One of my all time favorites.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
"Honey, I Shrunk the Audience" is pretty much exactly what you would expect as a theme park attraction / short film about the pretty famous movie "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids". People who loved the film will maybe enjoy this, probably a lot more than I did. It's from start to finish a mix of mediocre sitcom with constantly new inventions that, of course, go all kinds of wrong. A bit shocking to see it takes 3 writers to come up with something mediocre and short as this one. The version I watched stayed easily under 20 minutes, maybe around 14, so I am fairly certain that the 23 minutes stated on the movie's title page are not correct. All in all, a forgettable watch. Not a must-see for anyone, but if you really adored the film, you can check it out. Thumbs down from me and it did not make me curious about the film at all. Looks also pretty dated, then again it opened over 20 years ago.
I saw this movie short at the 3D theater Disneyland or Disney's California Adventure in August 2008. It was a fun-filled attraction that shows Wayne Szalinski (Rick Moranis) receiving the Inventor of the Year Award for his shrink ray. If you've seen Honey, I Shrunk The Kids, then you would surely get the clue from this movie short's title that you, the audience of this show, will be Wayne's science guinea pigs when he shrinks you and everybody else while attempting to demonstrate his invention.The 3D effects were great and it makes you feel you are really part of this funny and adventurous movie with all its objects and animals jumping right out at you. There are also other effects that enhances the attraction, such as air and water being sprayed onto you.See and experience the attraction for yourself and enjoy the ride!Grade A
Stars: Rick Moranis, Marcia Strassmen, Eric Idle.Living in Long Beach, California, I know this show from Disneyland, taking up the theater that Captain Eo with Michael Jackson used to take up. This show is much better. The show takes place at the Inventor of the Year awards, hosted by Dr. Nigel Channing (Monty Python's Eric Idle). Wayne Szalinski is the winner and amusing chaos ensues. The 3-D is great, including a tiny flying machine right in front of you, a snake showing it's fangs and many other great effects. I highly recommend you see this when next at Disneyland, in Tommorowland.My rating: *** 1/2 out of ****. 21 mins.
CONTAINS SPOILERSAs basically all posts have said, this is a pure fun 3D movie. Basically you are entreated to a ceremony at the Imagination Institute, honouring Wayne Szalinski for his inventions. And he is asked to demonstrate his famous shrinking ray by shrinking some luggage. Unfortunately, the ray goes out of control and it shrinks you. Before you get shrunk, however, there are some gags which involve duplicates of mice that will have the youngsters freaked (and the rest of us wondering exactly how it was done).Rick Moranis is, of course, in top form as the inventor he originated.If you get the chance to see this, don't miss out.
