1989 film by Joe Johnston
Honey, I Shrunk the Kids
is a 1989 American
science fiction comedy
film. It is the first installment of a
film franchise
and served as the
directorial debut
of
Joe Johnston
. The film stars
Rick Moranis
,
Matt Frewer
,
Marcia Strassman
, and
Kristine Sutherland
. In the film, a struggling inventor accidentally shrinks his kids, along with the neighbors' kids, down to the size of a quarter-inch. After being accidentally thrown out with the trash, they must work together and venture their way back through a backyard wilderness filled with dangerous insects and man-made hazards.
Honey, I Shrunk the Kids
was released theatrically in the United States on June 23, 1989, and distributed by
Buena Vista Pictures Distribution
. It was an unexpected box office success, grossing $222 million worldwide (equivalent to $545.67 million in 2023) becoming the
highest-grossing live-action Disney film of all time
, a record it held for five years, and the seventh-highest grossing film of 1989 worldwide.
[2]
Its success led to two sequels, beginning with
Honey, I Blew Up the Kid
in 1992, as well as a
television series
and several
theme-park attractions
. An animated short film,
Tummy Trouble
starring
Roger Rabbit
, was shown in theatres with the film during its box office run.
Plot
[
edit
]
Quirky scientist and inventor Wayne Szalinski has been designing a ray gun machine capable of shrinking and growing objects, but cannot get it to work properly. His obsession with the machine worries his hardworking wife Diane, teenage daughter Amy, and aspiring inventor son Nick. Next door, Big Russ Thompson, his wife Mae, and their younger son Ron are preparing for a fishing trip. Their elder son, Little Russ, is less than enthusiastic, as his interests often clash with his father's.
Shortly after Wayne leaves for a conference, Ron accidentally hits a baseball through the Szalinskis' attic window and into the machine, turning it on and blocking its targeting laser. Caught by his brother, Ron is forced to confess to Amy and Nick. Ron is going to pay the damage of the window out of his allowance. Ron and Nick enter the attic to retrieve the ball and clean up the mess, and the activated machine shrinks them. Amy and Little Russ suffer the same fate when they go searching for their siblings.
At his conference, Wayne is laughed off the stage for failing to provide proof that his machine works. He enters the attic upon returning home; the shrunken children try to get his attention, but their voices are only loud enough to be heard by the family dog, Quark. Already frustrated, Wayne discovers the broken window and snaps, repeatedly striking the machine. He sweeps the debris, along with the kids, into a dust pan and trash bag. The four manage to escape, only to discover that the trash bag is now at the curb; they make their way back home through the Szalinskis' overgrown yard.
Meanwhile, the Thompson and Szalinski parents become uneasy at their children's absence. Mae and Big Russ cancel their fishing trip and file a missing persons report with the police. Wayne eventually pieces together what happened, but accidentally activates some sprinklers while inspecting the yard. As a result, Amy nearly drowns in a
mud
puddle, but Little Russ dives in to pull her out and revive her with
rescue breaths
. Wayne eventually reveals the truth to Diane, and she joins in the search. Later, she convinces Wayne to share the information with the Thompsons, but they remain skeptical.
The kids feast on one of Nick's discarded
Oatmeal Creme Pie
cookies, and use a crumb to capture a friendly
forager ant
, naming it "Antie" and riding it toward the house. As night falls, the group takes shelter in a
Lego
piece. Amy and Little Russ begin to express feelings for one another, and share a kiss. The kids are later attacked by a
scorpion
, but Antie, at the cost of its own life, helps them to drive the scorpion away.
The next morning, Nick's friend Tommy arrives to mow the lawn. The kids are forced to seek shelter in an earthworm tunnel, barely escaping the vortex caused by the mower, which Wayne and Diane shut off just in time. The kids hitch a ride on Quark, and enter the house, but Nick falls into a bowl of
Cheerios
and is nearly eaten by his own father. Quark bites Wayne's ankle to get his attention; Wayne discovers the kids' presence, and works to repair the machine.
Both families meet in the attic, and the kids use
charades
to inform Wayne that the baseball blocked the laser, which previously overheated targets and caused them to explode. Wayne corrects the problem, and Big Russ volunteers as a test subject; the test is successful, and he and the kids are later restored to their original sizes.
Months later at Thanksgiving, the Szalinskis and Thompsons have become good friends and are toasting over an enlarged turkey, while Quark feasts on a giant dog biscuit.
Cast
[

