It stars Mara Wilson, DeVito, Rhea Perlman, Embeth Davidtz, and Pam Ferris.
The film revolves around an 8-year-old genius named Matilda, who possesses telekinesis, and uses it to deal with her parents who don't value education and Agatha Trunchbull, the oppressive leader of Crunchem Elementary Hall.
this was my favorite movie as a kid. cant believe it has been 20 years I think the girl who played matilda as she got older didn't like the industry and stopped acting after a few more films.
I had no idea it was that old. A classic
