Tagline: The most astonishing, innovative, backyard adventure of all time!
Another concept flick about children that lighted up the screen and brought in the bucks. Rick Moranis plays the — wait for it! — absent-minded professor who inadvertently shrinks a group of children.
Quote:
Diane Szalinski (Marcia Strassman): [excited] Are you saying... it works? The machine works?
[Wayne nods]
Diane Szalinski: Do the kids know?
Wayne Szalinski (Moranis): Well, yeah, the kids know.
Diane Szalinski: That's great!
Wayne Szalinski: No, it's not that great.
Diane Szalinski: Why?
Wayne Szalinski: I shrunk the kids.
TIME's Take: "Aspire[s] to the freedom of form and story that any animated film takes for granted. Problem is, real life gets in the way."