Production
[
edit
]
The project was originally brought to
Disney Studios
by
Stuart Gordon
and
Brian Yuzna
. Gordon was hired to direct the film and Yuzna to produce. The film was written as
Teeny Weenies
by Gordon,
Ed Naha
, and Yuzna.
Tom Schulman
was later added as a screenwriter. Gordon originally prepped the film but had to drop out as director shortly before filming began due to illness.
Joe Johnston
was brought in to replace him while Penny Finkleman Cox replaced Yuzna as producer.
As the title
Teeny Weenies
seemed to appeal more to a child demographic, the name was changed to
Grounded
to appeal to a more mature audience. That name was later rejected in favor of
The Big Backyard
.
Honey, I Shrunk the Kids
, based on a line of dialogue from the film, ultimately became its title. (The title was later criticized for its grammar, as the past tense of "shrink" is normally "shrank".)
[3]
[4]
The film was heavily influenced by 1950s fare, such as
The Incredible Shrinking Man
.
[5]
Casting
[
edit
]
Judy Taylor, Mike Fenton, and Lynda Gordon were the casting directors. Before
Rick Moranis
was cast as Wayne Szalinski, the script was written with
Chevy Chase
in mind because of his popularity in
National Lampoon's Vacation
. He was filming the second sequel,
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
, and was too busy to portray Wayne.
John Candy
was also considered for the role of Wayne. He declined, but suggested to Johnston that his friend (and costar of
SCTV
,
Little Shop of Horrors
and
Spaceballs
),
Rick Moranis
, would be a good choice.
Marcia Strassman
portrays Wayne's wife, Diane, who is having marital troubles with him.
The film needed four teenagers to play the leads. Russ Jr., portrayed by
Thomas Wilson Brown
, seems to be interested in Amy, and less in football, while Ron,
Jared Rushton
, appears to be more straightforward and a
bully
toward Nick, although he warms towards him. Rushton has quoted that he took the role after thinking that the script was "appealing" and he thought his character had progressed throughout the film with his personality.
Amy O'Neill
and
Robert Oliveri
were cast as Amy and Nick Szalinski, Wayne and Diane's kids. Oliveri commented that he was in awe about watching his stunt double do his stunts. He later starred as Kevin Boggs in
Tim Burton
's
Edward Scissorhands
. O'Neill thought the film was a fun experience and that doing off-set activities, such as swimming or playing cards, was fun to do with the other younger cast members. She accepted the role because it was a "Disney movie".
[6]
Direction
[
edit
]
Johnston was selected to direct the film for his directorial debut, having been mostly working on films as an effects illustrator and art director. It was filmed at the backlot of
Churubusco Studios
in
Mexico City
. Gregg Fonseca
[7]
was the production designer and was in charge of managing several different sets for the scenes in it.
Some filming took place in the streets of
Mexico City
. In the scene where Diane walks out of the mall to the pay phone, a sign says "Beverly Hills Mall", but is in fact Plaza Inn, a mall in Mexico City.
Special effects were heavily used for the film, such as the electronically controlled ants and bees. For the most part, the production team tried to use practical effects that would work in camera. For the scene where Wayne lands in the Thompsons' pool, Moranis jumped off a flying board in the form of a
teeter-totter
on a swing set. A stuntman pushed the board, sending him flying through the air and landing on a mat.
[8]
Numerous storyboards were used for the film, particularly in the sprinkler and bee scenes.
[5]
Scale models were also used for the bee scene, with miniature Russ Jr. and Nick plastic figures attached.
Forced perspective
was used in the giant cookie scene, to make it seem bigger.
[5]
The child actors were strapped in for the scene with the broom. The bristles were actually pieces of foam that were carved and tied to a rig system.

[12]

The New York Times
, gave a positive review, saying: "As sweet, funny, and straightforward as its title."
[14]
Variety
gave another positive review stating, "[It's] in the best tradition of Disney – and even better than that, because it is not so juvenile that adults won't be thoroughly entertained."
[15]
A rare negative review came from
Roger Ebert
, of the
Chicago Sun-Times
, who stated: "The special effects are all there, nicely in place, and the production values are sound, but the movie is dead in the water."
[16]
The film was also mentioned in the British sitcom
Only Fools and Horses
in the episode titled "
Rodney Come Home
".

Soundtrack
[
edit
]
After going years unreleased,
James Horner
's soundtrack to the film was made available by
Intrada Records
on March 6, 2009. The song that Amy dances to in the kitchen is "Turn It Up" by
Nick Kamen
, written by Jeffrey Pescetto and Patrick DeRemer.
The soundtrack was limited to a 3,000-copy release. Horner's main title music incorporates cues from the score by
Nino Rota
from
Federico Fellini
's film
Amarcord
(1973) and
Raymond Scott
's piece "
Powerhouse B
" (1937),
[17]
the latter often referenced in
Carl Stalling
's
Warner Bros.
cartoon scores. Scott's piece was used without payment or credit, leading his estate to threaten legal action against Disney. Disney paid an undisclosed sum in an out-of-court settlement and changed the film's cue sheets to credit Scott.
[18]
Horner's main title music underscores all the major moments involving Szalinski's technology.
With 15 tracks, Horner produced the record with longtime engineer Simon Rhodes while it was originally performed by the
London Symphony Orchestra
.

