An interesting point...
If this film had been made recently, many people would have rejected it, saying that is was paedophilic, i.e. the way Miss Honey takes Matilda home. I think it's interesting how people's views have changed.
In Britain nowadays, you aren't even allowed to video a primary school nativity play, because the government think that paedophiles might publish it on the internet. The fact that the children are fully clothed with teatowels on their heads doesn't seem to come into it.
