Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989)

A great classic!

I remember watching this movie when I was a kid, and loving every second of it! And, what do you know? I still do to this day!

Very creative story, great characters, all around good clean fun for everyone! May 19, 2008

Good effects sans CGI

I watched this a lot of times but never watched the 2 sequels (Honey I Blew Up the Kid, Honey We Shrunk Ourselves) after this. Still this original entertains me everytime I view it. Special effects weren't bad in this 1989 film considering that CGI weren't used. Some scaling though needs improvement. Matt Frewer as the obnoxious neighbour delivered the funny parts well. You wouldn't go wrong with this Disney movie. March 20, 2008

No widescreen version!

Too sad.
I have widescreen TV and this dvd is annoying.

It has only full screen format. March 19, 2008

Magical

When I hear grown adults dog on this film, you gotta wonder about them. It is a kids film, yes, and clearly meant to be so. However, this goes far beyond the pale of normality within that genre. This was a first of its kind and well thought-out.

The kids all did such a fine job with their respective roles, better than the adults, really. All in all, I remember this film tapping my imagination the way no other film did of that era. Of course, I was nine years old, and it did what it was supposed to do.

When watching it now, I can still attest to its magic.

Recommended for the family.

great movie with funny and scary scenes

i think this is a very cool movie. it has very scary scenes (like the scene with Antie and the scorpion-- almost made me cry...), and very funny scenes (like the one where the dog starts making rick spin on the rope-- that made me fall to the floor, it was so funny!!!)

all in all, i thought this was a very good movie. i give it a one million star rating! March 25, 2007
