Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical | Official Trailer | Netflix 

its a musical

I didn't even realize it was her, she's amazing in almost everything she does

I also actually don't mind they went with the different approach and made ms honey black. Now sure I would have loved it if they went they original way the book was wrote but I still like this change

Wow she’s playing another villain? I mean she was great in Cruella so I’m very interested for this one.

Yes❤

That’s Emma Thompson

Emma Thompson one of the greatest actor i love her

That would be Dame Emma Thompson.

The wonderful Oscar-winning Emma Thompson. ❤️ She’s also Nanny McPhee, Captain Amelia from Treasure Planet, and Professor Trelawney from Harry Potter. ^-^

It's Emma Thompson

they didn't keep all the songs, they got rid of 2 of mys honey's, loud (and rudolpho isnt here at all) and telly (michael isnt here either) and got rid of bruce's parts in when i grow up

I’m not drawn to film adaptations often. But this has changed in the last two years with the Prom, In The Heights, West Side Story, Tick Tick Boom and 13

YES! So many movie adaptations of stage musicals are adapted by people who don't understand or like theater and then the movies are like they're trying to make them less of a musical so they're more palatable to people who aren't already into theater, alienating both demographics in the process

@@manuelorozco7760 such good examples! In the Heights was such a beautifully done film, the remake of West Side Story (with actual Hispanic actors in it) was incredible. I love when a movie musical has the same magical level of performance quality to it as the stage shows they’re often adapted from. Nothing quite matches live theatre, but they’re definitely getting the idea that movie musicals are best made for people who love musicals, rather than watering them down to try to pull in people who don’t.

@@andreaxxxedge Thank you! I wasn’t a fan of 13 though. And I skipped Dear Evan Hansen because the stage version was good enough for me and the Pandemic didn’t make its release last year to be the right place and time. Before I saw Wicked live, I was already into the movie versions of the King & I and the Sound of Music.

That’s literally how it always goes

💯

Right? We watched this last night (and LOVED it BTW) and my kids couldn't believe it when I told them Miss Trunchbull was the same actor who played Professor Trelawney.

Omg, Emma Thompson is Miss Trunchbull.

Of course she's brilliant ! she's a 2 time academy award winner !!

Actress NOT Actor. Actor is a reference to male where Actress is referring to female. When you dining, you wouldn't call a waitress by saying "waiter", because 'WAITRESS' implies a female server. Proper English is important 👌

I'm glad they have a black actress to play Miss honey black lives matter people Trump should be impeached

Well, 'Revolting Rhymes' ended up on the front cover of one :P

I’ve never seen it on stage either and I’ve only seen the 90’s movie once. But I’m open to a new take

Looks so much better then the Broadway version

Hook might not be the best comparison because that's more like a sequel to the book than an adaption of the book.

@@QuibbleTrouble Good point, I've never watched Hook so I assumed it was an alternate-universe adaptation rather than a sequel.

@@RavenStarMedia It's a great movie, would highly recommend giving it a watch.

Yeah I’m not sure how I feel about this one, I watched the 90’s one so many times, change is hard. 😂

I saw a local youth theatre production of Matilda, and "When I Grow Up" saw the children bringing mirror frames onstage, singing into the mirrors (facing the audience). Then, completely out of the blue, they turned the mirrors and stood in profile to the audience, and the adults from the production team (who were otherwise not part of the cast) came on to be their reflections as they imagined themselves as grown-ups. I knew many of these kids and adults, and the real-life relationships they had. Seeing how they were paired off genuinely brought tears to my eyes in an instant. I would love to see something like this in the movie; I think it would work very well.

@@TheatreJosh24601 that's an incredibly clever way to incorporate the adult school kid actors into the song

@@TheatreJosh24601 wow that’s actually such a cool interpretation of the song!

I can not WAIT to hear school song!!

@nothing. Hmm, are you thinking of "Revolting Children", per chance? There's a separate song called "School Song" that uses the alphabet really creatively throughout its lyrics! Both are great songs, though!