Disney Parks incorporation
[
edit
]
Studio Backlot Tour
[
edit
]
Following the film's success, one of its special effects was recreated by park guests on the Walking Tour portion of the
Studio Backlot Tour
at
Disney's Hollywood Studios
(then-known as Disney-MGM Studios) throughout the 1990s.
Two children from the tour would volunteer to be strapped to the side of a giant prop bee in front of a
green screen
and be videotaped acting distressed by the simulated flight of the bee. Using a robotic camera and
chroma key
technology, footage from
Honey, I Shrunk the Kids
would be incorporated into the finished video and displayed immediately afterward on television screens mounted throughout the room. The video then transitioned into a scripted segment recorded by film critics
Gene Siskel
and
Roger Ebert
(on the set of their syndicated television series
Siskel & Ebert
) critiquing the special effects but giving "
Two thumbs up
for the kids!"
Honey, I Shrunk the Kids: Movie Set Adventure
[
edit
]
From 1990 until 2016, a playground at Disney's Hollywood Studios recreated the overgrown backyard set of the film for park guests to explore.
Honey, I Shrunk the Audience
[
edit
]
A
three-dimensional film
called
Honey, I Shrunk the Audience!
complete with physical effects such as wind and water was created as an attraction at
Walt Disney World
's
Epcot
in 1994, and later made its way to
Disneyland
,
Tokyo Disneyland
, and
Disneyland Paris
with all four parks featuring the attraction by 1999. The film was a replacement for the
Michael Jackson
film
Captain EO
, a musical film launched in 1986. The film was phased out of the Disney Parks in 2010.
Sequels
[
edit
]
Honey, I Blew Up the Kid
[
edit
]
In 1992, Disney released the first sequel,
Honey, I Blew Up the Kid
, with Moranis, Strassman, O'Neill, and Oliveri reprising their roles as Wayne, Diane, Amy and Nick Szalinski. As the title suggests, Wayne succeeds in
enlarging
his two-year-old son, Adam, to gigantic proportions as one of his size-changing experiments goes awry.
Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves
[
edit
]
In 1997, Disney produced the second sequel,
Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves
, as a direct to video release.
Rick Moranis
was the only actor to reprise his role. The characters of Diane and Adam were recast, with Amy and Nick only being briefly mentioned in passing. Many new characters were added, including Wayne's brother Gordon and his family. This time, the parents are shrunk and need to be rescued by their kids.
TV series
[
edit
]
The last incarnation of the franchise was the television program
Honey, I Shrunk the Kids: The TV Show
.
Peter Scolari
took over as Wayne and Nick and Amy both returned as characters, roughly the same age as in the original film, and played by new actors. Its plots involved other wacky Szalinski inventions (rarely the shrinking machine) that do not work quite as expected and land the family in some type of humorous mixed-up adventure.
Future
[
edit
]
On February 21, 2018, it was announced that live-action remakes of several films are in development as exclusive content for
Disney+
, with one of those named in the announcement as being
Honey, I Shrunk the Kids
.
[19]
It was later confirmed that a "legacy-sequel" film titled
Shrunk
is in development to be released theatrically, with a plot that centers around Nick Szalinski as an adult scientist.
Josh Gad
will star as Nick in the film.
[20]
On December 5, 2019, it was reported that
Joe Johnston
is in talks to return as director.
[21]
On February 12, 2020, it was reported that
Rick Moranis
will come out of his long semi-retirement to reprise his role as Wayne Szalinski and that Johnston is now confirmed to direct.
[22]
[23]
The plot will center around an adult Nick accidentally shrinking his two daughters and son to five inches tall and them coping with their new sizes while he gets his estranged father Wayne to help him fix his machine.
Julia Butters
has been rumored to play Nick's daughter Sara.
Robyn Adele Anderson
has been reportedly cast as a babysitter named Teresa who also ends up getting shrunk.
In January 2020, Rick Moranis entered early negotiations to come out of his acting retirement, and reprise his role as Wayne Szalinski. Johnston was confirmed to direct, with Todd Rosenberg set to write the script, from an original story by Gad, Ryan Dixon, Ian Helfer, and Jay Reiss. By February, Moranis had officially signed onto the project to reprise his role.
David Hoberman
and
Todd Lieberman
will serve as producers. The film will be a joint-venture production between Walt Disney Pictures and
Mandeville Films
, with
Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures
as the distributing company.
[24]
Principal photography was scheduled to begin in early 2020, with filming taking place in
Toronto
, as well as
Atlanta, Georgia
.
[25]
[

In March of the same year, filming on all Disney projects were halted due to the
COVID-19 pandemic
and industry restrictions worldwide.
[26]
In November, Disney CEO
Bob Chapek
announced that filming on all movies that had been postponed by the coronavirus had resumed.
[27]
In June 2021, Gad stated that filming had not yet started and that he was hoping the shoot would begin in early 2022.
[28]
In January 2022, Gad stated that he and Moranis had once again started collaborating in preparation for the sequel.
[29]
In June 2023, Gad revealed on
Twitter
that the project has been put on hold indefinitely, although he expressed hope that production would resume in the near future.
