"Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" 4
Well this is unexpected. With Rick Moranis returning and Joe Johnston returning to direct, Josh Gad set to play Moranis' grown son.

He wants to do more than cameos so he might actually do this one. He was the main character before and sounds like it’s still a significant part.
I’m excited. The shrinking concept can work basically anywhere.

I wouldn't expect they'd put all their eggs in Josh Gad carrying the movie so I'm thinking Moranis is front and center.

How incredibly odd that he would decline Ghostbusters but come back and do this. I was under the impression that he wasn't particularly fond of these films but perhaps I was mistaken.

Well, it's what would probably be an extended cameo -- if that, I doubt Tully would be given close to the same screen time as the guys -- vs. the lead in a major relaunch of a movie series he was the star in. Though if he's unretired and all I dunno why he wouldn't just do Afterlife anyway. People would love to see him again. Maybe it's as simple as it was an insultingly low money offer or he didn't like Tully's new role or how he fits (or doesn't) into the movie.

Eh, I tapped out after the second one.
I really liked the original a whole bunch as a kid, and I think it still holds up pretty well, but a huge part of the appeal for me was always the practical effects. Man, movies like Starlog got a whole ton of mileage out of that movie with the behind-the-scenes articles and stuff. The concept, alone, is kind of flimsy as the premise of a full-blown modern-day movie without the draw of "How did they do that and make it look so real?", in my opinion. Like, by now we've seen way more impressive things done with CGI than merely making people bigger/smaller, so I'm not sure what the hook is in 2020. The story itself will probably be mostly-rehash, after all. I mean, they shrunk people, grew people, then shrunk people again... like, what's left? But I guess that's what they're gonna tell us. I've literally never heard anyone ever say "I wish they'd bring THIS franchise back", but here we are. I'unno, probably won't see it but hopefully it's better than 2 and 3. I've only seen bits of 3, and based on that I can say, it will most likely be better than 3.

I have enormously good memories of the first one as a kid. I don't remember the second one even a little bit, yet I know I went to the theater and saw it. I know for a fact I've never seen the third. Kind of terrified to rewatch even the first movie, even though I know I must have watched it 30 times... might be a bit ruined now, but maybe not.

I would not be that surprised if Rick Moranis showed up in GB3. I’m not counting on it and I know they say he was not there just wouldn’t be surprised if he ended up doing something...or it could be made up to keep him a secret.
This though makes sense from his standpoint so hopefully he returns. Anywhere can turn into an adventure since everything pretty much becomes an entirely separate world when you shrink. Was going to suggest setting it during Christmas but a Nick TV movie used that exact idea. It was ok actually. I don’t remember the original very much. Been a long time. I remember 2 and 3 more. Oh I totally forgot about the movie Downsizing. I wanted to see that.

I don't think it falls apart upon re-watching at all, which is something I can't say about too many kids movies. The sequels, though... eh. I know I saw Part 2 at least twice because I rented it, but I wasn't very impressed. If I thought it was lame at age 9 I probably wouldn't like it much more now. I actually wasn't quite so cynical back then, if you can believe it.

There was also a TV series Honey, I Shrunk the Kids: The TV Show in 1997. It lasted for 3 seasons.

I knew there was a show but I'm amazed that it lasted THAT long. I had no idea. I think I saw one episode and didn't care for it.

I watched the original like 2 years ago, it holds up surprisingly well. I always loved that section based on honey I shrunk the kids at disney world.
I remember watching the sequel on vhs once, don't remember much, it wasn't on netflix so couldn't rewatch it. Third one I didn't even know existed, looks like a DTV movie. Apparently there was a tv show in continuity with the movies as well. I don't see how a sequel can be made though and be interesting but whatever, the original is still good. |

I remember the show being really cool. It focused on Wayne's other inventions and there was almost always a villain of the week to deal with; like what they did with Quack Pack. Being a one hour show gave them more time to tell the story which helped.

Moranis has closed his deal. Done deal, then. It's happening:
