The Making of Walt Disney Pictures' Honey I Shrunk the Kids (1989)

Honey I Shrunk the Kids was a surprise hit in 1989. the film was in the tradition of the family films Walt Disney used to make updated to the 1980’s. This making of special aired frequently on the Disney Channel advertising the film and hasn’t been seen in over thirty years. The production was filmed in Mexico City because the world’s largest blue screen on earth was there. There had never been this type of film produced on this scale before. The heart of the story, however, is about the broken family coming together.

Honey I Shrunk the Kids launched a franchise that included two sequels, a TV series and theme park attractions. Rumor has it another sequel is in the works but on hold.
