I love how absolutely bonkers this song is. The goofiness of the parents, the babies singing, the Wormwoods being the worst parents of all time, the insane vocals on this snappily dressed doctor, and the incredible sets. It all works perfectly.
As Danny Devito said “Most parents believe their children are the most beautiful creatures ever to grace the planet. Others take a less emotional approach”. That’s what this whole song said perfectly.
Tha babies are soo cute but I just truly love the parents crooning over the kids more than the kids themselves. Its something so wholesome and cute. Parents are annoying with that “my kid’s the best” attitude, but honestly its so innocent and beautiful when theyre born. And that goddamn doctor had me cracking up. His voice is warm and that dance in that suit is so great! I love this song.
@@gregorbaby4269 Aww, thanks though I was talking about my twin sister and none of us have romantic partners yet. But we still want to raise a family someday.
Whoever directed/created this opening number is a genius. The transitions, the color scheme, the hallway shots, the camera rolling down the hall, the casting and wardrobe. UGH SO DAMN GOOD!!!
The point of this song according to the book: Most parents think of their child as the greatest thing ever, and that is perfectly normal, if annoying. Most parents will look at their child as a genius even after eating dirt. Annoying yes, but normal. But there are a few parents who do the opposite which is much worse than calling a brat a golden child. This is the case of the Wormwoods, who think of their extraordinary girl as nothing more than a scab.
I thought that'd be something that people could understand without explanation tbh. I don't think that you need to even relate it to the book, just the general world.
You’re missing a big chunk- every life IS a miracle. The musical has a line that says, “it’s a miracle of calculus, that there be so many and they still be miracle”
Yup, and I would wager that the writers turned that little text until this big of song and put is it right at the beginning so that parents wouldn't accuse the show of presenting all parents as horrible
That's why this version is 5 minutes, with only about 2 ½ minutes actual singing, yet it still features the full 5 mins in the audio soundtrack. Still an incredible opening number!
the line “and i will PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE!” is so funny for no reason, especially with the kid whos shown right there punching the other two the only other line that comes close to it is “with no sign of a winky-dink at all”
I think that the take where the baby punches his two brothers was just so sudden and funny enough that they had the kid who voiced him sing that line. They just had to come up with a line that can sync with what the baby was doing 😂 Obviously you can’t tell a baby to do the take again if he messed it up. It was just impeccably on point
Ok, I’m a huge Matilda fan. And the part when one guy goes “take another picture of our pumpkin from this angle over here” 0:34 I love it so much😍 I don’t know whyyy
The irony that out of all these parents so, so excited to meet their babies and just thinking their child is the most amazing in the world. The only two parents who DONT want a child end up winning the baby lottery with a genius super-powered baby that other parents would die for
The part where the Wormwoods sing "Why do bad things always happen to - Good People" sends me everytime. They're so dramatic and clearly not good people 😅
In the stage musical mrs Wormwood hated Matilda because she was going to take a plane to Paris to dance on a Salsa competition,but she missed that chance by having Matilda. This doesn't justify her terrible parenting,but makes it comprehensible and it mocks parents who hate their children by ruining their golden chances,like they had any fault.
1:34 The doctor's subtlest of eye movements is hilarious. It's also not something you could do onstage - you'd have to lower your whole head to stare so that the people in the back of the balcony could see you're doing it.
@@toastee5421 In the musical version she misses her salsa dancing championship because she has to give birth to matilda and there's also a number called "loud" that was also cut ill add links.
OKAY so no one gonna talk about that doctor? i love him omg. Also I really love the weird and surreal vibe this opening number gives because it really sets the tone of the entire movie (the babies singing and having weird facial expressions, the west anderson-y setting, the wack parents, the doctor literally having a concert in front of mrs wormwood giving birth, lmao i just love it)
I'm glad they removed the more mean spirited tone thst this song had in the musical. It's makes the emotions the emotions a lot more sincere and wholesome
I think the stylization here is very good! I'm glad they keep it up through the movie. It's very on-brand for a Matilda movie. Little sad they cut out big brother, Telly, and Loud though. It kinda makes the Wormwoods seem less interesting.
I agree, they added humor to the story and explained why the Wormwoods were so awful to Matilda. Plus Telly and Loud were my fav songs, both incredible show-stoppers!
In the stage musical it was “shoot you in the face” but you wouldn’t be able to pull off the visual pun with it. (Also kind of bummed that they didn’t keep the “It must be some modern miracle of calculus That such frequent miracles don’t render each one unmiraculous”, that part was such a good bit)
I just watched the musical and it was very good they have some parts that were in the movie in there and some that weren’t. It was very surprising to see music added in and the different ways they added certain concepts from the movie but overall it was very good and I do recommend
@Mei🎅🏽 If you like this you should check out the Groundhog Day musical. Minchin did the music for both and does an amazing job incorporating the source material into quirky and catchy music like this.
This is absolutely fantastic!! We live in a strange time when the value of human life is being denigrated as disposable and worthless. That a simple song proclaiming the miracle of human birth seems like an original breath of fresh air says a lot about how off balance our culture has become.
@@mollycblaeser Of course you are right. Procreation and parenting isn't for everyone. Not to be crass, but any human born with a penis is also born with an obsession to stick it into other people's vaginas (or other openings). Like a bee that lives to go from flower to flower, it is embedded in the DNA and no amount of shaming or guilt can compete with that.
Honestly, I'm kind of already like the parents in the song when it comes to my students (they are aged from 7 months to 6 years old, in two different classes), so with my own children, this will only increase (and I love that).
I loved see the kids with special needs in Miracle good job with inclusion as I’m special needs myself so it’s not very common to see people who have disabilities in shows or films growing up as a child but when I do see them being included in the films make me really happy.
While it was cute having the babies singing the beggining in this, there's something so poignant and obnoxious (in a good way) about kids singing it in the stage production, because the kids get it. The entire point of this number is that it's not only a direct contrast to the wormwoods and how they treat Matilda, but it also serves as a parallel to the first chapter in the book where Rohl Dahl goes into this whole stream of thought about how most parents think that their child is the greatest thing in the world, and some hold this sentiment even when the child is a brat.
I'd argue that it still works, honestly. The joke is just shifted from "look at these kinda bratty kids with large egos whose parents love them" to "guys... That really is just a baby"

