What are the differences between the original Matilda and the Netflix music version

Netflix He threw the new production Matilda: The Musical on Christmas Eve and in just a few days, it was enough to climb positions and become the second film in the world.

The feature film was based on the Broadway musical and classic book written by Roald Dahl, whose first film was released in 1996 under the direction of Danny DeVito and starred Mara Wilson.

Differences between Matilda and Matilda: The Musical

• In the glamorous 90s film, Matilda had a brother named Michael, with whom she didn’t have a good relationship and in the new version she is an only child.
• In the original film, the mother plays a big role, as the little girl spends a lot of time with her family, albeit uncomfortable, due to their bad relationship. In 2022, her mother goes unnoticed. Indeed, the producers have taken care of editing the film so that only Matilda is the only protagonist of the story.
• The library was a fundamental space for the little girl in the 90s, as she hid there for hours reading the literary sagas of Charles Dickens. Instead, the young woman of the 21st century often visits a mobile bookstore within walking distance of her school.

Synopsis of Matilda

The first revolves around Matilda Wormwood, a girl with a brilliant mind and absolute imagination, often mistreated by her parents. While they spend their lives watching television and studying strategies to fill themselves with money, the young woman likes to read books and study. Upon meeting Miss Honey, Matilda is encouraged and begins writing her stories. However, director Tronchatoro turns the space into an evil place.

The musical creates a magical atmosphere full of choreography and music, turning the second film into an incredible dream, even if the director also appears and changes everything completely.
