Honey, I Shrunk the Kids” – This 1989 science fiction comedy was a massive success, leaving quite an impression and spawning an entire franchise. The original movie features Rick Moranis as Wayne Szalinksi, Marcia Strassman as Diane, Amy O’Neill as Amy, Robert Oliveri as Nick, Matt Frewer as Russell, and Kristine Sutherland as Mae. Apart from films, the franchise includes a TV series and theme-park attractions that are both peculiar and fitting. In essence, the movie’s title is quite literal: an overwhelmed scientist (Moranis) inadvertently leaves one of his gadgets out, leading to his kids (and some neighbor kids) being shrunk to microscopic sizes. Now in grave peril due to their minuscule stature, the kids must figure out a way to alert their parents and seek help. However, completing this task proves far more challenging than it initially seems, especially when they are ejected into the “wilderness” of their own backyard.
