Summary: C'mon Disney!... Why are you anti-original aspect ratio?!
Review: I had waited for quite some time for this film as well as Jungle 2 Jungle, Babes In Toyland, and White Fang to be released on DVD. I was only to be disapponted by Disney that it's awaited release was only available in the full-frame/pan and scan version. A benefit of owning a DVD player is the ability to own films widescreen and with extras (which these DVDs lack). If we are turning into a digital society... then make it worth our while. Disney's choice of the aspect ratio 1:33:1 release has cheated these films' directors in that the widescreen anamorphic format is how the director intended us to see it. Disney cheated us, the audience, as well leaving us with a full screen of plot rather than the wonderful vision of the films' crew.
P.S. Hey Disney give us a reason to buy your DVD's

Summary: No WIDESCREEN???
Review: I just got the DVD after waiting years and was totally bummed when I opened it and it was in "Pan & Scan"....

If it were not such a great movie we never would have bought it. Why wouldn't Disney just offer a dual format like everyone else?

Summary: A fantasy movie with great special effects included
Review: I remember when I was a kid, sometimes I would imagine what it would be like to be as little as an ant and how everything would look. When I first watched "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids," it pretty much proved to me exactly what it would be like in a way. An inventor of a new machine that can supposedly shrink people, accidentally shrinks his kids. His kids are trapped somewhere in the lawn, and that's when the adventure begins. The special effects in the movie are what makes the movie so good. You'll see the kids witness such phenomena as riding a bee and almost getting eaten as cereal. To the kids, raindrops are like huge water explosions, and the grass is like towering redwoods. They must find a way to deshrink themselves before they get squashed, eaten, etc.

The special effects aren't the only good thing about this movie. Parts of it are hilarious, and it has a good plot. I recommend anybody to get "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids."

Summary: Honey, I Finally Launched on DVD
Review: INTRODUCTION

In summer 1989, this worldly-weird movie bursted onto the screen by Disney, with the audience expecting another blockbuster hit like the previous summer's "Who Framed Roger Rabbit". Include that with the rave reviews recieved, the great idea and Rick Moranis (very big at the time), and the audience flocked to the theaters announcing "1 for Honey, I Shrunk the Kids". Yet, people used to mix it up like, "I Shrunk the Kids" or "Honey, I Shrunk" or even (I heard this one myself) "Honey Shrunk Kids". Soon enough, "Honey, I..." was a household phrase. Just because of this movie. What was so good and wonderful, and yet quirky and weird about this movie? Read on...

MOVIE

...continuing on, here's a brief, yet spefic description: When a baseball from the neighbor kid enables Wayne Syzlinski's shrinking machine to work, Amy and Nick Syzlinski and with the neighbor kids. To the kid's unfortune luck, they are stuck in the rear of the backyard, and need to walk about five miles (which is actually not that long, it will only take you about three hours, but it is a backyard full of dangers) to get back home. Throughout, romance blossoms between Russel and Amy, they ride bees (at the time, the response was the same as the door vault scene in 2001's Monsters Inc: Make a Disney ride out of it!), avoid huge water droplets from sprinklers, dangerous scorpions and huge forgotton toys, and don't forget the horrible world under the grass (which A Bug's Life gave us a second helping of nine years later).

REVIEW OF MOVIE

This movie has got to be the greatest display of how trippy the live-action movies of the late 80s were. Watch the first 30 minutes, complete with a completely-80s animated opening sequence (which gave a first look into computer graphics and hand-drawn animation combined). But, later, the very quirky mad scientist score and trippy idea gets on you...until the scorpion and Russel kissing Amy...it gets pretty trippy again. Just until the kids almost get eaten (yes, the Cherrios-ad scene) the movie's a weird experience. If you happen to take a trip to Disney/MGM Studios at Walt Disney World, the HISTK playground gives you exactly what this movie was like. But, this movie is wonderful, a great experience for all...

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: In a word: CRAP!
Review: Jesus, what is wrong with you people, how in any shape or form can you call this a good movie? This film was trying to be cutting edge what with all the corny special effects and it's intentions to be different than most family films, but failed BADLY!
Should've been called 'Honey I made a terrible film!'

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GREAT CLASSIC
Review: Man I love this movie. It has lots of humour and more. I can't wait to buy this on DVD.
