general Ms Trunchbull murdered her step brother for his money and house and made it appear like a suicide. It seems like she treated Miss Honey badly when she says “I broke your arm once I can do it again.” As a kid seeing this scene scared me because I thought it was really his ghost writing.

[c_king]

Between Trunchbull and Aunt Marge, Mrs. Ferris terrified me as a child and yet she is a wonderful lady IRL. Nothing like Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman, though, giving Ms. Mara a "home" and caring for her during and after her mother's illness, even Mr. DeVito dedicating Matilda to Ms. Mara's late mother..it was truly beautiful

[Freaky_Tarentino_Film_Student]

I love how Miss Honey finally stands up to Miss Trunchbull.
It's like the minute she found out that Matilda had powers she realized that she could be brave.

[wolfspawn]

I always laughed when the children gasped hearing she was "aunt Trunchbull"

[AldenRDavis]

“And the Trunchbull was gone. Never to be seen, or heard from, never to darken the doorway again.”

[JakeLlavore]

*4:39*
*I just love how Bruce Bogtrotter put that piece of Chocolate Cake onto Miss Trunchbull's

[VincenteIL]

Ah yes, Trunchbull's greatest fears: the ghostwriting of her step brother-in-law she murdered, and the laughter of children.

[archiediscovers]

Why does it seem like matilda is the best nostalgic movie

[chonkman]

i love how the children just think a chalk writing by itself and dusters flying around is just absolutely normal

[jordanezell]

I choose to believe Magnus’ ghost really did write that message. The erasers were Matilda’s doing, but someone else used the chalk.

[dorisbarkler]

Lavender is my absolute favorite kid in all cinematic history.

[CrizzyCross]

Lavender is so adorable. When Mrs Trunchbull charged at her I hollered "DONT YOU TOUCH HER" at the screen lmao
