have been aimed more at adults? considering those guys are otherwise known mainly for gory horror movies with nudity, I wonder what THAT version would have been like? people getting eaten by insects? a guy getting to spy on an undressing woman because he's too tiny for her to see him? Jeffrey Combs as Wayne Szalinski?

It would have been FAR from Disney standards, that's for sure. The kids get chopped up by the lawn mower, Nick getting eaten, and so on.
shareI saw their names in the credits and started thinking the same thing! I'm a hardened horror fan, so it made me feel all nice and tingly knowing that this was the brain child of those psychos.
And yes, Jeffrey Combs would've have been perfect if this went in a more traditional Stuart Gordon / HP Lovecraft direction. God, that would've been a cool movie, but then they mutate it into a Disney movie (a polar opposite for their work), and that concept seems funny enough as is.
Hell, I could see a whole franchise of horror versions of this playing out in different scenarios. And even as a horror fan, I'm still blinded by childhood nostalgia of this movie and consider it a great movie, regardless.
I'm not gonna be buried in a grave. When I'm dead, just throw me in the trash!
yeah, being shrunk down tiny enough to where normal household objects and insects and things can kill you would make for a good straight up horror movie
shareAccording to the trivia section, there was a fifth kid who dies during the sprinkler sequence. One could imagine when The Mouse (AKA: Disney) got involved, it was watered down a lot.
BLACKOUT!
