Matilda made reading look powerful and chocolate cake look terrifying. Stuck between awful parents and the nightmare that was Miss Trunchbull, Matilda figured out that being the smartest kid in the room could become an actual superpower. The movie has a weird, dark, mischievous streak that separates it from the shinier family movies in this bracket. That makes the matchups fun. Matilda versus Home Alone is two brilliant kids solving their own problems in very different ways. Matilda versus The Lion King is outsider weirdness against Disney royalty. Somewhere, a newt is already headed for someone's water glass. Choose carefully.
