25th Anniversary

Honey, I Shrunk the Kids opened in theaters on June 23, 1989, and this Monday will have its 25th anniversary. I remember very well when it came out, I was 21 and had just completed my third (and as it turned out last) year of college. I went to see ten movies in theaters that summer (1989) at four different theaters. One of them was Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, which I did definitly want to see after seeing advertisments for it, and one day in early July, 1989 I went up to the Tower Place theater in Pineville, NC, about an hour from where we lived to see it. I liked it alot and then went back there to see it a second time later that July. I then brought a used copy of it from a video store in 1990 to watch on out VCR, and watched it several times in the first half of the 1990s, including once with my mother. She thought it was allright, but said that it was geared toward children. We then moved in 1997 and I became homeless for years and had no acess to home video, but in September, 2010 I got an apartment and a TV and DVD player, and brought alot of movies on DVD to watch, including Honey I Shrunk the Kids, which I brought in 2013 from Wal-Mart for just 5 dollars. I have watched it a couple of times since, and plan to watch it this July for its anniversary. So happy 25th anniversary to this very good and creative movie.
