Reviews for Honey, I Shrunk the Kids
The special effects have moved on a bit since the 1950s, but this is old-fashioned Disney fun.

The special effects are all there, nicely in place, and the production values are sound, but the movie is dead in the water.

Top CriticA funny, silly, even exciting adventure for younger audiences with a nice pro-family message that doesn't get in the way.

Much better than it seems it has a right to be.

Except for the demise of an endearing ant, the film keeps everything in perspective and is amusing and light-hearted throughout.

This Disneyfied version of The Incredible Shrinking Man isn't so bad -- it at least features some reasonable special effects.
