Long-Awaited 'Honey, I Shrunk the Kids' Reboot Starring Rick Moranis and Josh Gad Falls Apart

  • Josh Gad's attempt to revive the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids franchise for Disney+ has collapsed due to COVID-19 delays, budget issues, and scheduling conflicts.
  • The new sequel was meant to star Gad as Nick Szalinski, the now-grown son of Rick Moranis' Wayne Szalinski, who was set to reprise his original role.
  • Director Joe Johnston and producer David Hoberman were attached to the reboot, called Shrunk, which had been in development for Disney+.
  • Gad suggested fans express interest in the project to Disney in hopes of reviving it.
  • Gad's track record of getting TV spin-offs made for Disney+ is poor, as his live-action Beauty and the Beast prequel was previously canceled.
