Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (DVD, 2002)

"Honey, I Shrunk The Kids" is a really fun family film. The special effects still hold up to today's standards and are really amazing.

Rick Moranis is great as Wayne Szalinski, the scientist father working on a machine that can shrink objects. But his machine is a failure until one of the neighbors hits a baseball through the attic window, bumping into the machine. When the two neighbors - Russel and Ronald - and Wayne's kids -Amy and Nick - go up to retrieve it, they step in the way of the beam and.... SHRINK!

From then on it's a wild adventure that takes them from the attic (in a garbage bag) to the backyard. They have to get back to the house so that Wayne can get them back to normal size.

We all dream about far away places and new lands (at least I think we do!), but the unchartered territory for the majority of this film is different - it's right in the back yard! Blades of grass become slides, bumble bees become giant monsters, and everyone loves "Anty." And then of course comes the lawn mower...

Their is comedy, romance, action, and adventure - something for everybody and more. "Honey, I Shrunk The Kids" is a memorable flick, that will stay with you.

Having always been fascinated with the concept of how different the world around us would look if this sort of thing was possible, I have long been enthralled with this film ever since I first glimpsed it years ago. Even after all these years of progression in special effects, this movie never fails to capture my imagination, even if parts of it do look fake or cheesy, there's just something so compelling about seeing a solid anamatronic ant. Part of what makes the film still work is how you get to know the characters before the adventure begins and that the actors are generally believable in their distinct roles. Another key ingredient is James Horners zany, adventurous and even stirring score. The opening theme is very reminiscent of the Simpsons, which makes sense, as they made their debut the same year. All in all a must for any fan of 80s nostalgia or light science fiction!

found an old title that was brand new! We love the fact that we could now get the movie in /dvd format instead of the old vhs format. Nice kid movie for youger children.

The kids love this movie..Good clean family fun. great cast and special effects.
Not to overly complex dialogue so the kids can easily understand it.

I like this movies because it is something I used to watch as teenager and I wanted to get it for my kids. Disney has started putting alot of sexually implisitive material in their teen movies now and this isn't like that. The effects are great too for being about 15 years old.
