Trivia:
The titles "Grounded" and "The Big Backyard" were considered and subsequently dropped during pre-production. moreGoofs:
Factual errors: In the battle scene between the ant and the scorpion, the scorpion is shown to be only slightly bigger then the ant. A scorpion in comparison to an ant would be WAY bigger then the ant, not only slightly bigger as the movie portrays. moreQuotes:
Dr. Brainard: You were right about the electric flea collar. The extension cord was a bad idea. moreSoundtrack:

HONEY, I SHRUNK THE KIDS, in my opinion, is an absolutely wild and wacky adventure that you will surely enjoy. If you ask me, the scorpion was the scariest of all the dangers in the backyard. Also, Wayne (Rick Moranis) really was an absent-minded scientist. Don't get me wrong, but I thought that it was funny when he told Diane (Marcia Strassman) that he shrunk their kids (Amy O'Neill and Robert Oliveri) and the Thompson kids (Thomas Brown and Jared Rushton). In conclusion, if you like Rick Moranis or hilarious sci-fi adventures, I highly recommend this absolutely wild and wacky adventure that you will surely enjoy. You're in for a wild ride if you haven't seen it, so hold on tight!
