Matilda

(TV-PG) (1996) Comedy, Family
Embeth Davidtz, Danny De Vito, Rhea Perlman, Mara Wilson

Based on the classic book by Roald Dahl, Matilda (brilliantly played by Wilson) is a curious, bright young girl who needs to escape her self-absorbed parents (De Vito and Perlman) and her monstrous school principal. Matilda discovers she has magical powers with the help of her schoolteacher (Davidtz), the only kind adult in her life. Fun for kids--and their parents!
