Focus
[edit]It appears to me that there is a significantly unnecessary focus on the sequels/attractions, and not enough focus relating to the sole "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids". I don't find a problem in mentioning the sequels and attractions, but who played this person in a sequel who ended up on "Smallville" or "That 70's Show", etc. is probably not necessary. Again, don't get the idea that I don't want the related shows mentioned, but save detailed descriptions of them for their own pages.71.199.25.62 21:47, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Shrank
[edit]Should the article mention that the grammar is incorrect —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.108.232.88 (talk) 02:13, 7 April 2007 (UTC).
- No, because it's not incorrect. - furrykef (Talk at me) 02:20, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
- Dictionaries are not authorities on grammar, they merely reflect how people speak in practice. In theory, you don't say "I shrunk" you say "I shrank." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.21.221 (talk) 19:47, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
- I will shrink. I shrank. I have shrunk. It's the "have". Just like drink/drank/drunk or stink/stank/stunk. - 75.133.80.44 (talk) 18:54, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

- I came here wondering the same thing. In International English shrank is the past tense of shrink. Shrunk is the past participle. The past participle is the form used with have or had as in I have shrunk the t shirt. Basically, without have the title is incorrect and should be shrank. This is how the verb works in most varieties of English but as this is an American film maybe shrunk is considered OK as the past tense in American English. Tried reading the information on the m-w.com website but, like many commercial websites it's full of adverts and continually reloads the page. Much better to rely on a language source which isn't as commercial like the Oxford Dictionary. Never heard of Merriam-Webster - I presume it is an American dictionary?--151.37.17.63 (talk) 22:51, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
- "Never heard of Merriam-Webster - I presume it is an American dictionary?" - indeed it is ... and one that appears to use the well-known "Molesworth" spelling system. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.7.147.13 (talk) 17:37, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:Honey I Shrunk the kids.jpg

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Astro
[edit]According to http://duckduckgo.com/c/Comedy_science_fiction_films (and various other sites) this film is also called The AstroMind Professor, but not sure where. Is it worth mentioning it on this page, seeing as it is mentioned on the page for the ride?--TimothyJacobson (talk) 22:37, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
- Am going to mention it on the page, with the reference, feel free to remove--TimothyJacobson (talk) 11:05, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
Producer
[edit]In attempting to fix Steven Spielberg's filmography page, I saw that this movie was recently removed from it. As best as I can tell, he produced a short film that ran along with the movie but not this movie itself. I'm not sure exactly how such a scenario should be handled and saw no relevant discussions so I removed the "Movies produced by Steven Spielberg" category for consistency. 173.46.238.149 (talk) 20:16, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
