He got the rare gift of seeing what being an adult is like and then get to go back to being a kid again so he can appreciate it that much more.
And by rare you mean impossible
Nah see, once you become an adult there's no really going back. You know too much and you'll lose you childhood innocence.
I'd give anything to re live those childhood years again. But with the knowledge i have now. I'd troll my teachers so hard....
Any kids watching this all I can tell you is to enjoy your childhood, seriously enjoy every single moment of it.
Being an adult is more freedom, but much more responsibility than being a child/teenager. The moral of this film is ‘don’t wish your life away!’
It was spoofed in a Peanuts comic strip where Lucy asks if you could be big tomorrow, would you miss your childhood? Charlie Brown sees bullies and a paper with a fat F and answers her "What to miss?"
@@thomaspaull2594 lol That's why I don't miss a lot about my childhood and going to school.
I do miss high school though.
I was 8 yrs old when this film came out and now I'm 42.Evertime I go back and visit the neighborhood I was raised in as a kid and see my old school it brings a tear to my eye because I feel the way Josh felt when he was looking back at his old childhood memories.And it makes me even sadder knowing we can't ever go back and relive our childhood ever again the way Josh did.The moral of this film is never take your childhood for granted.
"Old childhood memories". What old memories? They were from like a week ago😂 he didn't grow up, time didn't pass, he just missed living like what he still is, a kid.
@@Romy---except time did pass for him, he was like a child that grew up too soon. u must’ve forgot he was like that for six weeks and gained a multitude of adult experiences, so in a sense those were like old childhood experiences from him except that he had a chance to go back
Youth is wasted on the young
That's right. The other moral is, be careful what you wish for.
You can still have memories from anytime even if it was yesterday.I have memories from even a few minutes ago LOL 😂@@Romy---
I’m only 19 and this already brings a tear to my eye.. growing up blows!!
Tyler Tilwick it really truly does 😫
I know how you feel I watch kids next door it brings up some many happy memories.
I'm 47 soon and I was only 14 when the movie was made. Loved it in a time of my BMX and BMX track, Commodore 64, Colecovision, Atari 2600, Riding my bike 10kms finding things along the way to a Fishing spot, Games Arcades... etc
Wish I could get it all back. All I can do is load up my old Computers to relive something 👍
Enjoy it!!!
Wait until you’re 30 😩😭
The message is to enjoy your youth
too late
TheMasterQuests childhood goes by fast... Don’t blink.
And the moat important message of the film, be careful what you wish for.
seems like the movie is mostly geared to adults tho
Jesse like me more in touch with your inner child
I always cry at the ending of this movie where he says to Elizabeth Perkins charcther that he will always think of her and then he gets out of her car and this sad music plays and we see him going back to being 13 in the end. It really hit me hard.
One of my favourite Tom Hanks movies. I think we all are a kid at heart.

Twelve-year-old Josh Baskin, who lives with his parents and infant sister in Cliffside Park, New Jersey, is told he is too short for a carnival ride called the Ring of Fire, while attempting to impress Cynthia Benson, an older girl. He puts a coin into an unusual antique arcade fortune teller machine called Zoltar Speaks, and makes a wish to be "big". It dispenses a card stating "Your wish is granted", but Josh is spooked to see it was unplugged the entire time.

Josh is an idiotic character, but you do feel sorry for him in this scene.
Why is it when you are a kid you cant wait to grow up- and when you are past 40, you wish the time never went by so fast. It's amazing when u are in grammar school..how slowwww the months seem to go by. Mostly because you are waiting for Christmas or summer vacation, but when you are an adult you constantly say things like "I cant believe it's been 10 years since" this..or that... I think what miss the most about that age is the imagination you have...things you can come up with playing with friends...or just playing by yourself in your room...When you reach adulthood, it vanishes :(
So sad, but that’s reality. I feel the same... even though dome might not had the same upbringing, but looking bsck at the past, does hurt you realising that if I could just go back and enjoy every moment before waking up in adulthood.
Rest in Peace, Penny Marshall. One of the most underrated directors of the 20th century.
“The flow of time is always cruel... its speed seems different for each person, but no one can change it... A thing that does not change with time is a memory of younger days...”
- Sheik, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998)
This is a movie that should be required to be seen by kids today. To say it's special is an understatement.
this movie its part of my life, my childhood spent my afternoons in front of the tv watching over my little brother because my mom had to work, made me the man I am today
One of the greatest scenes ever. Gets me every time.
agree. The music is just beautiful
I’m a millennial, and now being 20 years old, I appreciate my childhood so much more after watching this. I’m so glad my parents didn’t give me a phone or iPad as a kid, and I actually got to know what it’s like to be a kid. I find it so sad how these new kids waste the best years of their life on a phone or iPad, just throwing away time that you can never get back. I’m very thankful that I experienced it because I made memories that last forever...
