Fun fact: the original script had Daniel and Miranda get back together, and both Sally Field and Robin both agreed that was the wrong ending as it would give kids with divorced parents false hope. They made a pact to only accept the roles if the ending was changed to Daniel and Miranda stay separated but agree to stop fighting and continue to raise their children together.

"So what do you want me to do, pretend everything's alright, put on a happy face, smile?" That part breaks my heart every time. RIP Robin.

What’s truly heartbreaking about this scene is when he says; “So what d’you want me to do? Pretend everything’s alright? Put on a happy face? Smile?” I honestly wonder how many times Robin Williams looked in the mirror and said something similar. Depression is very real and truly awful. Never forget, it’s good to talk.

MIRANDA: Daniel, the kids need you. DANIEL: I need them.

In this scene, Daniel and Miranda's positions are very important. The backgrounds behind them is supposed symbolize where they are at this point. Miranda's background is the lit up house set showing that's she's living in a full, bright, household with the kids. Daniel's background is the empty dark studio showing that he's living in empty, gloomy world without access to his kids and is lonely.

1:38 When he says "Ah, you ripped my heart out! Will you come back to do it again?", it gives me the shivers. His delivery is so believable.

Remember, it wasn't just the fact that he dressed up as Mrs. Doubtfire that Miranda recanted. It was because as Mrs. Doubtfire, Daniel proved himself to be a responsible parent. I thought that was the best part about this whole movie.

This scene always gets me everytime. Whilst people argue that Miranda should have just let Daniel see the children in the first place, unfortunately in real life, it's not always that straightforward (coming from somebody with divorced parents, believe me I know). However, what I like about Mrs Doubtfire, is that ultimately, whilst Daniel and Miranda don't get back together, they both eventually realise that they were both in the wrong and have to learn how to get on and be civil for the sake of the children. So sad that Robin Williams is no longer with us...R.I.P Robin, fly high!!

Dear Robin Williams, I can't believe it's been 7 years already since your passing. It's 2021. Wherever you are may you be at peace and be healing from the wounds of this life here on Earth. Watching this movie years later, it hurts knowing you're not here with us. Daniel says, it's nice to know they can see me everyday. This rings so true, because Sir we can all see you everyday with the wonderful movies and memories your departed lifestream left us. The way Miranda says the kids miss him/Mrs Doubtfire.. that's how millions of souls feel about you Mr. Williams. You were an amazing actor, comedian and human being. We all love you so much. R.I.P Robin Williams❤

I love how Miranda swallows her pride here and admits that she may have acted out on implulse just a bit too harshly and realized Daniel was such a good father that he would go to extremes to see his children . R.I.P. Robbin you're missed

I actually love how Miranda decides to have Daniel see the kids everyday after this conflict scene.

I swear I was laughing it off, during the intro when he screamed, because she said his name. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I think what's nice about this scene, is when they talk about how mrs. Doubtfire was a part of the kids lives, and how Miranda says that she brought out the best in the kids, and that she brought out the best in Daniel, the Daniel replies that that character also brought out the best in her. And what's nice about it is that even know these two people do not love each other any longer, they can still see that each of the other has very good and endearing qualities about them, which denotes that there is no real genuine animosity between them.

The scream at the start always gets me 😂😂

Robin & Sally ❤ The entire film industry and the world owes these two a massive.. massive standing ovation. We do not deserve these people & their amazing talent. This movie made the 90’s. Let that sink in.

“So what do you want me to do? Pretend everything is alright, put on a happy face and smile?” It breaks my heart how that’s actually how he felt off camera. Rest In Peace Robin Williams. An amazing actor but an even better human

Another nice thing I like about this scene is that it’s nice that Daniel has a new kind hearted boss named Jonathan Lundy where on the other hand, his boss Tony was an arrogant grouch when Daniel had the job as the shipping clerk.

so we're going to pretend that 0:00 isn't the funniest moment ever? 😂😂😂

This movie had a lot of meaning, and this scene was definitely the stitch it needed to bring it full circle. Robin Williams was such an amazing talent and was the perfect fit for such a wonderful, terrific movie. I miss his humor, his talents, and overall his personality. RIP Robin

this is my favorite scene in the movie. Miranda finally got off her high horse and realized that although Daniel was an irresponsible father at times he still loved the children. I think that was that logical conclusion to Miranda allowing Daniel to take the children after school.

