Revealing mistake: While Wayne, Diane, Patty, and Gordon are in the laundry basket, Adam and Mitch carry that basket upstairs. When Mitch says, "I bet my parents wish I didn't have a medical problem," the camera turns to follow the boys as they walk up the stairs, and the left wall (with striped wallpaper) of the staircase is missing to accommodate the camera filming from that angle. It's visible again when Mitch says, "And I feel fine." (00:35:35)

Revealing mistake: While Patti and Diane talk next to the spider, in the close-up shot, the web becomes a thick white rope that has nothing to do with what we see in the wide angles.

Revealing mistake: When the boys take the laundry basket upstairs, there's a shot from in front, and one can see none of the four family members is inside. The filmmakers didn't even bother to place toy figures inside.

Suggested correction: No, Patti is not meant to be moving the spider web away in that shot; she is simply reaching for the web so she can cut it with the nail file and free the daddy longlegs. Then, the shot changes before we see her touch it. After two shots of Patti off-screen, we then see her cutting the web. Plus, that screenshot does not convey the "problem."

Continuity mistake: While the four parents are atop Adam's chest of drawers, the red Britannica Junior Encyclopædia behind Adam's Sharkruiser has its spine facing out, and we see its volume 16. However, when Wayne, Gordon, Diane, and Patty are seated inside the Sharkruiser and begin to take off down the track, the Britannica behind them is now volume 20. (00:30:20 - 00:32:15)

More quotes from Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves

Trivia: Due to the financial success of the previous two films, Disney originally intended for this to be a theatrical film. However, after their success with the direct-to-video animated sequels "The Return of Jafar" and "Aladdin and the King of Thieves," Disney decided to make this their first foray into a direct-to-video live-action sequel. Given it was gamble, this decision unfortunately resulted in the budget being lowered substantially in comparison to the previous two films.
