Honey I Shrunk the Kids reboot in the works

Just re-watched this (and sequel) with the kids. They found them fun. Not sure why we need a remake of it though. It still works fine .. and while it could be made WAY more realistic with the use of CGI over practical effects, I think that was part of the charm of the cheesiness of the originals.

Plus .. the movies are all about Rick Moranis -
Just remaking them with CGI -- eh.

Just a shame that Honey I shrunk the Playground wasn't relocated somewhere in DHS. Now that my son and daughter saw the movies they would have a blast in there.
And wouldn't Honey I Shrunk the Audience STILL be a better show at the Imagination pavilion than just showing random Pixar shorts?

Still dont understand shutting down the train ride and petting zoo if all that is happening is refurb of the conservation station.

Couldnt they have kept the train running and just closed the building?
Stlll makes me think (especially with how long it has been closed and the confusion surrounding if this was a permanent closing, or seasonal or a refurb) that they originally had other plans (like closing it down all together?). Was it just a cost-cutting measure that they back-pedaled on?

Do we know if anything else is changing besides what is mentioned in the article?

Geez - I didn't even know it was up yet. I've been watching for it. Was going to post here though don't know that it qualifies as news but I hang out here more than anywhere.

Webmaster Pete invited me on to talk about the availability thread I curate over on the DVC boards and kept me around for the whole recording session of 4 episodes. Looks like the "Resort Only Stay" is the first one up. (Episode 12) That was the first one we recorded - I didn't talk a ton on that one. I should be on the next 3 as well, and there's a good possibility I'll be back for more - so if you watch make sure to leave positive feedback about the group dynamic! (Or negative feedback if you can't stand me.)

Money. Disney saves money by not operating the train and petting zoo.

I’ve definitely been more and more intrigued with DVC through this show. Can’t afford it yet but I’ve been watching them all. Always great to see input from the boards on any of the shows.

Yeah - I'm hoping that maybe the "just a regular guy that owns DVC" will add to the dynamic of having DVCstore and DIS employees on the show and they'll keep me around. I think that's what Pete liked about it anyways.
