Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves is a 1997 American science fiction comedy film, and the third installment in the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids film series. The film marks the directorial debut of cinematographer Dean Cundey,[1] who previously served as director of photography for a 4D ride known as Honey, I Shrunk the Audience! which debuted in 1994.[2]
It is the first live-action film by Walt Disney Pictures to be released direct-to-video.[3][4] It was produced on a $7 million budget,[5] and filming took place over a five-week period. The film was released through Walt Disney Home Video on March 18, 1997.[6]
Rick Moranis stars as inventor Wayne Szalinski, and is the only returning cast member from the previous films.[1] Eve Gordon replaces Marcia Strassman as Wayne's wife, Diane Szalinski. Their youngest son Adam, now a pre-teen, is played by Bug Hall. In the film, Wayne accidentally shrinks himself, his wife, and his brother (Stuart Pankin) and sister-in-law (Robin Bartlett) with his electromagnetic shrink ray. The film marks Moranis' most recent live-action film role, though he would continue to do voice-acting for the next several years. He was also expected to reprise his role in the sequel Shrunk,[7][8] which is on hold as of 2023.[9]
