To a human being, the backyard is not a scary place. But what happens when the backyard is a scary place?
In Disney’s 1989 film, Honey, I Shrunk The Kids, Wayne Szalinski (Rick Moranis) could be the mad scientist next door. His newest invention is a machine that can shrink anything. Unfortunately, Wayne forgets to forewarn his family about his latest invention. When his kids and the kids next door are shrunk and somewhere within the backyard, Wayne and the kids must find each other before it is too late.
For a kid in the late 1980’s, this movie was high entertainment. Was it the best movie of it’s time? No. But when your that age, things like that don’t matter in a film.
Do I recommend it? Yes, but only for nostalgia’s sake.
