Didn't we just talk about this last week on CE?


Slash Film has confirmed that the 1989 Disney family comedy Honey, I Shrunk The Kids, which spawned two lesser known sequels, will be getting a reboot in the near future. Josh Gad is set to star in the film as Nick Szalinski, the now fully grown son of inventor Wayne Szalinski. While classed as a reboot, thus possibly ignoring the two 90s sequels, it will be set in the same universe as the original, set three decades afterwards.

The original film was released in June of 1989 and starred Rick Moranis as an inventor who accidentally shrinks his and his next door neighbors kids to a tiny size, forcing them to venture across their backyard to return home and fix their situation.

Whilst several live-action remakes have apparently been in the cards for some time for the upcoming Disney+ streaming service, Shrunk is evidently being planned for theatrical release.

I don't feel good about this unless they somehow get Rick Moranis to unretire, but who knows how good he'd even be

and it'll probably be full of terrible cgi bugs

Seems to be a sequel if you read the post Bad_Mojo posted...

it will be set in the same universe as the original, set three decades afterwards.


Which I didn't do, lol. But that's what the title of the article said

That movie deserves a gritty R-rated reboot. Have a class of kids/teens be shrunk and have some of them perish in each of the hazards, like some are sucked into lawnmower blades, speared by a scorpion, eaten with cereal, etc.

I saw the first two. I didn't know the third one existed.

Incidentally, it had a TV series. Bret and Owen Hart appeared as guest stars just before Owen's tragic accident. Sad, but true.

yeah allison mack was in it (chloe from smallville. the one who was involved in that sex cult)
mila kunis was also in it in one of her very first roles

rick, his wife, and 2 other parents get shrunk and have to navigate the house. so its set inside the house instead of the yard

I'm going to be honest, I did see a preview for it last week when I watched a Disney movie on a VHS tape from the 90s. But I'd either never known about it or, more likely, had completely forgotten about it up until that point.

When I go theme parking, I have a habit of watching movies that tie-in to the rides I hope to go on. And I have a box of old Disney tapes that I break out around vacation time.

honestly a lot of the plot points from the first film are reused and altered in the third one

instead of a scorpion they are attacked by a cockroach
instead of befriending an ant they befriend a daddy long legs
instead of almost being eaten in a bowl of cereal they are almost eaten when they fall into chip dip

I thought Honey We Shrunk Ourselves was pretty good, at least when I was a kid.

I thought the one with the giant toddler was pretty dumb though

Disney loves remakes and well they want new stuff for Disney Plus. My fear is CG effects. Even good CG is not the same as practical effects and its tye practical effects that made the first movie amazing. Yet I dont see that happening for the remake.

Edit it's not a remake its a forth movie for the series. My fear still stands.

Read the first post. It's not a remake. It's the forth film in the franchise. Its a sequel.

Anyways some of the first movies were adaptations of plays and books so already it started out not being original.

Could be a good movie

As long as they mix in some practical effects. Otherwise, without a major budget on par with Avatar or the Avenger movies, it's still gonna look kinda fake.

I mean, it might be a case of bad memory, but Indian in the Cupboard was pretty impressive back in the day.
