    11-year-old was watching the movie Honey I Shrunk the Kids, and it's amazing how well the old practical effects show up. Really seems like effects artists had it down by the 80s, just as CGI ate their lunch.

    Here's my pitch: Let's animate the live action Disney movies. They have these properties to draw from, and instead of making a live-action remake of them like Freaky Friday or Herbie, or a sequel like Hocus Pocus or Mary Poppins Returns, reinvent it as an animated feature. - 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954) - The Shaggy Dog (1959) - Pollyanna (1960) - The Absent-Minded Professor (1961) - The Three Lives of Thomasina (1964) - Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971) - Escape to…

With Blade Runner, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and two classic Star Wars movies, the 1980s was filled with classic sci-fi movies that changed the genre forever. This change was reflected in some great comedies too, many of which spoofed the genre's many tropes. > > Movies like Back to the Future and Ghostbusters showed that sci-fi could be…

    watched Ghostbusters and the 7yo LOVED Rick Moranis. "i want to see more Lewis" he says. "does the cartoon have Lewis???" ... so we watched Honey I Shrunk the Kids and he was a bit disappointed at the low amount of Lewis present in the film. too much kid drama, not enough Mr Moranis.

    Hard to say it's my favorite, but "Honey, I Shrunk The Kids" explains the shrinking ray (and forgive me, it's been decades since I watched it) working by getting rid of the space between atoms, squishing them together to reduce the size of the object. Okay, I'm sure that's patently ridiculous in and of itself. But realistically, even as a kid, I knew enough to recognize that it would mean a shrunken object would still weigh the same amount (volume shrinks but mass does not). No way an ant is…
