Some time ago a remake of “Matilda” for Netflix. Although there have been no major updates, the original film remains an indelible memory for thousands of fans, despite the fact that this 2022 marks 26 years since its premiere. In that sense, a viral video on TikTok has shown behind the scenes of one of the most iconic scenes in the film.
You might believe that advanced technology was used to achieve the realistic effect. Nothing further from reality. That is to say, somewhat complex mechanisms were used, but the production did not resort to extras or dolls as one might think at first. This was evidenced by the following clip.

The post was made by the account @__detrasdecamaras, whose content focuses on sharing the ‘behind the scenes’ of famous titles. In this case, we see that for “Matilda” They used a system of pulleys and cables so that Amanda (played by Jacqueline Steiger) is suspended in the air, while ‘Tornchatoro‘ (Pam Ferris) was pulling on her braids.
The scene in question is when ‘Tronchatoro’, the dreaded director of the Apachúrralos elementary school, reviews her students and runs into Amanda. Miss Honey’s aunt scolds the girl because she is wearing a hairstyle that she does not allow at her school. Everything was going within the ‘normal’, until the little girl says “but”.
What follows is a hilarious sequence that everyone remembers: the woman grabs her student by the braids and begins to spin her through the air, before letting her go into a field of flowers next to the school.
