Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves is a 1997 American direct-to-video third sequel to Honey, I Shrunk the Kids and Honey, I Blew Up the Kid. It is the last installment in the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids trilogy. The directorial debut of cinematographer Dean Cundey and released through Walt Disney Home Video, it tells the story of inventor Wayne Szalinski as he accidentally shrinks himself, his wife, brother, and sister-in-law with his electromagnetic shrink ray.

Rick Moranis returns to portray Wayne Szalinski. He is the only returning cast member from the previous films. His wife, Diane, is portrayed by Eve Gordon, and their youngest son, Adam, now a preteen, is played by Bug Hall. Amy and Nick have gone away to college and living their adult lives (as discussed between Diane and Adam in the film). It includes Wayne's extended family, including his brother, Gordon, and sister-in-law, Patti. Unlike the first film, where the kids had to get their parents' attention, it's vice versa.

Only a few months after the film was released, Walt Disney Television picked up a show based on the Szalinskis' troubles: Honey, I Shrunk the Kids: The TV Show, which aired on broadcast syndication. It starred Peter Scolari as Wayne. This was the last incarnation of the franchise; this is also Disney's first live-action film to get a direct-to-video release.
