Most people are familiar with the 1996 Matilda film adaptation. However, there are many differences between the movie and Roald Dahl's book.
The 1996 Matilda film adaptation is beloved but differs from Roald Dahl's original book. Mara Wilson catapulted into the spotlight as Matilda Wormwood, working alongside Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman as Harry and Zinnia Wormwood. Wilson had previously gained recognition for her roles in Mrs. Doubtfire and the 1994 Miracle on 34th Street remake. However, most remember the actress as the strong-willed and intelligent character in the DeVito-directed comedy.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT 6 Matilda Is Younger In The Book In Dahl's story, Matilda is only 5 and a half. However, in the film, the character is 6 and a half. Dahl's story makes Matilda's intelligence even more impressive as she was only in Kindergarten with the knowledge of a middle schooler. Most Kindergarteners are still learning the alphabet and spending most of their time coloring in class.
4 The Movie Is Set in California Instead Of The UK Since Dahl himself is from the UK, it makes sense his story was set there too. The Matilda musical followed suit, both on stage and on screen. However, the 1996 adaptation took Dahl's story across the world to Los Angeles, California. The film was produced by United States production companies, so it makes sense it was set in the country. It was also directed by DeVito, who likely had a say in its location.
2 Matilda Never Went To Trunchbull's House In The Book A crucial scene in the 1996 Matilda film is when the main character sneaks into Miss Trunchbull's house. However, this never happened in Dahl's story. In the film, Matilda actually goes to the house twice. One time, she goes with Miss Honey after her teacher tells her the story of her childhood, and another time she sneaks in by herself.