This scene is so good. Robin is such a good actor in this and I general. The crackling of his voice with the "wonders why" at 1:28 and his look and ""aah" at 1:38.. so good

The original script's ending had Daniel and Miranda get back together, but they decided that it wasn't a good idea because it might provide children of divorced parents with false hope.

This is a good lesson. They may not be husband and wife anymore but they are still parents first and they still need to work together to raise their kids. Throughout the film both of them were doing what they thought was best for the kids but they were in actual fact doing what they thought was best for them.

It took a while for Marndia to relaize how hurtful she was being towards Daniel and the kids. No wonder why Daniel protrayed himself as a women to be with his family and holding a successful job.

As an adult, this scene has so much for me. I love how they tried to communicate with each other and express themselves but choose not to break down into more arguing but to instead do what's best for they're kids, and even give each other some credit. I love that Miranda tells Daniel that mrs. Doubtfire brought out the best in their kids and him and then he gives it right back saying and you. I think being mrs. Doubtfire gave him some perspective on the support Miranda needed as well as the skills to be a better more well-rounded father. As for Miranda, it showed her that her kids really do need their father because he was a great father. I think it helped them see each other a little clearer and support each other.

"I don't want to hurt our children". You already have.

I never tire of Mrs Doubtfire. Hey, that rhymes 😃

We all miss "Her" terribly, Miranda 😭💔. R.I.P Robin Williams !!!!!!!

For all the outrageous comedy this film has to offer the emotional core is very pure and heartfelt and by the end will have you crying

"So what do you want me to do? You want me to pretend like everything's all right? Put on a happy face? Smile? Jesus, Miranda. You took my children away from me. I can only see them now with supervision. Some woman who comes and watches me with the kids like I'm some sort of deviant. If I try to hug 'em, she wonders why. You know what that's like? You just sat there in that courtroom, you knew the truth, you didn't say a word and you let that judge pass that despicable sentence." Strongest/powerful line in this movie I reckon.

Me and my ex went through hell in our marriage. He did a lot of horrible things and said horrible things. I had my share of doing and saying horrible things. During the divorce I didn’t even want to see him, he was trying to force me and control the situation. Was disgusted to say the least. Our son was strongly effected by all of this. He could sense we weren’t getting along and acted out in class. He wasn’t happy. After about almost two years of this I decided I was going to contact my ex and tell him let’s just drop all the bs and get along for our sons sake. It’s been a year now and we get along great. Our son is thriving in school, has friends and this year we even got together to celebrate his birthday with my ex family and my sons friends. He had both his parents there supporting him and preparing a great party. It may take time but in the end doing what’s best for the children is what is most important. So many regrets if you don’t. I value my son having the best relationship possible with his father and I would never want to take that from him. Learn to let go and get along!

At first I found both them at fault. Daniel was irresponsible and childish while Miranda was uptight and critical but as the movie went on I ruled in Daniel's favor because he actually changed and became more responsible while Miranda (At least from my point of view) seemed to be doing everything she could to push Daniel out of her children's lives. Don't get me wrong Daniel has his faults but Miranda didn't change til the end.

Miranda: "Daniel!?" Daniel: "WAAAAAAA HO!"

This film always makes me laugh and cry at the same time.

What's interesting is, him becomming Mrs Doubtfire allowed Miranda to see the kind of person he could be, something she'd never have expected or had given him a chance to show her. By not knowing it was him all that time she in a sense got to meet the real him all over again. The man he became would have been someone she could have been happy with, he stepped up as a more mature and responsible adult. Daniel speech at the end of the movie acknowledges that they may never end up back together but will actually get along much better. So I'd like to think in the long run they will build a stronger relationship than what they had before. There are a few couples out there who are actually happier not being married than if they were.

