The BIG Laughs Start January 6th!
Wayne Szalinski is at it again. But instead of shrinking things, he tries to make a machine that can make things grow. As in the first one, his machine isn't quite accurate. But when he brings Nick & his toddler son Adam to see his invention, the machine unexpectedly starts working. And when Adam comes right up to the machine, he gets zapped along with his stuffed bunny.
"Honey, I Blew Up the Kid," released in 1992, is a delightful family comedy produced by Walt Disney Pictures and Touchwood Pacific Partners 1. As a sequel to the beloved "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids," this film takes the inventive chaos to new heights—quite literally. Wayne Szalinski, the eccentric inventor played by Rick Moranis, accidentally enlarges his two-year-old son, Adam, to a towering 112 feet with his experimental growth ray. The film captures the ensuing mayhem as Wayne and his family navigate the challenges of having a giant toddler loose in Las Vegas, blending humor with heartwarming family dynamics. The plot follows the Szalinski family as they scramble to reverse the effects of the growth ray before the military intervenes. The film cleverly uses the backdrop of Las Vegas to amplify the comedic potential of a giant baby wreaking havoc on the city. From Adam's fascination with oversized toys to his innocent yet destructive interactions with the city's landmarks, the movie delivers a series of laugh-out-loud moments. The special effects, impressive for the early '90s, bring the larger-than-life scenarios to vivid reality, making the film a visual treat for audiences of all ages. At its core, "Honey, I Blew Up the Kid" is a story about family and the lengths parents will go to protect their children. Wayne's determination to save his son, despite the chaos he has caused, underscores the film's heartfelt message. The chemistry between the cast, including Marcia Strassman as Diane Szalinski and the young actors playing their children, adds depth to the narrative, making the audience root for the family's reunion. The film also touches on themes of responsibility and the unintended consequences of scientific experimentation, providing a subtle yet meaningful layer to the comedic adventure. Overall, "Honey, I Blew Up the Kid" stands out as a charming and entertaining sequel that successfully expands on the original's premise. With its blend of slapstick humor, impressive special effects, and a touching family story, the film remains a beloved classic in Disney's catalog. It captures the essence of '90s family entertainment, offering a nostalgic trip for those who grew up with it and a fun, lighthearted experience for new viewers.
