A pair of storyboards hand-drawn by renowned production illustrator Martin A. Kline for Joe Johnston's Honey, I Shrunk the Kids with bound storyboard prints, a credit booklet, and four concept art prints. After accidentally being made miniscule by Wayne Szalinski's (Rick Moranis) shrinking machine, Amy (Amy O'Neill) and Nick Szalinksi (Robert Oliveri) and Ron (Jared Rushton) and Russell "Little Russ" Thompson Jr. (Thomas Wilson) had to survive the jungle of their backyard where they made friends with an ant, whom they nicknamed Antie, and narrowly evaded Tommy Pervis' (Carl Steven) lawnmower.
Honey, I Shrunk the Kids used state-of-the-art visual and practical special effects for its size-related sight gags, which required extensive storyboarding and concept illustration during pre-production. Johnston and his team ultimately received the BAFTA® for Best Special Visual Effects, among other prestigious accolades.
Created by Kline, this lot consists of:
A pair of hand-drawn and hand-colored storyboards with handwritten annotations in the margin and dated for "Aug 14 1987."
A brass-brad bound 32-page collection of storyboard prints depicting the kids' hazardous adventure in the backyard.