He's great.
@@estelacastro2746 if he changed coats doing it out of nowhere, I'd wonder what was in the needle he put in my spine.

There is a bit of truth in those lines. Some parents don't know how luck they are to have kids while others may never know the joy of having them.

This movie is stellar. It gives me faith in children’s entertainment, especially compared to stuff like “We can be Heroes”.

Yes. We can be heroes is generally poorly made, and the message it has is clichéd and not well delivered

What a dear! You threw up, honey, look at mummy
Try not to vomit on your brother
Now smile for mummy, smile for mother
I think she blinked, well, takе another
Have you seen what he can do?
Is that unusual for day two?
Is smilin' еarly not a sign of an exceptional IQ?
She's just delightful, so intuitious and insightful
Might he be a little brighter than the norm?
I know to say it's frightful form
My mummy says, I'm a miracle
One look at my face, and it's plain to see
Ever since the day, doctor chopped the umbilical cord
It's been clear, there's no peer, for a miracle like me
My mummy says I'm a miracle
That I'm as tiny and as shiny as a mirrorball
You can be all cynical, but it's a truth empirical
There's never been a miracle, as factually, spectacularly
Actually miraculously
Fabulous, a miracle as me
A baby?
I'm not having a baby, what on earth gives you that idea?
I'm not listenin' to this, this is quackery
But, you're about to give birth
Are you out of your mind?
Mrs. Wormwood, you're having a contraction
I'm not having contractions!
Contractions are for pregnant woman, who are having babies
I'm having a stinkin' baby!
Every life, I bring into this world
Restores my faith in humankind (I'm not worried)
Each new-born life, a canvas yet unpainted
Their still unbroken skin
Their uncorrupted minds
Every life is unbelievably unlikely
The chances of existence, almost infinitely small
The most common thing, in life, is life
And yet, every single life
Every new life is a miracle (miracle)
What? A girl
What? You mean my son, is a girl?
I mean that your daughter, is a girl
Yeah, but the 'balloons', Doctor, I mean, the balloons, they say a boy
Mr. Wormwood, your wife has just given birth to a beautiful
Healthy, happy little girl, she's perfect
This is fantastic news
Why do bad things always happen to, good people?
Fine upstanding citizens, like, you and me
Why, when we've done nothing wrong
Should this disaster come along?
This horrible (miracle)
Weird looking (miracle)
Hairy, little stinky thing
With no sign of a winky-ding at all
Every life, is a miracle
Every life, is a miracle
Every life, is a miracle
My mummy says, I'm a miracle
One look at my face, and it's plain to see
Ever since the day, doctor chopped the umbilical cord
It's been clear, there's no peer, for a miracle, like me
My mummy says, I'm a miracle
That I'm as tiny and as shiny as a mirrorball
You can be all cynical, but it's a truth empirical
There's never been a miracle, a miracle as, a miracle as
My mummy says, I'm a lousy little worm
My daddy says, I'm a bore
My mummy says, I'm a jumped-up little germ
That kids like me, should be against the law
My daddy says, I should learn to shut my pie hole
No one likes a smart-mouthed girl like me
Mum says I'm a good case for population control
Dad says I should watch more, TV
3:54 i'm so suprised the kids were able to do this
The doc’s solo and the babies are the best thing. I don’t care about anything else
2:10 mother instincts kick in on mrs. Wormwood on that point
Mrs. Wormwood: *Suffering and in pain literally giving birth*
Doctors and nurses: *I'LL DANCE DANCE DANCE WITH MY HANDS HANDS HAND*
This movie is amazing. I love this!
