In 2022 December 25th Netflix released a new movie called Matilda the musical. Matilda the musical is an amazing recreation of the 1996 version.
Both movies have different details to make both movies different and amazing in different ways. Let me tell you about my thoughts and about the new matilda!
These are photos of scenes in the movie.
The new movie is about (Matilda Wormwood) a 6 and a half year old that is born with awful parents. Matilda’s parents (Harry and Zinnia Wormwood) realize they forgot to send Matilda to school. The same day they find a place that Matilda could go to, But during the interview Harry tries to lie his way out of the interview. After the interview Harry gets fired because he had never sent Matilda to school. Since Harry is upset he got fired, he rats Matilda out to the mean principle Miss Trunchbull. When Matilda starts school she meets her amazing teacher Miss Honey, But soon after she meets Miss Trunchbull. At the end all of the children stand up to Miss Trunchbull, and they make the school of their dreams (with Miss Honey). Right when Matilda makes friends, her parents plan to move away. But Matilda doesn’t feel ready to give up and leave her friends. Miss Honey offers to adopt Matilda, Harry and his wife approve then right after they start to move away leaving Matilda happy for one of the first times ever.
The scene when Matilda put stuff in her dads hair to make his hair green was my favorite scene! It was like the 1996 version but with a few different touches to it. Besides that other scene I also really liked the song that Matilda sang called “Naughty”. It is one of the reasons that the movie got more popular. Another scene I liked was when a little girl named Amanda Thripp had her hair in pigtails. Miss Trunchbull grabs Amanda by her pigtails, And she throws Amanda in the air making Amanda go flying into a garden.
My overall opinion is that Matilda is a good movie. I definitely recommend the movie for a random movie to watch. And the music is incredible. Although it is 2 hours long. If you want to watch a random movie one day I recommend Matilda!

Although the movie is very good there are some things I don’t like about the movie. There aren't many things that I am not a fan of though. Something I don’t like is when Miss Trunchbull makes a box with nails inside for all of Matilda’s class. In my opinion that part of the movie didn’t feel right.
