Matt Frewer, old "Max Headroom" himself, gives his goofy, macho neighbor some wonderful comic touches, and Marcia Strassman and Kristine Sutherland, as their respective wives, are also good. The four kids, who are the real focus of the film — Thomas Brown, Jared Rushton, Amy O'Neill and Robert Oliveri — are believable and amusing. But Moranis is the one who holds it all together, and he gives much more dimension to his character than is written into the script.

"Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" is rated PG for violence.

-"TUMMY TROUBLE" is a Roger Rabbit cartoon that precedes the feature, a rapid-fire fully animated short in the same style as the manic cartoon that preceded "Who Framed Roger Rabbit." And just so you remember that these characters are actors who live in Toon Town, the end of the 7 1/2-minute short offers a funny live-action/animation punchline to keep the myth alive.

The cartoon is so wild and fast you can't possibly take it all in in just one sitting, which is both good and bad. The audience at the screening I attended didn't seem to fully understand what it was they were seeing and consequently seemed a bit stymied by it all.

This may be a bit intense for very small children, but others should love it. For myself, I'd like to see it again if only to catch all the little in-jokes I'm sure I missed. Those I didn't miss included the hospital doors for everything from zoology to archaeology, the insurance vending machine in the lobby, Jessica Rabbit's cameo as a nurse, Mickey Mouse's shoes, a surprise visit by Droopy . . .

Suffice it to say, "Tummy Trouble" is one wild ride. And it just may have you yearning for another Roger Rabbit feature. In the meantime I'm happy just to have cartoons in the theaters again.

"Tummy Trouble" is rated G.
