Szalinski's latest project is his attempt to develop a machine that will shrink things, but so far it only explodes things. When his kids knock a baseball through his laboratory window, the ball activates the machine, so that when they go to retrieve the ball they are shrunk to a quarter of an inch high. Wayne sees the mess but not his kids, and he inadvertently sweeps them into the dustbin. (Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment)

When I was a kid, I understandably loved it – there aren't many things a child wants more than to spend a day in miniature in a world of giants. After the years, it remains a fine adventure, but it would work better as an episode in a series about a mad scientist and his various experiments. The exposition is very long and the heroes are uninteresting, while the part around the shrinking doesn't show that much (the best is the scene with the bee and the fight with the scorpion). Fortunately, at least Rick Moranis has a sufficiently funny face and Johnston knows how to work with environments and special effects, so it all sort of passes harmlessly and entertains.
