Red Hat Girl has been dancing through our minds non-stop.
of the schoolchildren tearing it up, dance-wise. That one really got Kane excited. “I’m not really fangirly, but I grew up with her,” she says. “It’s insane. That woman is a legend.” , “why is this Matilda Musical choreography EATING like this?” comes late in the movie after the youth of Crunchem Hall have defeated the evil Miss Trunchbull with help from the telekinetic powers of child-genius Matilda .
Kane knows Minchin’s musical tongue-twisters back and forward, having served as the associate choreographer on the West End and Broadway productions of the musical. But her history with the project made her hesitant to accept the gig for the movie, which she describes as a “totally different” beast. “Initially I was like, can I really reimagine this story? Because I’ve known it inside and out,” she says. “But screen gives you so many more opportunities.
Instead of using high-tech rotating corridors—one of the initial ideas they’d considered—Kane realized she could simulate the effect of children bouncing off the walls with moves borrowed from parkour, enlisting a parkour coordinator who works with children. Once settled on that concept, she had to work out the speed at which the dancers would travel the length of the school hallway, while making sure there was space for other performers to flip in the background.
In the totality of the “Revolting Children” sequence, which spills out onto the Crunchem playground, there are about 225 children, but it’s one that has grabbed the internet’s attention:the girl in the red beret, who plays the role of Hortensia. Hortensia, one of the older children at Crunchem, co-leads the song with Bruce , Matilda’s classmate and probably best known to Dahl fans as the boy who is forced to eat an entire chocolate cake as a punishment.
