What happens
Honey, I Shrunk the Kids is a 1989 American science fiction comedy film. It is the first installment of a film franchise and served as the directorial debut of visual effects artist Joe Johnston. The film stars Rick Moranis as a struggling inventor who creates an energy-projecting machine that accidentally shrinks his and his neighbors' children to a height of a quarter of an inch. After being accidentally thrown out with the trash, the children must work together and venture their way back through a backyard wilderness filled with dangerous insects and man-made hazards. Honey, I Shrunk the Kids was released theatrically in the United States on June 23, 1989, and distributed by Buena Vista Pictures Distribution. It was an unexpected box office success, grossing $222.7 million worldwide (equivalent to $576.6 million in 2025), becoming the highest-grossing live-action Disney film of all time, a record it held for five years, and the seventh-highest-grossing film of 1989 worldwide. Its success led to two sequels, beginning with Honey, I Blew Up the Kid in 1992, as well as a television series and several theme-park attractions. An animated short film, Tummy Trouble starring Roger Rabbit, was shown with the film during its theatrical run. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
