Amazon.co.uk Review
A deft balance between special effects, comedy, and family dynamics made Honey I Shrunk the Kids 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's 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. A generally kid-friendly, inventive (no pun intended), and entertaining outing. --Keith Simanton
Synopsis
In the classic 1989 family adventure Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, eccentric inventor Wayne Szalinski (Rick Moranis) accidentally shrinks his children to 1/4 inch tall and tosses them out with the rubbish. They face incredible dangers as they try to get home through a backyard jungle. Moranis returns in the sequels that turned the comedy-adventure into a franchise, complete with television series and Disney World movie-set playground and 3D show. Honey, I Blew Up The Kid (1992) sees Szalinski accidentally turn his toddler into a looming giant. In the 1997 follow-up, Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves, the absent-minded scientist gets a taste of his own medicine as he miniaturises himself, his brother, and his wife.

This boxset features all 3 films in the Disney 'Honey, I' franchise. It is well worth buying if you remember watching it as a child, or indeed if you have a family with young children. Yes, you can tell instantly by the opening credits that the film is dated, but younger children aren't likely to notice and you soon forget as you get into it! Get it for the first 2 films alone. Recommeded.
'Honey I shrunk The Kids' is a 1989 comedy which sees Rick Moranis star as the 'nutty' professor Wayne Szalinski who invents an electro-magnetic shrink ray that accidently shrinks his 2 kids and the neighbours kids to 1/4 of an inch! Not realising, he sweeps them up and puts them in a bin in the back garden! The story follows the kids' journey back into the house as they face giant bees, ants and the threat of a lawnmower! This, the original film in the series is by far the best in my opinion.
'Honey, I Blew Up The Kid' is the 1992 sequel to 'Honey, I Shrunk The Kids' and features Rick Moranis again as Wayne Szalinski. SInce the last incident, the Szalinskis have welcomed a new addition to the family, 2.5 year old Adam. Wayne takes Adam to work while he is demonstrating a new machine. Just as he presses the button, Adam walks into the beam. The story then follows Adam as he grows and grows and grows!
'Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves' was a 1997 direct to video sequel to 'Honey, I Blew Up The Kid' and again featured Rick Moranis, although his wife Diane is now played by a different actress. The story tells of how Wayne, his wife, brother and sister-in-law are accidentally shrunk with his electro-magnetic shrink ray. This time it is up to son Adam and his cousins to un-shrink their parents.

Having watched the first 2 films when I was younger I have purchased this set for my boys. They loved the films and it was well worth the money. Three entertaining films for less than seven pounds.

Funny and nice
I like comedy. And these movies are really funny, especially I like the second one. I laughed a lot. The movies also show us family ties. I think they are good for children.
