A major part of the plot line is that Matilda is neglected/verbally abused by her parents.

A very very brief shot of a baby slightly spitting up in the first minutes. I’d have missed it but it’s pointed out in the lyrics.

Adding to the burp comment: it’s around the 46 minute mark and it’s one of the longest burps I’ve ever seen on film and the burp forms into a CGI cloud that is smelled/tasted by other characters. It’s quite something.

Technically the whole first song is in a hospital,however it's safely shown in a very whimsical way, nothing serious
Later on, near the 1 hour mark there's another scene within an imaginary section, a more realistic hospital

not canonically, but you could infer that matilda is autistic or at least neurodivergent

Some viewers may interpret the start of the song "Quiet" as an anxiety attack, however this is not confirmed

Some may be offended by the song "Bruce", in which a fat child is forced to consume an entire cake. The other children are being supportive of him in this number, but it does contain references to his weight.