Same

that girl had good taste

Yesss

Same

Sorry for your loss

@@manuelorozco7760 thank you. I miss here everyday.

@@j.r.taylor1997 No one deserves to suffer loss at the most wonderful time of the year

I'm so sorry for your loss🙏💗🕊️

It was a sign she was watching it with you

damn you love matilda

I'm glad they have a black actress to play Miss honey black lives matter movement I wish they had more black characters in every movie in every culture in every life

@@brightmacsworld8353 and ngl she makes Ms. Honey double the wholesome we got in the book

You damn of right

I saw this in the limited release here in the U.S. I couldn’t agree more. The songs, the emotional scenes….I was crying in theaters and I heard other people around me crying too 🥲

For me it's the School Song and in the clip I saw they absolutely killed it.

I'm excited to see this too :) what's your favourite musical?

I'm glad they have a black actress to play Miss honey black lives matter people everywhere like blackness black actresses everywhere everything

I’ve only heard bits of it. Particularly Naughty

Go listen to "When I Grow Up." It makes me cry every time I hear it.

@@amandafrazier9724 it had the same effect on me when I was in the theatre in London. It made me feel like a kid again. I love Tim Minchin.

“Quiet” has made me ugly sob before

You'll love them!

Same

I'm glad they have a black actress to play Miss honey black lives matter I hope they spread black actors everywhere everywhere

It's not the first time it's been a musical! It was actually on Broadway a while back.

Yeah and Mara Wilson actually saw that musical

It was a hit Broadway musical probably about 10 years ago.

There was actually a girl at my dance studio that was in the ensemble on Broadway for like 6 months

You know the musical has existed for 12 years and has been highly successful on Broadway and the west end ? Won tons is awards including 7 Olivier awards and 7 Tony’s, it’s grossed $198,165,852 just in the US and is played worldwide… hardly a concept

just watched it and it made me cry!

Which actress? I would like to see it.

yes it was a west end broadway show, and it had one in NYC for sometime

This is that musical being adapted as a movie, but yeah.

I only saw it once when I was 21

I had a foster parent who was just like the Trunchbull. She even tried to financially control me as an adult like Miss Honey.

Trump should have been impeached Trump should have been impeached I'm glad they have a black actress to play Miss honey black lives matter black lives matter black lives matter

The ending song is still holding my hand

no she isn't miss honey is white.

She looks sweet and wonderful as Miss Honey should be.

@@dadon6055 For the record, so was Lavender in the book but who cares? Lashana Lynch can clearly play the part. Spoilers just in case: And before you ask in the musical, Trunchbull is Miss Honey's stepsister so they don't have to biologically be the same race. Not to mention biracial and multiracial biological siblings are common. Even identical twins with the same parents of two different ethnicities and skin color can be born with one having a fairer pigmentation and one having darker.)

@@julieporter7805 I grew up with the book.. first they change the witches characters to a black kid and his black grandmother now miss honey is black.. sorry but Roald Dahl was white and he wrote about white characters because he was white.. imagine if we took some black author and changed all his characters to white people and made it into a movie.. it's just not right.. respect the source material it's getting ridiculous maybe black people need to write more books or something so you don't have to steal white peoples ideas and change the characters to be more inclusive..even the little mermaid... written by a dude in very white Denmark is now a black character.. just stop it..please stop it. If we did this to black characters and changed them too white I would be equally pissed off I grew up with these stories I want to enjoy them as they were.. make new stories if you want black characters.

@@dadon6055 when we do y'all still get mad so you might as well cry about it because it's happening.

loud was unfortunately cut they massively shrunk mr. & ms. wormwood roles because of time

@@denman2991 Are- are you serious? Dude that makes me so sad. That song was needed in there. However, the entire plot line with Mrs Wormwoods Zumba guy or whatever was really stupid so. You win some you lose some

Why don’t you watch the Sound of Music?

@@manuelorozco7760 she would if she wants to

@@AnsophOfficial Okay

I cried at the last song they sang .. yk when malthilda and that good teacher just be saying singing the song together

super film, super acting

I cried 5 whole times