Robin Williams could be serious as well as he could be comical. He was a great talent.

Mrs doubtfire did bring the best out of all them

Robin Williams is one of the greatest comedians of all time, but this was the type of acting that I loved the most from him. He was such a talent God Damn it.

1:09 - Wow, that part is just depressing to think about...

Miranda: Daniel? Daniel: WAAAAAAAU!!! LMAO!!! Get's me every time.

My parents divorced in '98 when I was 7 and this movie really helped me cope with it, especially this scene. I always wished they got back together because that's the "happy ending". But movies like this and Liar Liar made the right choice to not force the divorced characters back together, but rather allude to a bond that allowed both parents to be there for their children.

Soon as i open this video. Just out of nowhere i hear "Daniel?? RAAAAAHH" god i just laughed my ass off so bad

My guess is when Miranda appealed to the judge for joint custody, she explained Daniel wasn’t acting and was like Superman to the kids.

Love how the guys behind Miranda dont react at all to Daniel's loud scream at the beginning

Wouldn't it be great if ALL separations/divorces ended so friendly?

As a survivor of a very nasty and heartbreaking divorce between my parents back when I was 14, the more I watch the dramatic moments in Mrs. Doubtfire, the more they resonate… 🥺

Such an emotional moment between Robin Williams and Sally Field

That jump scare in the beginning lol

Daniel? Ahhhhhhh! 😂

She decided to make the right decision

😂😂...."Daniel"....whooooh

"The only thing I know to be true in my heart is that the kids were happier when Mrs. Doubtfire was a part of their lives. She brought out the best in them. She brought out the best in you." "And you." I love how that moment, and the resolution of Mrs. Doubtfire getting the show and living on, acknowledges that even though she wasn't "real", this character that was invented by Daniel still had real value in their lives. Maybe it's a bit self-aggrandizing for Hollywood to send such a message, but it recognizes that fictional characters can be just as "real" in our lives as real people, depending on how they connect with us and what they bring out in us. The people portraying them can be affected and bring out a certain side of themselves, as well as the audience. It's a validation of Daniel's (and Robin Williams) job as an actor to create characters that provide real meaning in our lives. It's pretty much this scene and this moment that makes me really feel like Mrs. Doubtfie is the quintessential example of what Robin Williams did for the profession of acting, in creating that hip old grandma as a performance within a performance. And with it all being centered around him doing it to connect with his kids, it really captures the whole reason that we as adults perform for kids in order to entertain them and make them believe in something great or fun or magical, even if it isn't "real". The whole movie ultimately feels like a love-letter to what Robin Williams was all about, while also never feeling like it was just an ego-project or a just a star-vehicle. It all works so well, blending into a really great, meaingful movie that every family going through a divorce, or any major problems really, should see. Every time I come back to it over the years, I'm always reminded that this movie really was something special, and feel validated for it being one of my favourite movies as a kid, even though I didn't understand it on all the levels I do now.

To be fair, Miranda was the bread winner while Daniel would rather be a struggling actor who would make a mess at home and sort of be a bad example to the kids.....So he did hurt her in that way...

The look on his face when she said “I don’t want to do anymore who did what to whom” probably made them realize why was the overall reason why they divorced

Robin's performance in this scene was unreal Sally's to

Robin was an incredible actor. The kind of actor who can make you cry with just a look.

"You hurt me too." You took his kids away from him. how is it comparable? And if she thinks it is then maybe she isn't the best guardian.

”I tray to huge them, she wonder why” Robin Williams When I think after I started kry. Then they juste say sorry and everthing is alright, also breaks my heart!😭 RIP Robin Williams❤️❤️❤️

Daniel only wanted to stay married for his kids. Which wasn’t going to work out. Ultimately, he got his wish.