Millennials were born 1981-1996
You ain’t a millennial dawg
I can agree on this growing up as a kid with a iPad and iPhone I wasted all my life and childhood wishing I can go back
You are gen z
You sound slightly younger than Millennial to me, but if you think like that, then that gives me hope for the future.
Playing in the leaves like the two kids @0:41. I just realized....how much I miss that.
God this scene makes me cry!!! I was a kid in the 1980s and teenager in the 1990s!!! God I want those days back!!! BEING AN ADULT JUST SUCKS!!!
I was a kid in the 80's and a teenager in the 90's, but I don't want to be a child ever again. But I do want the 90's back, but maybe to be in my 20's again
My parents encouraged me to enjoy my youth (despite their instructions to stay home, when I’d rather hangout with friends). Now I know exactly what they meant.
Great movie moment. Thank you for sharing this. I will always enjoy it
Yes we should appreciate our youth but we must remember to tell our kids that they need to appreciate their youth. Because as Tom Hanks himself once said, "Once it's gone, it's gone forever. It's not a bad thing but you'll miss it." All of us need to appreciate life in general. It's not always easy but it's all we got.
I realised this scene was relevant and important to the film when I saw Big as a pre teen and teen.
But only when you've been an adult yourself for a while, do you realise fully how important this scene is to the film, and how much it expresses.
I also see now... this is a picture of childhood and teendom as it should be - free from abuse, full of possibilities. It hits on that level too, as why Josh felt he needed to go back to being a youth. He knew he would always miss out otherwise, on what he needed to have done - those innocent times on the one hand.
Even if it would be painful at other times, as Susan remembers rightly in the film, you need to go through all that time emotionally - not avoid it.
Wonderful film.
I’m 16 and this is probably my favourite film
yes, this is absolutely the best scene. Haven't seen this movie in a long time; a great one. Thanks for posting.
We all wish to be older, when were young. Now that I’m 55, I wish I could relive my time as a child , to see my time with my family with knowledge of how time changes everything
Thank you for uploading this! I've been looking for this scene! Such a wholesome and simpler time the 80s were... :)
Nostalgia is an illusion
FRANCO PEREZ No.
theusagirl um, the 80s were a coked up greed festival. There was just better movies and music!
What I love most about this scene is the ideal Anytown USA vibe. What a wonderful place to grow up in.
This was so beautiful and genius. Really was the best scene
Some people don’t get to enjoy youth, but get to enjoy it with their own children. That’s reality, and not a film.
But this film does show a different dimension towards adulthood if one who has missed out youth.
God bless the youth.
I'm 39 and catch myself driving through old neighborhoods I grew up in, some in other states every couple of years. Seeing childhood houses I lived in for sale online and browsing photos of my old bedroom etc...This scene is so powerful when you are grown up and just would like to go back.
I miss this i thank my mom for such a good childhood growing up in the 90s before all the internet kids these days just wont know the feeling i need a time machine
The part that gets my eyes watery is when he throws the baseball back to the kids and shows them playing ball I think of me and my brother when we were kids doing the same thing until it got dark and we would get “the whistle” from our mom that it was time to come home.
Dang I’m sixteen right now, it’s hard to imagine that I will be a legal adult in two years. I remember watching this movie with my mother when I was seven, she passed away two years later. I just wish I could be six or seven again and go back to the good days.
Oh my gosh I’m so sorry. If you ever need someone to talk to you can always talk to me.
I'm reading this 2 years later, so you're an "adult" now. I'm a lot older than you, but I lost my dad when I was 16. You'll never stop remembering and wishing you could have one more day with them. Hope you have a good and full life.
I'm almost 50 now, and this scene sure hits me differently now than when I first saw this as a kid. 😥
RIP Penny Marshall Thank you your brother Gary Marshall you gave the world so much
when America was beautiful when the world was beautiful I would have liked to live in those years here in America and have enjoyed that golden age of cinema and music
This time was very bad for different people from USSR. It was really bad time.
@@mrgrinch5007not in america
@@elshem122 yeah, i know this, because USA in this time destroyed old world and created new world with USA centric. And we know how USA robbed all countries. But now creates new world, i hope new world will be better than old world .
Being adult sucks is the moral of this movie
Cameron Brown sucks in real life too
No. The point is that there is a time and a place. Hanks was actually torn over choosing to leave his adult life, the woman he fell in love with and being a kid again. Yet, in the end, he realizes that one must experiences all phases of life in order to truly live.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Your right, great scene in a movie full of great scenes
i was 16 when i watched this movie in 1989...now is sep 2023 😞 bring me lots of memories...
Watched this scene so many times, I guess because I feel like Tom's character everyday now...
