this is somewhat true, but the message isn’t meant to be that she’s telepathic or can see the past… the story matilda creates is a reflection of her own childhood trauma, so when it turns out to actually be miss honey’s story, it proves how linked their lives are.

Despite the material, I think Mark Rylance was brilliant in the role of the BFG. You can tell he had a sincere passion for what he was doing, and tried to read each line with as much heart as he could. I also think that, despite the writing and direction, he has a great range as the giant too, going from sad and vulnerable one second, to adorably happy and even rageful next. Not to mention, the motion capture is one of the best mo cap preformances I have ever seen. Sure, Mark is not exactly Josh Brolin, but damn, he understood how to make this character.

Something I wanna add about the 2020 Witches is that there was some controversy over the witches design, specifically their hands. A lot of people accused the film of painting those who may have ectrodactyly (a condition that causes the absence of one or more of the persons fingers or toes) or any missing limbs as monsters or freaks

I think would be cool if we got a Muppets movie of Charlie and the chocolate factory with Kermit, the frog playing character Willy, Wonka and his nephew, Robben played the character of Charlie bucket and Rizzo, the rat and gonzo playing the characters of the singing Oompa-Loompas maybe someday Disney make animated 2-D, cartoon movie of Roald, Dahl’s, the witches how cool would it be in a live action prequel roald Dahl s movie, the witches with the movie, Falloween, the Grandma as a child, and then see her as a teenager, and then a young adult find out all the stuff about the witches and wait stop them that could be a live action movie

Same, watched both and Tim Burton's one felt more like the book than the first one. There's a reason Roald Dahl hated it, and basically banned film makes from adapting his books for so long, and is was Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Was surprised that the adaption of Danny, the Champion of the World wasn't mentioned anywhere, everyone seems to forget about it.

@t0adstoolll 4 ай бұрын

I agree completely. The 1971 release had so much potential, they even had Dahl write the screenplay originally. As Dahl was a perfectionist he ended up taking a while to make sure the movie would live up to his creative expectations. But the director eventually took his script and kinda ripped it apart, having a different writing team finish it. When the movie was released they even credited Dahl as one of the screenplay writers even though it was nothing like the script he drafted. As for the 2005 release, I think Tim burton was the perfect director. Ive always felt that kind of eerie/cheery feeling from Dahl books, and Burton tried to capture that with the settings and characters and everything. Tim Burton is a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to the details in his movies as well, so I feel like it put more respect to Dahl than the 71 release.

The kids in the 2005 version were terrible actors. Especially Veruca. She could barely emote, and Veruca was supposed to be a character you should lothe. The Veruca in the classic was so dislikeable that you actually didn't care if she died after falling down the chute.

@@SirIkeMedia yes, but the kids felt more realistically bratty. The kids in the 71 film are just one-note and annoying. Especially Veruca, who just whined all the time.

Mike and Violet in the 2005 version are also far improvements over their 1971 versions.

As someone who's local theater company performed Matilda the Musical, I absolutely hated the film version of it. My favorite show that I performed in was Matilda, I was Bruce. It's probably because I set my expectations way to high for the film. The changes in the songs, although minor, made me dislike it. I have to give it to the principal actors, they did an amazing job, but the supporting characters weren't that good. It's like they were along for the ride like a barnical on the side of a ship.

The BFG (2016) & The Witches (2020) aren't movies I hate, but I will admit they are heavily flawed.

I can't say I agree with your Top 5, but it was at least a fun watch. I can't decide is my #1 is Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory or Matilda (the original, not the musical), followed up by James and Giant Peach, and then The BFG (1989 of course). I will admit that the 1990 version of The Witches is a well made movie, but it is also the only movie that gave me nightmares as a child, so I can't say I actually like it. Matilda the Musical is wonderful, but the only thing better about it than the original is the fact that it is a musical. Otherwise, it adds too much to the story that is just not necessary at all, and the acting isn't as good. Also, the removal of her brother as a character just makes zero sense, and actually takes away from the fact that her parents dislike HER, not just children in general. And I haven't seen Wonka yet, but I AM looking forward to it, very much.

I like both Matilda I don't think they should be compared because both give a different view on the same story. I kinda get annoyed when people say the musical is not that great because the children are talking about how they're going to be bad. Like I have said in many comments section it's not that the children are saying they are going to be bad; what they are really doing is taking every bad thing the villain has said about them and using it in a way to celebrate in my opinion saying they are now free to be children so they are going to act like children instead of robots/soldiers.

I actually agree with you as I absolutely loved Wonka. Especially the best part was spotting all the references and Easter eggs to the original movie.

I think Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is the best.

I like the devito matilda. I might have to watch the new one I thought it would be bad but seeing as you like it so much I should give it a chance.

The 1994 Matilda, 1989 BFG and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory are deffo my favs. I grew up with those ones playing in the house. The Wes Anderson Fantastic Mr. Fox is also brilliant - I've yet to see Wonka, but I have been listening to the soundtrack (Sweet Tooth is my fav and deffo too short)

Fantastic Mr. Fox Is one of the greatest movies of all time. Wes Anderson is a master of his work when it involves such loveable and relatable characters

Whenever I see the Tom and Jerry Willy Wonka film, it has this uncanny feeling of being AI generated (with the weird faces and the almost-too-accurate scene-for-scene recreation)

13:11 That one shouldn’t count! That one doesn’t count! You can’t include a film that doesn’t exist except in our collective fever dreams 😭 NGL, Wonka at number 1 really surprised me

I’ve seen the Wonka (2023) film at cinemas today and I love it ❤❤❤

WOW, you scraped the bottom of the barrell for this video to exist. I'm more familiar with the theatrical offerings, with the only TV efforts being from 1989 to 2016.
