What’s so brilliant is that it relies on phonetics rather than actual spelling, which not only opens up so many more possibilities, but is also just really fun to see and listen to.
Really like the little changes they made for the transition to film on this song. For obvious reasons, the incredible stage choreography wouldn't have translated, so to introduce Hortensia as the jaded troublemaker who has no Fs left to give by singing the first run through as a sorrowful warning was a really nice touch. Fun Fact: in the making of the original musical, Hortensia had a bigger role, and a few songs and everything, but they cut that out because the musical was a _Matilda_ musical, not a _Hortensia_ one. (For those who have read the book, Hortensia is looked up to by Matilda and Lavender because she tries to be a rebel against the Trunch.) Nice to see them be able to bring back some of what Hortensia brings to the table in the translation to film. I don't know what gongs there are for choreographers, but the choreographer of this film needs to win all of them. This, Bruce, Revolting Children, even the Chokey Chant... the choreography is so, so good. It's so Dahlian... if Dahl was good at choreography, anyway. It almost feels like it could be a kind of seminal moment where people realise just how much you can do with kids in terms of choreography.
The original movie gives me such fond childhood memories, so I thought watching this as a 23 year-old would mean that no matter how hard they try, they could never beat it for me. I was wrong though. This film blew my fucking mind. The cast (especially the kids) put every since spark of energy in their bodies into being the best they could possibly be. The songs are fantastic as well. This one's really clever, Revolting Children slaps, and Naughty's great too. I really really loved it. Well done to everyone involved.
I used to watch it when I was little all the time too!! Because of medical reasons, I was in the hospital half my life, and in this specific one I went to most of the time, the TV didn't have cable, just pre downloaded movies, one of them being the OG matilda movie. Me and my mom used to watch it all the time, so we were ecstatic when the musical came out. This is one of the few renewed versions of movies that actually are almost better then the original
This was brilliantly filmed. All of them were putting in 100% energy,AND having full concentration AT ALL times,and knowing the full lyrics. Making telling Lavender and Matilda about school MUCH more exciting and fun,EVEN telling them fully about the dangers of the school. Walking,individually,past a classroom door,containing each letter of the alphabet,alongside using a FANTASTIC lyric containing that letter,relating to the dangers of the school,in which is a PERFECT head up to the 2 new students about the punishments,basically whole summary of it. Relief that lovely Miss Honey ascorted Matilda and Lavender into their classroom JUST in time,so that they didn't get into trouble with Miss Trunchball,which would NO WAY have been a good start to life at a new school. 10/10 here,this has to be one of the best songs i have EVER seen being filmed alright.❤❤❤
Have you noticed how here and in the cake song the dances seem too calculated, rigid, kinda military like. Then when Trunchbull was gone and they sang Revolting Children, the moves became more free and fun and crazier. They can finally let loose.
Matilda (1996) is my favorite childhood movie; when I heard of the musical, I expected it to be a disaster (not keen on musicals), but the lyrics are so well structured and these kids are so freaking good at their choreography, especially the prefects, the whole musical just blew my mind.
Due to Hortensia… slightly plus the prefects where quite like possessive as well! I don’t get how Hortensia (red beret girl) was so Oi NeW kIdS or YaY uR gOiNg In ThE cHoKeY and the 2 mins later “ok my time to shine, I definitely did not wear a red beret when it’s against the rules and I didn’t randomly just skipped class without being caught when there was a 5 second countdown” and I’m like GURL
@@jayd7669 yeah I do realize. like some lyrics and order of songs were changed, a few new song bits were added and the Russian bit was removed. Probably a good call
I'll admit. It took me a while to see this. I heard Matilda the "musical" and thought it was like that Pinocchio remake they made. My sister introduced it to me a week ago and ive been OBSESSED ever since. I LOVE broadways. I had no idea this is what this was. I also noticed some things! -The girl in the beginning has a broken arm. I only noticed it on my second playthrough -The way the Trunchbull reluves her moment every vhance she gets is a very nice touch. I love it so much. It definitely explains why she enjoys harassing and bullying children. It makes her relive her momwnt over and over again

For people who don’t get the R part. They speak in British (I think) accent. So when they said “asked”, The AS was said like R, because of their accent. Listen closely at these time stamps: 3:02 Did you hear they say R in asked? If you did, good job for listening close!
U guys might think Hortencia is mean and rude but she’s not! She is firm with the younger ones bcz she wants to protect them from getting hurt but she does it really bossily. Underneath it all, she really cares about their safety. When she said ‘the boy is doomed’ in that way it was simply to try and make sure the others didn’t get hurt. She said oi new kids she was a bit rude then Ig but she needed to get their attention to make sure they knew what the trunchbull was like so they knew how to stay out of trouble.
My favorite part is 2:13 because I wasn’t expecting the lyrics in the first verse to match up with the alphabet, but then the room letters made it very clear.

