Best! Love this song choice. Matilda/Books OTP. Now I'm going to have to reread this for the 1000th time. <3

[zulu]

Aww, this is wonderful! I loved the sense of Matilda's suppressed rage and hurt and how she came back from that. Loved the music too. :D

[kate]

Oh, lovely song choice, and a really beautiful story you told there. Matilda/books OTP, yes, I have to agree.

[mazily]

[thirdblindmouse]

I didn't even know this movie existed, but not only does it exist -- so does an amazing vid of it! ♥

[mermaid]

Oh, so utterly wonderful! I already loved both the book/movie and the song, so you had me at 'hello' - but I also adored how you arranged the clips, with the 'I can change' refrain matched up with the Miss Honey scenes. Just a delight :D

[zvi]

♥!!

[goodbyebird]

Awww this was lovely ♥

[franzeska]

LOL. That's a fun song choice!

[fan_eunice]

This is so lovely! <3

[sasha_feather]

This is really wonderful!! I love the song you picked and was completely absorbed by the vid.

[skygiants]

Amazing song choice, and great vid! I love the combination of Matilda's (totally deserved) sassy smugness and her actual heroic journey.

[actiaslunaris]

This made me choke up. What a beautiful, yet unflinching, look at this character and her strength.

[lola]

What a perfect, lovely vid. I'll repeat commenter number one; totally made me tear up. I've been reading Matilda to my daughter over and over recently, and this just gets right to the spirit of the character and the book, especially it being at the heart not only about Matilda triumphing but coming together with Miss Honey and creating her own family. Total love.

[toft]

Awww, this was delightful! She IS the coolest.

[lalaith]

Guah! This has just pressed all my emotional buttons. What a fantastic kid. What a fantastic vid.

[echan]

SO CUTE! The books, the pranks, the magic powers, such a fun vid. The summary is very accurate, badass indeed.
