Fan Casting Honey, I Shrunk The Kids (reboot)

When kids sneak into inventor Wayne Szalinksi’s upstairs lab to retrieve an errant baseball, his experimental shrink ray miniaturizes them. When Szalinksi returns home, he destroys the device — which he thinks is a failure — and dumps it in the trash, throwing the kids along with it. The four children now 1/4- inch tall, must survive the journey back to the house through a yard where sprinklers bring treacherous storms and garden-variety ants stampede like elephants.
