They don't make pre-teen entertainment like this anymore, and that's a crime...retains a filmmaking purity that's timeless, aging well against a summer of now dated motion pictures.

Reviews for Honey, I Shrunk the Kids
A wonderful blend of thrills, character, and humor that will keep both children and adults charmed and engaged throughout.
The special effects have moved on a bit since the 1950s, but this is old-fashioned Disney fun.
[It's] in the best tradition of Disney -- and even better than that, because it is not so juvenile that adults won't be thoroughly entertained.
