Joe Johnston's Honey I Shrunk the Kids comes to DVD with a standard full-frame transfer. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. There are no subtitles, but the soundtrack is closed-captioned. There are no supplemental materials of any consequence. This Disney/Buena/Vista release is difficult to recommend to anyone other than a person on the lookout for family-friendly entertainment.

Stephen Herek directed Married...With Children supporting player Christina Applegate in the comedy Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead. The movie makes its way to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Surround, while a French soundtrack has also been recorded in Dolby Digital Stereo. English, French, and Spanish subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials are limited to cast and crew biographies. This is a minor, but solid release from HBO/Rysher that should satisfy fans of the film, especially when one considers the inexpensive list price.
