This version is obviously more for the Broadway fans. There’s too much color and unnecessary extra things added. Matilda talking to the librarian feels like an entirely different movie and it takes away the focus of her relationship with Miss Honey. None of the actors or songs stood out to me. A lot of the movie is too colorful as if it’s a Dr Seuss movie. It feels like it wants to be an entirely different movie while still trying to be Matilda.