Love the computer scene it shows game that once stumped us becomes easy once we have experienced adult life. While we might find satisfaction with solving the puzzle, we lose some of the joy with understanding the unknown.
Time is our biggest enemy 😔
@diegolimasilva
"Someone once told me that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives. But I rather believe than time is a companion who goes with us on the journey, and reminds us to cherish every moment because they'll never come again. What we leave behind is not as important how we lived."
- Captain Jean Luc Picard, Star Trek Generations
1:17 as a kid always thought he was throwing the ball at the girl in the car
I also thought that. I didn’t notice it was a baseball, but I thought he threw something at the car, because the girl he liked was with the older guy. Later I heard the kid say”Thanks mister” and realized he threw a ball to the kids playing ball.
I consider myself a film buff. Have seen all the American and European “greats”. This movie will always be in my top 10. It makes you feel so good and you can’t measure that. And this is my favorite scene in the movie. It is so beautiful and makes you yearn for childhood. The score is magnificent. Big is a masterpiece
What on earth are "the european" greats.
Europe is a continent of 44 nations, ethnicities and cultures, the US is just one country.
My favourite scene in Penny Marshall's best film. RIP.
I remember so much from my school yrs and majority are great. Most of my adult life has been simply working and trying to survive, until the ultimate end game. Life is great until its ruined by adulthood.
I always say things like this happens in movies only but the makers of movie are gems thanks for this incredible movie it never gets old .
Every millennial should watch this movie
sammy48 some millennials are already 18 and 19 which means their no longer a kid so their childhood years are over
sammy48 but I get your point
They’d say it’s not diverse enough, racist, sexist, transphobic, bigoted and God knows what else.
The irony? I’m a millennial myself and recognize just how terrible my contemporaries are
Westside Strong yeah this generation is weird
@@JF-bv6vc nah chatting rubbish man🤣🤣 I mean it's the first film by a female director to make over 100m, that's pretty impressive
john denver and the muppets! brings me to tears every time I hear this song.
I miss my childhood grew up in the 90s shit aint the same today i need a timemachine
when she realized he was a kid she probably thought" Im going to prison"
Kevin Schwartz moving into frist apartment
It's the 80's. People didn't go to jail for that back in those days.
Kevin Schwartz I wish I could see the look on her face when she gets slapped with statutory rape charges lol
More like hell
Pretty women still get off easy these days
This is the best scene for sure.
Easily the most memorable and most deeply thought out part of the movie.Probably the woman director's touch.
una de las mejores peliculas de tom anks
This makes me miss my friends from my childhood who have since moved away or went away to college
What a great film prob one of his best films ever!
Non vedo l'ora Marco che arrivi l'autunno è bello Marco vedere a Ferrara le foglie gialle e rosse qui a Pescara Marco questo non esiste
Realest movie ever!!! In Life time goes by just like that !! One minute you wished you were grown !! Next thing you know you’re wishing to be young again !! Life 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ One ☝🏾Day you’re here the next Day you’re Gone !!!! UgK said that ..... look it up
I miss being young
I actually remember playing in leaves sheash time flies !!!
This scene FUCKS me up everytime...
This movie hurt so bad 😢
HA, that's me in the red sweater at 00:40
Wow really? How old were you then? Are you still acting? This is amazing. X
Really why isn’t the kids name Benjamin in the credits for the boy in red sweater playing with leaves ??? Hmmmmm.
@@kingsway757 Some people are uncredited in movies.
@@maxxh5331 what are you talking about ? Did you read my comment or just go and assume something ? I said in the credits the boy in the red sweaters name isn’t Ben. SMH.
@@kingsway757 I read it different and you really don’t have to be mean.
You're only young once. And it goes fast enough already.
This movie is amazing! When will somebody do a "big" and Notorious BIG mashup!
Man the music
He's making a choice, he loves the life he has, but wants to discover the life he has left behind.
Just realized he probably had to repeat a year of school....bummer
I know a perfect alternate ending: Josh wakes up in his bed right after he had rushed into the kitchen and reunited with his mom. At was all a dream, but also a message from the future: it taught him some very valuable things about being an adult. So he cleans out some childish toys from his room and becomes a better and more supportive friend to Billy (you can see this in the very last scene of the existing movie). He realizes that he does not care much about girls like Cynthia, but when he goes to school he sees a new girl with pigtails, and he immediately knows it is Susan, the woman in his dream. So he and Susan are of the same age for real, and they can grow up together. Wouldn't that be a lovely version?
Would love to see someone play the instrumentals to this live, I’m surprise no one has release it with these instrumentals alone
Its a song called Its In Everyone of Us
@@charliegagliardi7414 yes which you have different covers like David Pomeranz and John Denver, but they don’t have the same instrumental background as what Howard Shore did for the film
Here in autumn 2020
Such a sad scene.
