For those complaining: it’s a film adaptation of the *stage production*. Not a remake of the 1996 movie

I actually was part of a theatrical performance of Matilda and I started screaming with joy seeing this

So excited! Love the movie, love the musical! People need to see how brilliant the stage adaptation is.

It amazes me the people who either don’t know there is already a musical based on the classic Roald Dahl novel and that this movie is based on that musical, or who think this is a remake of the 1996 Danny Devito film. The creator of the musical said that where as people who don’t know about the book are saying, “This is the musical based on that movie”, now with this movie people to say, “This is the movie based on that musical”. The musical is solely based on the book. The movie had no influence on the musical, as far as I know. So no, this is not a remake, this is just simply another adaptation, as both the movie and stage musical are both adaptations.

I am going to cry through this whole thing. Matilda was the last musical I did before the world shut down for a few years

I’m so so so happy they’re finally coming out with one with, well, music! The musical production is what I’ve been waiting for. I’ve watched the musical on yt before, but now that it’s gonna be a movie, I’m so happy!

I just watched it in the cinema and my inner child is healed. An outstanding film choreographed to perfection. Absolutely amazing!

We really enjoyed the musical production in London and now this version at the cinema. Every member of the cast were fantastic and I will definitely watch it again when it comes to Netflix.

Finally, a British adaption of Matilda, the American one was amazing but it's relaxing to finally see a version that relates more to the book.

As a British person I would like to say that the school is very accurate, students do randomly burst into song and also, this and the 1996 movie do show your average female head teacher.

i’m actually part of a youth theatre production of matilda, and i’m hoping to play miss honey, basing my part solely on this and the 1996 movie edition, she’s like my spirit teacher🤍

I can't wait to see this. I loved the movie and I love listening to the soundtrack to the musical. When I saw they were making this into a movie I didn't want to believe it. I am so excited!

The 1996 movie was one of my favorite movies when I was a little child. I'm also very excited for this adaptation😍
