It's a Mara Wilson double feature today as we cover two 1990s classics, Mrs. Doubtfire and Matilda. Join us as we squee over tiny overalls and swoon over mixed plaids.Editor's note: JoJo's lovely kids were part of our recording session, and as a result there was a lot of background noise to be edited out. I ran it through a noise remover, and so at times she sounds a little over-processed and robotic, but trust me, it sounds better than it did! Thank you for your understanding.Matilda practical effects making-of videoFollow along with the visual analysis via these links!Mrs. Doubtfire: Instagram, Pinterest Matilda: Instagram, Pinterest Questions?
