As others have noted in the past, Danny DeVito not only directed Matilda (and played her dad), but he and Rhea Perlman (DeVitoโs wife at the time and Matildaโs mum in the movie) basically looked after Mara Wilson because Maraโs mother was in hospital with terminal cancer at the time of filming (She died during post production work, and it wasnโt until years later Mara discovered that Danny had taken an advanced (not quite
completed) copy of โMatildaโ to the hospital so that her mum could watch
it before she passed.)
When Mara mentioned that she was feeling nervous about the dancing to
โLittle Bitty Pretty Oneโ
sequence, it was DeVitoโs idea to have the ENTIRE cast and crew join in and dance too (off camera) so she wouldnโt feel self-conscious, apaprently even the craft services folks joined in, and the cameraman shooting the scene did a bit of a shuffle, but not too much because it would mess with the camera shot)

i think we should all collectively agree that the best part about being a dc stan is witnessing people’s reactions when they discover that there’s more than 1 robin
Sad how Simu Liu is literally promoting Shang-Chi on his own while Marvel is literally doing nothing compared to their other films. Like this movie is huge!! We have an Asian lead who’s a superhero, the majority of the CAST is Asian, AND ITS A LITERAL MARVEL MOVIE?? Where’s the interviews, where’s the merch promo, the different kind of fan posters—like doesn’t that seem a bit sus to ya’ll? Marvel’s doing the bare minimum with the promotion and it annoys the fuck out of me. And instead of constantly asking “whErE’S ThE nO wAY HoMe trAiLeR???” on EVERY fucking Marvel post why can’t some people just appreciate the current content that they’re releasing?🙄
