Matilda & Ms. Honey Sneak Into the Trunchbull’s House | Matilda

This movie is so special to me. The magic in Matilda wasn't her super powers but her inner strength. Everyone deserves a Ms. Honey in their life. They were the sweet light at the end of the tunnel. So precious it makes me cry.

The fact that the Trunchbull sits down for a slice of chocolate cake MID HOME INVASION. Iconic.

The acting, especially from the Trunchbull, is amazing. She was terrifying

[rogeliorufin]

Something great we have to appreciate is how Trunchbull isn't a dumb brute. Like, she's smart enough to understand someone took her chocolates, she can understand who scammed her and hoe much power she has over the children of the school. She isn't just some easily manipulated villain, she is a threat.

I like the way she says “whose in my house” and starts to stomp up the stairs. Also how just by noticing something small like the lid misplaced on the chocolate box and the smell right away she knows someone is there. Just a great movie overall, proud to be a 90s kid and growing up with these great movies.

Ms. Trunchbull jumping off the top of the stairs has always been my favourite part.

[SJMJ]

I just love how the first sign of anything suspicious was Trunchbull finding the chocolate box open. Miss Honey wasn't wrong when she said Trunchbull would notice very quickly.

Pam Ferris did amazing playing as Ms Trunchbell. She really put the emotion in the character and that’s what i love about it

6:08 *TALLY-HO!*

Pam Ferris was just a treasure in this movie 😂

[ladymallowyt]

"Whoever painted the Trunchbull had a strong stomach. A really strong stomach" Savage Matilda lmao

[examichelle]

I'm noticing until now how much Lissy doll resembles Matilda. It's like she took a human form to help miss Honey.

[KaminariRaiden]

The scene where she jumps of the staircase, iconic

[BM]

When I was a kid, this was terrifying. Now, as an adult, it still scares me, but the Trunchabull's exclamations always have me cracking up, laughing. "Crush the little weasel!"
and "I'm gonna take that no-good jalappa you sold me and shove it up your BAZOOKA!"

What blows my mind is that the overall duration of this scene only comes to just under 10 minutes. This whole entry-and-escape sequence felt like at least 30 watching it as a kid! Props to Danny DeVito, Pam Ferris & the rest of the team for bringing such a masterpiece to life !! Still gets my heart racing 25+ years on

[Shockzone]

This single-handedly has to be one of the most terrifying scenes in a non horror movie.


Who would have thought that only Danny DeVito could pull that off.

[chrisza]

“Come out and fight like a man!”

That was badass 😂

[SuperTed]

I forget how much the escape sequence scared the *living heck* out of me as a kid! Credit to Pam Ferris for deserving such menace to her character, as well as David Newman's music and Danny DeVito's direction.

[nerdynerd]

4:55 that music and the way Trunchbull marches up the stairs is always what gets my heart racing no matter how many times I’ve seen this movie lol

[heyarmyyounicekeepfighting]

If this traumatized you as a kid and still does to this day that means this movie did a great job this movie is Magic🌻

[stejent]

This film always impresses me with how mature it is. It may be a children’s film, but the way it handles is subject matter does so in a way that is not condescending, and assumes a great level of emotional intelligence in its audience.
It holds up now that I’m an adult too and I remember watching it with my mum too(who is no longer with me) and how she also enjoyed it.

This scene alone, should be an example to other film makers. It is intense and perfectly paced. The performances really blow me away. It will always be a favourite of mine and a prime example of how you shouldn’t condescend to children to give them an enjoyable film experience.
