Matilda (Dir. Danny DeVito, 1996):
Unfortunately for Matilda her father
Harry (Danny DeVito) is a used car
salesman who bamboozles innocent
customers and her mother Zinnia (Rhea
Perlman) lives for bingo and soap
operas. Far from noticing what a special
child Matilda is, they barely notice her
at all! They bundle Matilda off to
Cruncham Hall, a bleak school where
students cower before the whip hand and
fist of a hulking monster, headmistress
Miss Trunchball (Pam Ferris).
But amid Crunchem's darkness, Matilda discovers remarkable skills - including a very special talent that allows her to turn the table on the wicked grown ups in her world!
Annie (Dir. John Huston, 1982): The irresistable orphan of comic-strip and box office fame comes to life in this acclaimed musical production.
Annie is the story of a plucky, red-haired girl who dreams of a life away outside her orphanage and its gin-soaked tyrant, Miss Hannigan (played to perfection by Carol Burnett). One day Annie meets the famous billionaire, "Daddy" Warbucks, and the pair share spectacular times in 1930s New York City. But Miss Hannigan and her zany, villainous colleagues are determined to spoil the fun for America's favourite orphan...