For some reason, when Trunchbull uses the commlink at 3:27, I first thought I was hearing the voice of Bertie Carvell, the original Trunchbull on both the West End and Broadway. Nope, turns out, it’s just Emma.
The nice thing about memorizing this song is that it’s hard to get the order of the lyrics wrong, since they have to match the order of the alphabet. XD
@@JayietheRiverWarrior try to remember just the special words. (A-ble B-eing C Trage-D etc.) First. Then learn the mid-lyrics. (The last part(AbcdefghijklmnopqrstuvYYYYYYYz)) hope this helped.
Please could you upload the WHOLE film? As it's SUCH a gem and deserves to be seen alright. Thanks. Also is one of the prefects singing here,Hortensia,from the original 1996 film version?
I love how the students aren't bullies, just uptight given the school they are in. Real nice twist to the cliche most School Movies have.
They’re prefects
@@tazdivil6527 Even then, they didn't portray them as someone in power who's abusing it. They are just as much a student as the rest

*"Why?"*

Physical Education - The Trunchbull speciality.
My favorite part of the entire movie.
Same
The same line in the original Broadway version.
Red Berret girl slays every seconds they’re in!!
You mean hortensia the red berret hat with an injured arm?
Do you think she is a leader
The more i see of this movie the better it seems, incorporating the letters into the song ... so good
"Oi, new kids"
*Accidentally makes a song*
Don't think it was on accident, more like on purpose. Probably planned. (this is a joke)
(accidentally puts the whole alphabet in it)

There's this thing called comma that looks like this *,*
And you can put it between "closets" and "school"
I'd rather go back to that "prison" than my current job.
Men, I hate people bitching about schools and professors these days.

So innocent, I asked a thousand questions But unless you want to suffer
Listen up and I will teach you
A thing or two
You listen here, my dear
You'll be punished so severely if you step out of line and if you cry it will be double
You should stay out of trouble and remember to be extremely careful
Why?
(Why!?)
Why? Didn't you hear what we said!?
I have become aware that some of you are not yet in class
Correct this, you have five seconds to comply
A, B, C, D, E, F, G (five)
H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P (four!)
Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X (three)
Y, Y, Y, Y, Y, Y, Y (two)
Lavender, Matilda, inside, quick!
(One) Just you wait for Phys-Ed

My mummy says I'm a miracle.
My daddy says I'm his special little guy.
I am a princess,
And I am a prince.
Mum says I'm an angel. So you think you're A-ble To survive this mess by B-ing A prince or a princess, you will soon C,
There's no escaping trage-D .
And E-ven If you put in heaps of F-ort,
You're just wasting ener-G,
'Cause your life as you know it is H-ent history.
I
Have suffered in this J-ail .
I've been trapped inside this K-ge for ages,
This living h-L,
But if I try I can rem-M-ber,
Back before my life had N-ded,
Before my happy days were O-ver,
Before I first heard the P-ling of the bell...
Like you I was Q-rious,
So innocent I R-sked a thousand questions,
But, unl-S you want to suffer,
Listen up and I will T-ch you a thing or two.
U, listen here, my dear,
You'll be punished so se-V-rely if you step out of line,

My daddy said I would be the teacher's pet.
School is really fun, according to my mum.
Dad says I would learn the alphabet.
The alphabet? You'd better learn to listen, kid!
A-B-C-D-E-F-G
H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P
Q-R-S-T-U-V-W-X
Y Just you wait for phy-Z!
Ah yes, the Broadway (Original) Version
I think the changes made do make it clearer on screen, but I do like the way the stage version intertwines this song with Miracle.
POV: u want to be the teachers pet having the ✨main character moment✨
-hortensia
🎼I have suffered in this jail🎼
Me:Being absent every day
Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely brilliant...!!
What a genius songggg 😮😮😮❤❤❤❤
Incorporating the letters into the visuals feels like something that should only be possible in an animated movie, but they pulled it off
Have you seen how the stage show did it?
For some reason, when Trunchbull uses the commlink at 3:27, I first thought I was hearing the voice of Bertie Carvell, the original Trunchbull on both the West End and Broadway. Nope, turns out, it’s just Emma.
I thought the same thing.
I like the way they used the alphabet
The way they walk beside the two girls

i need an instrumental version of this
I remember I watched Matilda a long time ago in school it’s great!❤
My favorite song❤
The most sweetest girl 💕😻
I want to remeber this whole song so bad
The nice thing about memorizing this song is that it’s hard to get the order of the lyrics wrong, since they have to match the order of the alphabet. XD
It's ez
@@JayietheRiverWarrior try to remember just the special words. (A-ble B-eing C Trage-D etc.) First. Then learn the mid-lyrics. (The last part(AbcdefghijklmnopqrstuvYYYYYYYz)) hope this helped.
@@AnimationCreationz even the number of Ys is right lmao
@@Hoooward XD. Didnt do it on purpose but gonna pretend I did
Nice performance
I❤️ Love Matilda the musical❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
If I had the passion long ago, I could have actually acted in this movie
You know that Matilda can be a really good Disney movie
