The 1996 classic "Matilda" is one movie that's impossible to forget, even years after watching it. The story was emotionally immersive, the setting was solid, and as far as movie versions go, it did a decent job of bringing Roald Dahl's work to life. More importantly, the cast was impressively well-picked. Danny DeVito, who directed the movie and played Matilda's neglectful father, picked cast members who brought the story to life. Beyond their acting skills, they also looked the part in a way that did Dahl's story justice.

Matilda, played by Mara Wilson, with her hair in bangs styled with a red bow, was the perfect adorable neglected child. Her parents were dressed just as ridiculously as you'd expect, Ms. Trunchbull was every bit a visual nightmare, and Miss Honey was styled just as teacherly as the book version. Even minor characters like Bruce Bogtrotter, the chocolate cake kid, looked spot-on. Now, 30 years later, the cast of "Matilda" looks pretty different from what you might imagine.
