Timeless classic. Great adventure movie than never gets old. Yes the effects and props aren't what they used to be, but its still enjoyable today. There's some 80s adventure movies that seem really silly when you watch them today, movies like explorers are just ridiculous when you watch them now, but this has stood the test of time and my son will definitely be watching this with me when hes a bit older.

Having last seen the film at around eight or nine years old, I had fond memories of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. I was curious as I pressed 'play' on Netflix – now at twenty-two years old – whether the film would still have the same charm. Oh man, does it ever!Director Joe Johnston (Jumanji, Captain America: The First Avenger, Jurassic Park III) is a former visual effects artists – and his strengths derived from that background are on display full force here. This film is absolutely gorgeous. The production design, miniature work, and creature effects are all extremely effective, and hold up far better than I ever expected them to. It's not just a visually stunning film either, it's pure fun. From start to finish, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids maintains a thrilling, fast-paced sense of excitement and adventure. The actors – both adult and child – are all lovable, and there isn't a weak link in the bunch. Humorous, exciting, and visually stunning, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids is a necessary addition to any family's library.

If you ask me "is this a good movie?". No, not at all. But its a movie for kids so i guess it is meant to be ridiculous. In fact it's ridiculous in a good way.I've seen this movie a few times when i was a kid and i enjoyed it a lot. I mean, who doesn't want to ride an ant, sleep in a lego, or swimming in a bowl of cereal while trying to save ourselves from being eaten by our own dad? Though i prefer its sequel (or prequel i forgot) where the baby became big (forgot the name)With that being said, its a fun kids movie that probably can be enjoyed by parents too. (But i doubt it)

You must have watched this movie by now. Honey I Shrunk the Kids is a highly entertaining family movie. Wayne is a bit of an eccentric inventor and invents a machine, that blows objects up, as well as shrinks them. The machine is still in the works when his children and the children of neighbour Russ Thompson Sr accidentally shrink themselves. Wayne leaves to go to a meeting to see if he can attain funding for his project and by the time he gets back, the kids have been accidentally shrunk. Russ Sr and his wife leave ahead to go on an extended trip they had planned and Russ Sr lies about his children missing, insisting they were going to be grounded. After the kids have been accidentally shrunk to less than half an inch, Wayne returns home and doesn't realize what has happened right away. He goes to sit down on his couch, which is no longer there, and not cluing in he starts destroying the machine because he is frustrated from the meeting he had earlier which didn't go anywhere and everyone walked out on him. He sweeps up the mess and sends the kids out to the trash. They then embark on the mission of trying to get back to the house, which is miles away to children of their size, and the journey they take is full of mishaps. Nick is picked up by a bumble bee, and Russ Jr jumps onto the bee to try and save his friend, where they become divided from the other two. While battling sprinklers, and Amy nearly drowning in mud, battling a scorpion and being thrown by a lawn mower they eventually return home. Honey I Shrunk the Kids was produced by Walt Disney Pictures. It was Joe Johnston's Directorial Debut and was produced in 1989. This action comedy will keep you on the edge of your seat. I still remember Moranis saying "Honey I Shrunk the Kids." The way he said it was so original and it instilled a sense of panic with 'oh no' what happens now? Honey I Shrunk the Kids was one of my favourite movies as a child. Okay, so the dad shrunk the kids, but at least he's active in their life.