It’s been 4 years since I have been home. I feel like Josh. Looking back, as an adult, there are things that you miss and want to do. But in my case, I can’t go back. If I do, I would be failing to be an adult.
*when you notice this movie was shot at your school*
I’m 19 and already missing a couple of years ago😂
Another way of looking at it is that no one seems particularly bothered he's gone!... Joke, I love this scene.
My first Tom Hanks movie and my 2nd best.
So cool man ad sad man
If Josh’s mom had been there or standing outside her house, then she might have called the police, as she would have thought that was the man, who kidnapped her son. After spending weeks in New York, Josh was feeling homesick and missing his family. I think Josh just wanted to find Zolta and go back to being a kid again, so that he could be with his family.
I don’t miss my childhood, it was horrible. But if we’re all fantasizing anyway, then sure... I wish I could go back and have one of these childhoods lol
i don 't miss childhood either, nothing but fighting and drama - couldn't wait till i turned 18 and was out of there! that's the age I wish I could return to.
I have seen "Big" many times (I have it on VHS still, no less, because I was lucky enough to get a machine that plays both those and DVDs before they were phased out, so I didn't have to buy everything all over again when it all became DVDs only). It wouldn't necessarily have occurred to me to label this as the "best scene" in the film if I hadn't seen a TH-cam video referring to it as such, but on seeing it now, I can see that it is.
There are no words spoken (at least, from Josh's perspective) but you recognise everything as his neighbourhood from previous scenes even before you see his onetime crush, Cynthia at 1:10, who was part of the reason for him making his wish to grow up in the first place (although now he's gone the other extreme of being too "old" for her). If you look hard enough at 0:51, you can see that the school where the photograph takes place has "George Washington Junior High" on the sign: what he told his employer was his own school. That's *his* school photograph and he's not in it. This is quite aside from the boys playing in the leaves and the boys dressed identically to him when he was "their age" as they practise baseball. (He might even know them, but of course, they call him "mister" at 1:21 because they don't recognise him).
I always found this scene poignant (although my VHS version doesn't show him looking at the skyline or entering Susan's house for some reason, but cuts straight from him walking out of the park to Susan looking at him and asking what's wrong), but as an adult who has often revisited the places where I had my childhood around Christmas time, etc., I get that strange Josh-like feeling of how time has passed so suddenly and of feeling like a part of the place and a stranger to it, simultaneously. (It also strikes me that I was younger than David Moscow when I first saw the film, but I'm now slightly older than Tom Hanks was at the time he was in it.)
Anyone know the name of this song played? Especially at the graduation part. Its incredible!
I'm biggest fan of Tom hanks. if I born in a girl that I want to love Tom hanks always
I used to have that game
The worst thing I could’ve asked for when I was a kid, is to be a grown up.
My my my my baseball team is called the Dukes!
Lol
He realized at the end he missed his child hood.
How did Josh possibly think a 16 year old girl would be interested in him. At 13 it's hard enough to get girls your own age to like you needless to say a girl in high school.
He got an accomplished business executive so anythings possible with this young lad.
Because every guy has that "phase" of having a crush on a girl that's way out of their league.
The rest of this scene from 1:45 is cut from Disney +
Why??
Anyone else think the wizards staff was it's beaked head? I haven't seen this movie since the 90s and as a kid I thought the wizard was some avian like being.
Being adult sucks sometimes
Even though Josh is an idiot. You got to feel sad for him in this scene. He misses his family and being a kid and Zoltar transforming him into an adult was the consequence of his wish to be big and that now he's experienced adulthood, he must become a kid again and that you are only young once and he had tough choice to make and that would mean leaving Susan and telling her the terrible truth that he's actually a 13-year-old boy.
1:45 - 2:00 what this a deleted scene or extended? I would like to see the whole thing
It's the extended version of Big.
I wish she went back to Zaltar and wished herself young.
I really would like to know if someone could let me know
1:46 I didn't even see this shot from the Disney Plus version
This is the full version.
@@marcosec6411 So dose that mean Disney Plus re-shot this movie?
@@sidneyorin4555 I don't know anything about Disney Plus, I just imagine they have the classic version of the movie, not the full version.
@marcosec6411 So, does that mean the classic version was the theatrical version and the full version was the Blu-ray version?
@@sidneyorin4555 I only know that the full version is the one that was uploaded to the Internet many years ago and you can download it whenever you want...
How long is that coat lol
What’s the actual name of this song? Can you buy it on iTunes?
th-cam.com/video/Eh2iyYiA3ME/w-d-xo.html
What song is this?
th-cam.com/video/Eh2iyYiA3ME/w-d-xo.html
Wasn't this scene suppose to be longer?
Dave D yes but it happens a lot on TH-cam clips are shortened not just for Big but for many movies
This is the version of the scene as featured in the film's Extended Version.
