Description

She is wearing glasses in the book, but she did not usually wear glasses in the film: only once, when she multiplied 13x379 which she asked the class as a joke, but Matilda answered it.

In 1988, the book Matilda won the Children’s Book Award from the Federation of Children’s Books. The award is voted on by actual children, and is awarded every year in the UK to the books the kids choose as their favorites. Ten years later, the book was voted “The Nation’s Favorite book” in England in a Bookworm poll conducted by the BBC. Craig Lamar Taylor is known for his role as wheelchair-bound Stevie on the popular sitcom Malcom in the Middle. The actor made his big screen debut in Matilda, playing the little boy who catches the falling newt. If you pay attention to the credits at the end of Matilda, you’ll notice that the three newts in the movie are credited as Mr. Speaker, Sir Isaac and Wayne. These names reference then Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, Sir Isaac Newton, and Wayne Newton.

Harry Wormwood and Miss Trunchbull both use the word "twit" several times throughout the film. Some fans have speculated that this might have been a reference to The Twits—another book by Roald Dahl.

In the movie version of Matilda, the portrait of Miss Honey’s father is really a picture of the Roald Dahl himelf. Dahl died in 1990 just two years after the release of the book, and the painting was included as a tribute to him. Rhea Perlman and Danny DeVito played Matilda’s parents in the movie, and Perlman was also DeVito’s wife at the time. The couple briefly separated in 2012 after about 35 years of marriage, but later reconciled. In late 2016, they split again, this time for good, but the two remain friends. One of the lunchboxes from the movie contains a reference to Danny DeVito’s hometown. The slogan reads “Greeting from Ashbury Park, New Jersey,” which is where the actor was raised.Pam Ferris played the role of the evil principal Agatha Trunchbull in the movie, and to make sure that the kids were scared of her in earnest, she would stay in character even when the cameras stopped filming. Mrs. Trunchbull never hesitated to give out the worst punishments imaginable, but even she seemed to have a place where she drew the line. In her office is a sign that reads “Thou Shalt Not Kill,” suggesting that murder is the one punishment even she won’t dole out. Good to know.

According to Lucy, one of Dahl's biggest fears was that books would eventually disappear, and he wanted to write a story about his love of books. Lucy Dahl also stated that this fear made Matilda one of his most difficult books to write. In addition to being adapted into a movie, Matilda has also been adapted into a popular stage musical. The musical version of Matilda opened in London’s West End in 2011, and on Broadway in 2013. The musical won 12 Olivier Awards, including Best New Musical, and five Tony Awards, including Best Book of a Musical.

Danny DeVito is well-known for his TV and movie roles such as Taxi, Twins and L.A. Confidential, but he's also a director. Matilda was the fifth film that he directed, and was notable for being his first movie for children. Outside of Matilda, all of his other directorial efforts have been for adults.

The “chokey” in Crunchem Hall was where Miss Trunchbull put kids for punishment. As terrifying as it looked in the movie, in real life, it wasn’t dangerous or scary at all. The fictional cupboard was filled with razor-sharp nails, but for the film the nails were actually made of rubber, and wouldn’t hurt anybody. In the novel, Miss Honey wears glasses, but not in the film (except in one minor instance when she was trying to solve Matilda's math problem of 13 times 379). Mara Wilson has scarcely been seen on screen since Matilda. She cites her mother’s death as the reason, explaining that once she was gone, she simply lost interest in acting. In 2016, she published a book called Where Am I Now? True Stories of Girlhood and Accidental Fame, which outlines her experiences as a child actress.
