What do people think of Honey I Shrunk the Kids? To me, it’s a classic and Rick Moranis’s best movie, but it seems sort of slept on, can barely even find it on Blu Ray which is a decent gauge for demand. Great James Horner soundtrack too, and I love the Harryhausanian style of the effects and the sort of mad science Jules Verne In a Backyard scenario of the whole adventure. It’s directed by Joe Johnston who seguewayed into directing after working on the Star Wars trilogy as a concept artist, so it has the same vibe of a lot of Lucasfilm movies in the 80s. I watched it on repeat as a kid and think it holds up, but maybe it’s my nostalgia talking, because I think it’s one of the best kids movies that also works for adults ever.
