Rewind & Review Ep 92 - Honey, I Shrunk The Kids (1989)

Directed Joe Johnston, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids is the science fiction comedy film starring Rick Moranis and the first installment of the Shrunk film franchise. Rob and Jason shrink themselves as a means to rewind to 1989 to review this Disney family classic. When kids sneak into inventor Wayne Szalinski's (Rick Moranis) upstairs lab to retrieve an errant baseball, his experimental shrink ray miniaturizes them. When Szalinski returns home, he destroys the device - and dumps it in the trash, throwing out the kids along with it. The four children, now 1/4-inch tall, must survive the journey back to the house through a yard where sprinklers bring treacherous storms and garden-variety ants stampede like elephants.