It must be so weird for Miranda to see Daniel as Mrs Doubtfire and knowing that it’s him after she had believed it was someone else

Amazing Robin Williams. Such a great acting, he really puts you in his shoes.

I understand Daniel's feelings. Yes, Miranda was understandably hurt, but taking away the children was wrong.

Robin Williams scream at the beginning was the best part. It's like he was scared of his ex wife. When he heard her voice it freaked him out.

One of the best comedy drama movies of all time with a perfect cast.

The part where Miranda admits that Mrs Doubtfire brought out the best of the kids and Daniel, Daniel in turn admitted that Mrs Doubtfire brought the best out of Miranda too, takes me back to the scene earlier when Miranda unknowingly tells Daniel as Mrs Doubtfire that the reason their marriage deteriorated was because Daniel was bringing the worst from her. Daniel might have initially started role playing as Mrs Doubtfire to get access to his children but hearing that confession he knew he also needed to make it up to Miranda. So readjusting to be more responsible for the the kids, himself, as well and give Miranda the chance to relax and not worry for once, Mrs Doubtfire brought the best from everyone in the family. Just wholesome that even though both Daniel and Miranda were butting heads, they acknowledged the positive influence they had despite it was a time of hurt for different reasons.

My father claimed to the court that he was paying child support but the court didnt believe him so they sent a liason to retrieve the checks so that the court could verify that he was paying child support. So he packed his things and left the country and i never heard from him since. I was 9 years old at the time. Would have been nice to have a dad like Robin williams portrayal.

As someone who’s lucky to have both parents under the same roof, I just can’t help but feel sorry for both Daniel and Miranda. But you got to admit Robin and Sally play off each other so genuinely! I first saw this movie nine months before Robin died. He was like a childhood friend I never knew from the first moment I heard him voice Batty in Ferngully!

"Daniel the kids need you." "........I need them." 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

On the thumbnail it looks like Williams is just doing a behind the scenes film interview.

Depression is real. Anxiety is real. Not getting to see my toddler son grow up in front of me is painful. A separation of over 3 years and counting from him. I wish and pray for his well-being everyday. #ParentalAlienation needs to be stopped

In the time that Daniel was pretending to be Mrs. Doubtfire, he learned to be responsible with his kids. He also learned that his kids can be responsible too but at the same time, enjoy being kids. So when the judge passed the verdict saying he can only have limited and supervised visits with his kids, he feels that the whole experience was for nothing. He may have started it off just so he could spend more time with them, but in the journey he learned to be a father to them rather than just being their friend.

I remember watching this movie for my entire life since I was a little boy 👦 and I still watch this movie and it came out in nineteen ninety three 30 years ago when I was born and I'm going to write a tribute to myself for national premature day on Friday November 17th about me Jordon William Hargrove Born May 3rd Nineteen Ninety three 😀 at st joseph hospital nicu on the 2nd floor 😀 Nicu 1lb4ozs with lots of pictures of me when I was a baby 👶

Robin's perspective wasn't treated as seriously as it should have been. There are a ton of dad's out there, right now, who can't even see their kids. A majority of the ones who can and are separated from the mother are under intense scrutiny. The main line that sticks out to me is "I can only see them under supervision. Some lady who looks at me like I'm some sort of deviant. If I try to hug them, she wonders why." That's fucked up. It's fucked up and totally unfair.

Daniel ? Woo!! I always thought she scared him but he was really woo'ing lol

One thing I like that sally and robin chose not to get back together bc they were both victims of divorce

I’m glade this moment ended much better then the scene in the restaurant when he was found out and that only was because Miranda was shock and embarrass which turned to anger

This and Stepmom are pretty much perfect examples of although there's a mess when it comes to separation and divorce, there are also positives that come with divorce, they won't argue and fight a lot, though their may be disagreements from time to time. But despite that they become better parents, let alone better people towards each other -- the marriage may have failed, but they can agree that what they did right is their children.

It was the judge who decided Miranda have sole custody because Daniel had no place to live and no steady income.

