Line 1:

* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: In the movie, one of the investigators assigned to go after Matilda's father is [[Pee
** And Matilda's dad is [[
** Bruce Bogtrotter, the cake eater, can be seen two years later in ''[[The Wedding Singer
** Miss Honey is the {{spoiler|recently widowed}} wife of Lane Pryce in ''[[Mad Men]]''
* [[Shout-Out]]:
** To other [[Roald Dahl]] works; Matilda accidentally refers to Charles Dickens as [[The BFG|"Dahl's Chickens"]] at first, and later she shares with Miss Honey that [[The Witches|"the heart of a mouse beats at the rate of 550 times a minute".]]
** There's also a direct shout-out to Dahl's family in Miss Honey's beloved "Liccy Doll" (pronounced "lissy"). One of the producers of the film is author Roald Dahl's widow, Liccy Dahl.
** It's ''very'' hard not to see the shot of Trunchbull snorting against the window as a direct reference to the raptor doing the same thing in the then-recent ''[[Jurassic Park]]'' movie.
** In the end of the movie, the Wormwoods, after giving up Matilda to be adopted by Ms. Honey, make their getaway to Guam. In another movie produced by Danny DeVito and staring him and his wife, Rhea Pearlman, ''[[The Ratings Game]]'', it has the wayward ship (with the Nielsen Ratings families on board) traveling to Guam. It also shows the Wormwoods' stupidity since Guam is a U.S. Territory. Needless to say, even if they made it to Guam, the Law still catches up to them.
