Mara Wilson could be a Disney Villain with that laugh.

[@crypticmrchimes]

Oh please, she has become untouchable since the Faceless Old Woman who Secretly Lives in Your Home.

[@Picardsulu]

She scares me with that laugh!

[@delete--5563]

@@crypticmrchimes Nah I disagree with that lol tho though.

[@juju_426]

She already played a Disney villain and her name is Liv Amara

@@juju_426 I posted this comment 3 years ago! How was I supposed to know?! Lmao

[@HitsugiHime]

Mara Wilson got into acting because she wanted to. She got out of it because she wanted to. Now, she's a writer.

[@mutt9779]

I would imagine writing is the dream role for most actors once they make it big and have enough money to retire and live happy. Let's them take a step back, and if anyone else fucks up and the movie flops it's the actor/director/other writers/etc.'s faults, not to mention most people are just flat out sympathetic to the "translating one medium to the other always fails" thing.

[@filmfanaticx4212]

@@mutt9779 That's what Gene Hackman did for a couple years after he retired. He did two solo-effort novels (he already co-wrote 3 with Daniel Lenihan in 1999, 2004, and 2008). A western called Payback at Morning Peak (which I own) in 2011 and a cop thriller called Pursuit in 2013. Hope he decides to do another book. He's a good writer...

[@vincenthawthorne9360]

I mean she kind of still acts. Remember Helluva Boss? She voices the teacher from episode one.

[@spaomalley]

[@austinbaker8042]

OMG you reached out to Mara Wilson just to have her grill you with insult after insult and a buttload of embarrassing videos to boot. Dedication right there. *Stands and slow claps in awe*

[@LaughingOwlKiller]

Austin Baker Actually it was kind of mutual. Someone had sent her the review of Thomas the Tank Engine and all the stuff he said about her. She had a bad week apparently and let out a tirade against the critic..not realizing he was only a character. They wound up both contacting each other to explain and Doug asked if she would like to cameo. This led to her doing a couple of things wit Nostalgia Chick to since they apparently are far from each other in NYC.

[@BitterMillenial]

LaughingOwlKiller I'm glad she was willing to work with him on this one, her cameo is great here!

[@Vicieron]

LaughingOwlKiller this is actually beautiful. I like to believe Doug is a pretty cool guy. All of his reasons why he doesn't like something is usually backed by something logical and non personal. I'm glad they were able to do something productive out of this slight misunderstanding.

[@vizthex]

[@eamonclark4952]

Mara Wilson’s appearance in the end is the best part of the review

[@gftyhify]

I met Mara Wilson at a comic convention in Edinburgh last year. That was a magical moment for me. She was also flattered when I told her how much I wanted to met her

[@wrenpeach6707]

Mara Wilson as an adult has such an attractive voice. Also those braces were worth it because Doug's teeth are beautiful now.

[@JoakimOtamaa]

Not only an attractive voice but she grew up to be very fine looking lady imo.

[@ForrestFox626]

I know she isn't acting anymore, but I'd love to hear her do voice work.

[@rebeccalovitch8504]

[@PiraticalNonsense]

In Mara Wilson's defense, I still adore Matilda. Hell, my whole family loves Matilda. Looking back on it now, it's a bit cheesy, but it's a harmless movie and still has lots of charm in my book. That was Mara at her best, I think.

Is it just me or do you respect Doug more for criticizing his own Movies just like he criticizes everyone else? I think its really great of him to do that :)

[@linguicaguy]

+ter0revil I hate everything about that part, but only because it reminds me of all the stupid awkward things I used to do as a little stupid shit a.k.a. "child" that I just wanna forget about.

[@mariosonicguy2569]

true

[@NewhamMatt]

Doug has actually gone on record saying that he really dislikes Matilda, mentioning it in his "10 Movies I Hate but Everyone Else Loves" (he even spoke about it in his Shut Up and Talk interview with Mara Wilson). He planned to do a Nostalgia Critic review of it, and the fan backlash was so fierce that he actually cancelled it. It's the only NC review he has ever scheduled, announced and then backed down on.

[@bryanegelhoffsanimationtec257]

NewhamMatt That, and War of the Worlds old .v.s. new.

