Honey, I Shrunk the Audience

I saw this movie short at the 3D theater Disneyland or Disney's California Adventure in August 2008. It was a fun-filled attraction that shows Wayne Szalinski (Rick Moranis) receiving the Inventor of the Year Award for his shrink ray. If you've seen Honey, I Shrunk The Kids, then you would surely get the clue from this movie short's title that you, the audience of this show, will be Wayne's science guinea pigs when he shrinks you and everybody else while attempting to demonstrate his invention.

The 3D effects were great and it makes you feel you are really part of this funny and adventurous movie with all its objects and animals jumping right out at you. There are also other effects that enhances the attraction, such as air and water being sprayed onto you.

See and experience the attraction for yourself and enjoy the ride!

Grade A

I remember this fondly as a child, seeing it as Disneyland Paris with no real knowledge of the film series that it had been based on.

I wish, having now seen the series, that I could go back in time and have another go.

It's nice that they got the original actors involved too, that's an impressive touch.

Ah, childhood memories...

I saw this twice at Disneyland, once when I was 9 and the other last year. For 3D this is pretty damn impressive, with the effects naturally stealing the show, with the dog sneezing on the audience and the snake opening its mouth scaring the life out of me both times. The storyline was daft but engaging enough which is pretty much the same for Honey I Shrunk the Kids as well, and the acting from particularly Rick Moranis and Eric Idle was very well done. Even the sound effects and music were excellent, and it ended nicely. The only let down was that on my second visit last year, the lip synching seemed a little sloppy on occasions. Still, it was an impressive and well rounded 3D experience. 8/10 Bethany Cox

I'd have to say that "Honey, I Shrunk the Audience" was a decent attraction. The 3D is very well done and there are a few nice surprise that will have the little ones screaming and hollering. The story is simple enough. Wayne Szalinski is receiving a reward for his "shrink ray". Like everything Mr Szalinski touches, something goes wrong and the audience is shrunk to miniature size. Chaos breaks out as Wayne and his family try to figure out how to get the audience back to normal size. Because this is in 3D all kinds of goodies come at the audience, plus some real life effects are used as well. Hehehe.. you'll see. It's all in good fun. It's worth checking out once. The only real downside for me was the wait was way to long. We waiting almost 90mins., with the show only lasting like 15mins. That was ridiculous. Even though it'll be great fun for the kids, most adults probably won't be running back to see it a 2nd time. I gave it a 6 our of 10. We saw this at Epcot. There are better attractions like Soaring and Mission to Mars.

One of the very few rides I enjoyed while visiting Walt Disney World, which royally scammed me of my hard-earned money (which is another story entirely...)

Wayne Szalinkski, played by Rick Moranis, is at it again, as we see animals, which have been through a new invention of his, pop out at us while we watch with our 3-D glasses on.

I took off my glasses at one point to take a look around, and realized how silly everyone in the theater looks, as they turn their heads to meet certain invisible objects head-on, objects which they fear are being projected straight towards them...

If you liked the film, then ride-the-ride, if you ever catch a ride to Disney World, a place I will never go again... 4/5 stars-
