Matilda Escapes The Chokey For A New 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray SteelBook Upgrade on September 5

Danny DeVito's 1996 family dramedy based on the book by Roald Dahl and starring Mara Wilson, Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman is coming to 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray in a limited edition SteelBook from Sony on September 5.

See the world from a kid's-eye view with MATILDA, a modern fairytale that mixes hilarious humor with the magical message of love. Mrs. Doubtfire's Mara Wilson stars as Matilda, a super-smart little girl who's woefully misunderstood by her parents (Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman), her brother, and an evil school principal. But with the help of a brave best friend and a wonderful teacher, Matilda discovers she doesn't have to get mad to get even.
