"Look, my dad's machine works. When we get home and he fixes us all, we're gonna be so rich. You'll regret this." – Amy Szalinski

Why watch this? Four teens are minimized to the size of ants. Now, that's a problem.

Plot Summary: An absent-minded inventor, Wayne Szalinski, accidentally shrinks his and his neighbor's children to a minuscule size with his new experimental ray machine. Accidentally swept into the trash, the four children must brave the now-enormous and dangerous backyard, filled with towering grass and menacing insects, to find their way back home. While the miniaturized kids face perilous challenges, Wayne and his wife search frantically for their missing children, eventually realizing the incredible truth and working to reverse the shrinking process.

Dad's Preview: The real genius at play here is the creative perils that befall the miniaturized kids. The yard's grass is now a forest, simple water drops are a flood, and a tiny insect is a hungry monster! The actors portraying the children did a fine job, as it mostly felt very real. There are many memorable, tender and scary moments. This huge Disney hit, will grow on you.
