Roald Dahl’s Completely Revolting Recipes is a collection of 50 recipes from the author’s most popular books. Among them is a recipe for Bruce Bogtrotter’s Cake, which is based on the chocolate cake that he had to eat in Matilda. Miss Honey looked at the plain plump person with the smug suet-pudding face who was sitting across the room. “What did you say?” she asked. Danny DeVito is well-known for his TV and movie roles such as Taxi, Twins and L.A. Confidential, but he's also a director. Matilda was the fifth film that he directed, and was notable for being his first movie for children. Outside of Matilda, all of his other directorial efforts have been for adults.

Attentive viewers love catching the "mistakes" in movies, and one such error can be spotted in the scene where Miss. Trunchbull throws Amanda Thripp over the fence by her pigtails. When she gets thrown over the fence, her clothes are covered in mud, but in the scene that follows, Amanda’s clothes are clean again. Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers!

Pam Ferris played the role of the evil principal Agatha Trunchbull in the movie, and to make sure that the kids were scared of her in earnest, she would stay in character even when the cameras stopped filming.

Roald Dahl wrote most of his books from a small, cozy hut in his garden. The author would sit in his mother’s old armchair with a custom-made desktop in his lap, and he’d write with pencil on yellow legal paper. According to his daughter Lucy Dahl, his garden was a sacred space, and he saw the hut as his nest. In another "Easter Egg" for Dahl fans, the movie version of Matilda makes two separate references to his 1983 novel The Witches. The first reference is a visual nod where a copy of the book can be seen on a bookshelf. The second reference is a discussion between Miss Honey and Matilda about the speed of a mouse’s beating heart—the main character and his grandmother also discussed the subject in The Witches.

If you pay attention to the credits at the end of Matilda, you’ll notice that the three newts in the movie are credited as Mr. Speaker, Sir Isaac and Wayne. These names reference then Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, Sir Isaac Newton, and Wayne Newton. One of the lunchboxes from the movie contains a reference to Danny DeVito’s hometown. The slogan reads “Greeting from Ashbury Park, New Jersey,” which is where the actor was raised.
