Honey, I Shrunk the Kids is an American science fiction comedy media franchise, based on a concept created by Stuart Gordon and Brian Yuzna, and an original story co-written by Gordon, Yuzna, and Ed Naha. The franchise focuses around the Szalinski family, particularly the father, Wayne Szalinski, who is a struggling inventor whose inventions unintentionally causes trouble and mishaps.
The first installment, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989), and its subsequent financial and critical success, led to two sequels and a television series; Honey, I Blew Up the Kid (1992), Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves (1997), and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids: The TV Show (1997–2000), respectively. A fourth film titled Shrunk entered production in 2019 and is currently in development hell.
This continued in 1999 when the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids films, along with a number of other Disney film series, were combined into a franchise as a part of Disney Parks' attractions where elements from each movie were included.
