Thanks to the producers and directors for being so inclusive with many black children. I’m a black woman and watching it with my daughter who said “she’s never seen this much black kids in a movie. I really appreciate you. 1:57

Emma is the perfect actor for trunchbull!

Emma Thompson is amazing at portraying her acting through prosthetics, look at her role as nanny Mcphee

My daughter had 4 or 5 favorite VHS tapes that were guaranteed to be seen on the old tv when her friends spent the night! Matilda was one of those favorites! I just loved it too! It brings back such happy memories of my daughter growing up!!

NOTHING beats the old one, but I confess that I'm looking forward to this release.

I still remember when I watched the first movie with my family. 😭 Back then I really thought I could also move objects with my mind if I tried lmao

[graciagenoso]

There are movies of Emma Thompson that I have watched: Like Nanny Mcphee, Beauty and the Beast as she played Mrs. Potts, Johnny English Strikes Again as she played the Prime Minister, Brave as she played Queen Elinor, etc.
She is very amazing actress!🥰💓❤‍🔥

This is the best Matilda I've ever seen and it is a good musical.

[OGAM_Visuals]

Emma Thompson as Tywin Lannister. Impeccable.

[_delroc]

This is Emma Thompson's world, she simply lets us live in it

[virlinehonore]

I just saw and loved it!! I used to read and watch Matilda a lot when I was younger and was excited to see this!!

[obiependragon]

The fact that when matilda first had a trailer that people thought maybe Pam Ferris was playing ms. Trunchbull again, that's when you know the makeup department is killing it❤️

[fugithegreat]

I put this movie on for my mother-in-law who has dementia. She often thinks that the people in the TV are real, and she left the room because the Trunchbull was too scary and she thought that she was after her. 😅

[andreasanchez]

I didn’t know Emma Thompson was cast as Trunchbull when I saw the credits I was floored. Stunning casting choice bravo!

[nipom-]

Original Matilda: we've used a prostetic to the tip of Trunchbull's nose, so it looks bigger.

New Matilda: oh, well, let's use a prostetic to cover all of Trunchbull's nose!

Jokes asside, it looks fantastic!

Crunchem Hall. Crunch em Hall. Crunch ‘em all. I get it now.

Matilda, I haven't heard this name in many, many years. I remember there was a song when was a little girl, that says waltzing Matilda.
