Danny DeVito touches on the viewpoint of children - and their imaginations - in this fantasy come to life: MATILDA. Who of us as children didn't see the world in the powerful images of youthful, innocent eyes?

An adaptation of the Tony and Olivier award-winning musical. Matilda tells the story of an extraordinary girl who, armed with a sharp mind and a vivid imagination, dares to take a stand to change her story with miraculous results.
'Matilda' is a classic kids film with a fun story and some ridiculously over-the-top characters. I can't help but find this film hugely enjoyable and would recommend it to people of all ages with a good sense of humour!
