Amazon.co.uk Review
A deft balance between special effects, comedy and family dynamics made this 1989 film a hit for Disney and spawned both a string of video sequels and a subsequent TV series. Moranis is endearing as the bumbling inventor/father of the Szalinski family. He inadvertently shrinks his own children then throws them out with the trash. They, along with the neighbour kids, must journey back across their own backyard, now an enormous, dangerous distance, to get back to the right height. Much is done with the perils of the lawn, from a wild deluge from the sprinklers to a nasty encounter with the lawnmower and numerous encounters with gigantic insects. Honey, I Shrunk the Kids is a generally kid-friendly, inventive (no pun intended) and entertaining outing. --Keith Simanton

A Disney classic.,

This is a wonderful family film, comedy like it should be. Perfect for children and amusing enough for adults but without the humour that will go over childrens head unlike some family films and cartoons like The Simpsons. The special effects stand up fairly well even after twenty years and it remains really enjoyable.

One of my all time favorite movies,

Wayne Szalinski is convinced he has figured out a way to shrink the size of matter. It works great on paper, but he can't make it work in real life. While he's at a conference presenting his ideas, the machine accidentally shrinks his and his neighbor's kids. When they get thrown out with the trash, they must journey across the backyard, avoiding bugs, sprinklers, and lawnmowers. Meanwhile, Wayne and his wife try to fix the machine and find the kids. Will they find them before it's too late? Can Wayne figure out how to make the machine work to reverse the process?This is one of my favorite movies. It combines a great story and great characters with great special effects. All the characters grow because of their experiences, even both sets of parents. The special effects still hold up today, and are there to tell the story, not the other way around. The story moves effortlessly from comedy to drama and back again. Unfortunately, Disney chose to release this gem on a less then steller DVD. The film is full frame, and there are no extras. They could have enclosed the trailer and special that aired here in the states for nothing, but chose not to for whatever reason. It's a shame that there aren't more movies like this. Gather the entire family together and enjoy a great family film.

HONEY I SHRUNK THE KIDS is a truly hilarious kids film. I say kids film, but it's really for all the family. The grown ups will love it just as much as the kids! The acting is amazing and the storyline is humorous, solid and effective. You'll really love this! You definately wont regret buying this! 10/10! YOU'LL LOVE IT!
