I'm not quite sure there is.

Matilda making the pancakes to 'Send Me On My Way' which isn't even one of the best scenes from the film is better than other children's movie scene.

It's excellent but it's no Labyrinth, Princess Bride or Beauty and the Beast/Lion King is it?

And yes. Yes it is

I remember being allowed a treat when I learned to tie my shoelaces and I got myself the DVD. So it's always been iconic for me.

Absolute best line of the film (his timing is perfect). And best character in the film, just FYI.
