Slipcovers suck. All they do is collect dust, take up space on the shelf and get scuffed/tatty. Waste of cardboard, burn the lot of 'em I say.

Wonderful film from a wonderful book! Day one for sure!

[THGhost]

Any news on bonus features? A brand new commentary with DeVito and Wilson would be nice, but that probably won't happen.

I don't know about a commentary, but Mara Wilson has a facebook page for her writing, and she posted pictures of a full cast reunion including herself and DeVito, which she said was recorded for the Blu-Ray.

EDIT: I guess she has two facebook pages, one for her acting and one for her writing.

lol, I thought "Ishtar" was a contractual thing. SONY is most likely releasing "Matilda" to tie in with the current Broadway Musical hit Show, just like "Annie" was released last year to tie into the Broadway revival

I hope so too. This was great news to hear that they are planning to add new features onto the Blu-ray.

Cover art + extras.



Blu-ray bonus features include:

§ The all-new featurette filmed exclusively for the Blu-ray release:

o “Afternoon Tea, A Very Magical Matilda Reunion”



§ Four previously released featurettes:

o “Matilda’s Movie Magic!”

o “A Children’s Guide to Good Manners”

o “Escape to the Library”

o “My Movie About Making Matilda by Mara Wilson”

See the world through a kid’s-eye view when the modern fairytale MATILDA debuts for the first time on Blu-ray™ with Digital HD UltraViolet™ Dec. 3 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. The digitally re-mastered Blu-ray comes with the all-new featurette “Afternoon Tea, A Very Magical Matilda Reunion,” bringing the entire cast back together 17 years after the original filming of the movie. Shot exclusively for the Blu-ray, it captures the cast reliving the memories and magic of making the film during an afternoon tea party at director/star Danny DeVito’s private Beverly Hills home.



Based on the novel by Roald Dahl, MATILDA tells the story of a super-smart little girl (Mara Wilson) who’s woefully misunderstood by her parents (DeVito, Rhea Perlman), her brother, and an evil school principal (Pam Ferris). With the help of her telekinetic powers, along with a brave best friend and a wonderful teacher (Embeth Davidtz), Matilda discovers she doesn’t have to get mad to get even.



The Blu-ray also comes with four previously released featurettes exploring the film’s stunts and special effects with DeVito, lessons in etiquette humorously demonstrated with scenes from the film, a special reading by the book author’s daughter, and a peek behind the scenes through the eyes of a young star (Wilson).

Well, at least the extras look good and hopefully so is the transfer.

I watched the Prime HD version last week after seeing it mentioned in this thread - looked fabulous, so i'm expecting the BD to be great.

I love this movie and am so glad a widescreen version is available.
