Get set for the adventure of a lifetime in the No.1 comedy hit of the year, Honey, I shrunk the kids! Rick Moranis stars as a preoccupied inventor who just can't seem to get his electro-magnetic shrinking machine to work. Then, when he accidentally shrinks his kids down to one-quarter-inch tall and tosses them out in the trash, the real adventure begins! Now the kids face incredible dangers as they try to make their way home through the jungle of their own backyard! Hurricane sprinklers! Dive-bombing bees! A runaway lawn mower and much, much more! Directed by Academy Award(R)-winner Joe Johnston (Visual Effects, Raiders of the lost ark, 1981), this record-breaking smash is full of amazing special effects, hilarious comedy, wild chases, and nonstop surprises! Early on one of the characters realizes, "We're now a quarter of an inch tall and 64 feet from the house. That's an equivalent of 3.2 miles". The movie was directed by Joe Johnston, who won a 1981 Academy Awards for Visual effects for raiders of the lost ark. Review: Shrunk the kids - We had so much fun watching this movie! Oldie but a goodie Review: Honey, I Shrunk the Kids(1989) - In the Summer of 1989, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids(1989) played in movie theaters while I was forced to spend time at a family member's house as my mom worked. Life threw me a bone when my mom's friend rented it on VHS and treated us all to ice cream in 1990. Local TV stations showed the film during Thanksgiving in the late 1990's. I would enjoy the film with a plate of turkey, mashed potatoes, and stuffing. ILM special effects artist Joe Johnston directs Honey, I Shrunk the Kids(1989). This sci-fi-family-comedy is an homage to sci-fi B movies such as The Incredible Shrinking Man and The Amazing Colossal Man. Rick Moranis plays Wayne Szalinski, an eccentric inventor who creates a machine that shrinks ojbects. Szalinski's children and two boys from next door are accidentally exposed to the shrinking ray and reduced to a 1/4 inch high! The kids struggle to get back inside the house and restored to their normal size. They're attacked by bees, scorpions, and lawnmowers. They also make friends with a baby ant. James Horner(Battle Beyond the Stars, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Krull) composed the music score for the film. Matt Frewer(Supergirl, Max Headroom) is quite good as Wayne's macho neighbor, Russ. The dog who plays Quark gives an earnest performance. The special effects are superb and they were crafted before CGI dominated Hollywood movie making. Marcia Strassman plays Wayne Szalinski's wife, Diane. She's the "honey" in the title. Amy O' Neill is lovely and charming as Wayne's daughter...Amy. Robert Oliveri is convincing as Wayne's intelligent son, Nick. He also acted in Edward Scissorhands(1990). Thomas Wilson Brown and Jared Rushton play Russ' kids. Horner's music score has an homage to Raymond Scott's Powerhouse B tune. The scene where the baby ant is killed by a scorpion is one of the most "tearjerking" scenes that I've ever seen in a movie! This film spawned two sequels, a campy TV show, and a theme park attraction called Honey, I Shrunk the Audience. It was spoofed on The Critic("Honey, I Laminated the Kids"). Honey, I Shrunk the Kids(1989) is fun and it's a Disney movie that kids and adults can enjoy.

Great, nostalgic kid and family movie!
In late November, we had a movie night at our house with some family friends. That night, the adults had the enjoyment of seeing this movie from our childhood through the eyes of our kids watching it for the first time. Through the sad, silly, and sobering moments, we had a fun and wholesome time. I had forgotten how likable and enjoyable this movie truly is.

Infinitas gracias a los comentarios especificando que la versión francesa está en castellano, efectivamente es así. Fuera no lo pone, pero al reproducir en DVD sale en español. Concretamente hay un comentario que indica el número de código de barras que os aseguro que esta acertado. Muchas gracias gente!