[@kahldrialeighsun1208]

I loved Matilda. I saw the movie a a year or two after reading the book, and though the book was my favorite I liked the movie too. It helped to see another little girl go through so much and find happiness. It was also cathartic to see her dispense some justice ...and who wasn't jealous by the end? I don't want to spoil it. Some good memories.

[@hulkfan97]

[@OmnicidalClown1992]

I'm kinda hoping the Nostalgia Critic will review Mathilda one day, with Mara Wilson doing a crossover with him.

[@KylieC1991]

Omnicidal Clown Nostalgia Chick talked about Matilda with Mara, so I don't know if Critic will do one.

[@millie8943]

That would be great!

[@Ronnoc713]

Omnicidal Clown He wont, he said that he thought about doing a review about it, but the backlash he got from the suggestion made him stay away from it. Check his top movies that he hates that everyone loves video. Its on there and he talks about it.

[@OmnicidalClown1992]

Ronnoc713 I know. I saw the video, but since he's done Signs and Moulin Rouge, both from that list, plus during his Top 10 movies/TV shows he'll never review, he never mentioned Mathilda.

[@EyeOfArgus]

Omnicidal Clown there's a video he uploaded once, where it's the top 10 movies he'll never do a NC review for, Matilda was on the list

[@Justmyhandle]

19:53- Wow, she's almost unrecognizable now. Surprising cameo though, and she still somehow has that certain charm that I found likable in her childhood roles. Mrs. Doubtfire is probably my favorite of her works. That scene with her doing jungle cat faces with Robin Williams gets me every time, plus the part where his makeup comes off after saving Pierce Brosnan and she goes "Daddy". The 1994 Miracle on 34th Street is a close second, as I also enjoyed her banter with Richard Attenborough (God rest him). Overall, Mara Wilson had more talent in my opinion than several child actors today, and she showed it mostly just by being herself :)

[@HashBrownia]

Him going “Yeah that’s right WHAT THE F@?&! AM I LOOKIN AT” has such a great delivery and I keep rewinding to that part

[@snakehands]

Modern day Mara Wilson has a great voice

[@BrendanJSmith]

God, I wish Mara Wilson made an acting comeback. She's still got it after all these years!

[@ajallen9674]

Actually, the dance scene does make a bit of sense. Its a reference to the "Red Shoes" where a woman is given enchanted shoes that force her to keep dancing until she dies of exhaustion. Pretty horrifying.

[@DilvaSplunner]

Oh the humanity!

[@djalexander7723]

Sweet jesus

[@leotamer5]

Yes, but the horrifying part of the red shoes is that she dances for hours, until she dies of exhaustion. Not that she had one short dance scene. Being a meat-puppet probably isn't a pleasant, but they didn't really convey it that well.

[@MythicSuns]

the whole "I love this mirror" scene didn't actually have any problems from what i can see, I think the critic might've missed the joke on that one. it relates to her character; basically she's saying she loves the mirror because it makes her look better which implies that she's really vane

[@missalii4792]

I also think it's another nod to Snow White, you know, her obsession with being the fairest of them all

[@Caramelflamel]

She is, clearly. I think you missed that.

[@anarky1765]

It's a classic example of a Chekhov's Gun: something that initially appears unimportant, only to become crucial to the plot later on. Examples include the Mershawn pipe in National Treasure, the cat's collar in Men in Black, and the coins in Larry's pocket in the second episode of Telltale's The Walking Dead.

[@karda009]

A big problem I had with NC videos before is how he always makes a big deal out of stuff that isn't a big deal.

[@MythicSuns]

***** some might argue that's a critics job

[@SailorYue]

The dancing isn't inconvenience, ever read the story of the red shoes? They're cursed to make you dance until you die. That's what was happening to Mara and Murray.

[@pansnemesis]

The mirror scene was showing her vanity

[@smallguy2412]

It's like me discussing my broken toaster and then staring at a wall and then saying "I hate this wall", it's just so naturel.

[@drksideofthewal]

"I love this mirror" as in "Because I'm (reflected) in it." I also thought that was pretty obvious. And then she's literally in it at the end.
