Matilda (Special Edition)

Matilda is one of those timeless movies that never loses its charm. Based on Roald Dahl’s beloved book, it’s funny, magical, and full of heart. Mara Wilson is perfect as Matilda, and Danny DeVito not only stars but also directs the film brilliantly. The mix of humor, imagination, and a powerful message about kindness and courage makes this movie unforgettable. The Special Edition DVD is a great upgrade—it includes fun bonus features that kids enjoy, like behind-the-scenes extras and interviews, which add even more value. The picture and sound quality are clear, and it’s wonderful to have a physical copy for family movie nights. If you’re building a collection of family favorites, Matilda (Special Edition) is a must. It’s entertaining for both kids and adults, with lessons that still resonate today. Highly recommend!

I've had the DVD for years, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Purely an impossible fantasy, but great family fun, delightful. Re-watched it many times and always found it heart warming. I ordered this BluRay "Special Edition" because I've always found increased enjoyment of almost any standard definition dvd when viewed in high definition. I received the new BluRay disk today The greatly improved resolution, sound quality is there as expected. BUT! A great surprise was the added 'Special Edition' cast revisit, and reunion. This feature is worth the price of the disk alone! Easily! This type of thing is very often a 'so what' ... ho-hum. Not this one. So very enjoyable, I sat and ooo'd and aaah'd, and laughed hard all the way through. I always wonder throughout many movies about what happened to the actors, how they fared, later, after the movie was finished. This is an exceptionally well done 'check-in' with most of the Matilda cast. Years removed. If you enjoyed this movie, you will totally enjoy this great special feature. Mr Devito did an excellent job in bringing the cast together again. The scene 'replays', re-enactments, with cast members as they are now, reprising their original roles, are a real treat. Great fun all round. Thanks, Mr. Devito! Given her horrendous, vicious, monstrous role, very hard to believe Pam Ferris turns out to be a warm, very nice person!! Pleasure (and a relief!) to 'meet' the real you, Ms. Ferris!

such an amazing movie. still love it as much as i did as a kid

My family likes it. Reasonable priced, no problem with the DVD.

My toddler loves this movie. A movie about a smart little girl who loves to read. My daughter loves the magic that Matilda has. Perfect story for a little girl. It keeps my 3.5 attention and she sits through the whole movie.

Great movie

I have mixed feelings about this movie. On the one hand the brutality towards children by both parents and teachers is difficult to watch (even if it is fiction). The things that Matilda does to get even are humous, and in the end she finds a good person to live with. The acting was very good by the entire cast and other aspects of the film making and production were also very good.

Matilda has always been a fantastic movie to me and, despite some very obvious changes from the book, captures the spirit of Dahl perfectly. The characters of her parents and Miss Trunchbull are suitable antagonists, not valuing her precociousness and value she places on education or intelligence. As Matilda, Mara Wilson shows off her own precociousness and is absolutlely heavenly in the role. Danny Devito and Rhea Pearlman play despicable well. Some viewers have trouble with how evil these characters can be, especially Miss Trunchbull. I can speak to working at a movie theatre when this movie was out and parents walking out with their kids demanding a refeund. Well, the point of Dahl is overcoming really wretched adults, and this movie captures it beautifully, empowering Matilda to the end. However, be cautious with the young ones, as they might see it a little frightening. I think this is a good age 9/10 up movie. The blu-ray is a definite step up from the DVD, delivering a hi def presentation and FINALLY delivering the movie in widescreen. Avoid the budget DVD, as it is fullscreen. Extras are scarce, but the bluray has a new retrospective on the film. Not in depth, but nice nonetheless.

Excelente movie 🎥 Classic

El steelbook de Matilda es una edición muy bonita para coleccionistas de esta entrañable película. La calidad de imagen en Blu-ray luce muy bien y la presentación metálica es excelente. Un punto muy positivo es que conserva el doblaje original en español latino, algo que muchos fans valoramos por nostalgia.

I absolutely love this film.

Classic film,enough said.

Matilda es una niña superdotada en una familia de tarados...... Los malos son estúpidos, y los buenos son listos!! Qué bien!!