This movie showed that the court system should not separate father's from their offspring, and so many years later, we are seeing the worst parent alienation in history.

I used to love this show as a kid. Many years later I know full well what was happening now. My ex filed divorce and I fought tooth and nail just to get a little bit of time with my son.

That TV show Daniel hillard was given to play as mrs doubtfire gave him his will to see his children each day now that he has a permanent job to hold down on 😃😄

Robert Williams, along with Lucille Ball will always always always be my absolute favorite entertainers everrrr! Give me Robin Williams along with Lucille ball will always always always be my absolute favorite entertainers everrrrrrrr!!!!!

He nearly killed a man... Why is everyone turning a blind eye to that kind of cold incompetence?

Daniel? WHOOOOOOAAAAA!!!!!!

Except in real life once social services are here, there's no way no one could go back and try to make things better because now they'll keep you from seeing your kids for years no matter what anyone says about it

That a boy. Complain about the child custody condition. Who likes only seeing their kids in a supervised condition and the supervisor gets suspicious when Daniel just expresses his love for his children? Not to mention the supervisor being a woman and there are a lot of women that have negative opinions about men.

0:00 The SCREAM IS VERY FUN 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

I've been here, and the fight cost me 11 years of my life. If they hate you, you're done. No matter how good of a father you are or try to be.

I could imagine the 9th doctor giving Miranda harsh talk and saying that she is greedy unhappy pig telling her she just acts like prey just so people can feel sorry for her because that how she survives and saying that stu is an idiot and that he is big spider in the web feeding off Miranda’s stories of Daniel

She admitted she was angry She did not give a shit but to hurt the man that loved there kids so much

I know what that's like to have your kids taken away just for revenge. There is no excuse for such evilness.

This is the most raw scene in the whole movie. Even watching this as a kid it was like a window into adult life and what happens when two people with three kids just can't get along. It's amazing how robin was able to be like over the top clown comedy and then switch over to this

I have been fortunate I have three children with two different ladies. And I have been blessed with the best mums to have children with. My first was my wife who helped me on the road to parent hood. And when we split when our second was two the first thing we said was I have them every weekend. So I get to see them every week. When I split with the second lady same again. Even though my youngest is now four and lives 40 miles away we sort it out so he stays at mine two nights a week ( fortnightly atm due to Covid but speak on the phone). I know we have so much anger when we split up with a loved one. But don’t pass the pain to the children. Children don’t need parents together they just need parents to get along and do anything to make them happy. Point scoring and using the kid as a weapon hurts everyone even if your the one doing it. So please everyone if you split with your partner and have kids don’t play stupid point scoring games do the best to get along for the kids sake. Also ladies I know there are certain reasons why you don’t let your kid go to there dads. I know it’s for there protection and my statement is not aimed at you.

Even though they were both responsible for the divorce up to this point Miranda was blaming him for the divorce that it was all his fault and she was the victim of the marriage especially by some of the things he said to him when he was mrs Doudtfire which made him realize he need to change

Miranda... give it a rest, this is all your doing anyway!

Look I try to be fair. Daniel was irresponsible so I understand why She wanted a divorce. But after the divorce she did everything she could to push Daniel out of their lives which was cruel. Thankfully she Realized this and was disgusted with her behavior. In the end the kids will be better off with their father around and maybe Daniel and Miranda could become friends at least

Daniel!!! Woooo!!!

This movie gets funnier the more you watch it

Daniel reminds me so much of my dad. He's as childish and selfish as Daniel is. My dad tried to tell me the same thing here, that my mom stole me from him and that she let the judge lay down that sentence. Blah blah blah blah. It was because my dad was a monster and he'd beat the hell outta me like I was a goddamn home invader!!! He barely spoke 2 words to me everyday. I tried to be a son to him but he kept walking away from me like I didn't exist. Last I heard, he's in jail for sexually assaulting a coworker. So he's where he belongs now.

Now if only all divorces could end so well. If she wasn't happy wasn't happy with Daniel then maybe she should've just left him before they had kids.
