Ant-Man and The Wasp may not be the most interesting MCU characters but they have the most unique superpowers out of most of the Avengers. Shrinking and growing themselves while also shrinking and growing anything else? AND communicating with different races of ants who have their own "powers" and using them as sidekicks? That's so freaking cool!
Stuart Little could’ve been included here as well. I would imagine that they used references to have the everyday objects that Stuart interacts with portrayed correctly from his perspective. Then used CGI (provided by Imageworks mostly) to create the design for the animal characters. Used references of household cats for the CGI of snowbell and his temporary allies. The washing machine scene probably had a storyboard overlay of Stuart inside it and had it converted to CGI. The live action actors interactions with Stuart would probably be done with objects that could serve as a placeholder for Stuart before CGI was added to have him appear interacting with them.
Dem, great video! Now what if there was a sequel to this called "The VFX of Getting Big?"😅 Movies/shows like Monsters Vs Aliens, Attack of the 50 Foot Woman/Cheerleader, and more. Heck, I've even seen some music videos that have great size-difference moments. Though this is only a suggestion.
It's such a fun concept that usually inspires unique ideas. There needs to be more shrinking/borrower media of all kinds, more than just the occasional movie every other decade
Great video. You missed the German Trilogy that includes: -Help, I shrunk my teacher (Hilfe ich hab meine lehrerin geschrumpft) -Help, I shrunk my parents (Hilfe ich hab meine eltern geschrumpft) -Help, I shrunk my friends (Hilfe ich hab meine freunde geschrumpft) They have very good visual effects too. There's also a German movie called "Wiplala", from 2014 where a guy and a family are shrunk Also, the finnish movie Jill and Joy's winter (Onnelin ja Annelin talvi) movie features a miniatures sized family, it also has a sequel whose name I don't remember
The only 2 examples that you missed that I can think of were the 1964 Doctor Who serial Planet of Giants and the 2000 film Thomas and the Magic Railroad.
Don't think he mentions '60's tv Land of the Giants - which is a massive oversight when you think of it - but also, if you're a Dr Who fan, Nick "Brigadier" Courtney appears in a fun shrink-ray episode of The Avengers, alongside Steed and Mrs Peel, called Mission... Highly Improbable
Good video, one you missed however was Dr. Cyclops from 1940, nominated for an academy award and created by the same team that did King Kong, it remains one of the best examples of forced perspective and use of oversized props.
Have you seen Georges Méliès's 'Le Voyage de Gulliver à Lilliput et chez les Géants' (Gulliver's Travels Among the Lilliputians and the Giants)? It's possibly the first film to use forced-perspective for the tiny people effect, as it was produced in 1902.
Another thing example of shrinking and miniatures are: Totally Spies, Forest Fairies (2015 movie), Tinkerbell movies, Maleficent & Maleficent 2 Mistress of Evil, and Once Upon A Time.
classic Polish movie "Kingsajz" (pronounced "King Size") has a ton of very creative tiny scenes with tiny people. not sure if it ever got an international release but if it did I highly recommend checking it out.
Disney had the chance at doing another honey I shrunk the kids installment but they rather make countless unnecessary remakes of more popular movies even some of them isn't old enough to be nostalgic.
If you're gonna do vfx of expanding next, here are some movies: Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, The Amazing Colossal Man, Gulliver's Travels 1996, ultraman, honey i blew up the kid, Dude, Where's my car?, Jack the Giant Slayer, Antman again and a whole bunch of kaiju movies
That epic scene from when Dwayne Johnson (the rock) and the cast rode a bee in journey to the mysterious island was probably inspired by "honey I shrunk the kids"
I think you needed at least a montage clip of Doctor Shrinker, a component of the Krofft Supershow (1970s Saturday-morning live-action variety show). He's a madman with an evil mind!
Didn't Horton technically had a cartoon animated imagination of a tiny person turned family of tiny people HANGING ON TO THE SPECK OF DUST FOR DEAR LIFE AS IT FLIES AROUND AT COMET SPEED?!?!?!
What about one of the earliest depictions of miniature persons, _The Bride of Frankenstein_ where Dr. Frankenstein is enticed by the other scientist with a bunch of miniature people in glass jars? And then there are a number of _Fantastic Voyage_ homages and spoofs on things like _Rugrats_ or _Futurama_ or an old episode of _The Twilight Zone._ _Star Trek_ has done miniaturization twice so far in _TAS: “The Terratin Incident”_ and _DS9: “One Little Ship”._ Also, some of these are just a matter of people already tiny rather than miniaturization.
If my books had been made into movies, they would have been definitely be included here. I'm currently writing Fairy Girl, and with the protagonist Ariel Fair being a five-inch-tall fairy, there's a lot of effects that the movie could use. First of all, there is the size difference between Ariel's parents, a 5-foot-8 human father and a six-inch-tall fairy mother. Stuart Fair could hold his own wife Sasha in his hand, and Sasha could sit on his shoulder or hover near his face. One time Ariel watched her parents kissing, she told her Dad not to swallow her Mom, and Sasha agreed that she would be a choking hazard. Ariel's a student at a normal human school, so just think about the idea of a five-inch-tall fairy with bug wings attending class with regular ninth-graders. She has to stand on her desk and hold her pencil like a mop. And not to mention the way she flies through the hallways. Until she got a new cartoon bag from Toon Girl that she could store in a pocket dimension, she had to carry a big bag everywhere. She looked like a bug carrying a bag. And when going from the third floor of her school to the first floor, she skydives between the railings. She gets caught by the crazy janitor Gordon in a butterfly net. Rather than fight Gordon, Ariel decided to sit on the security camera and smugly cross her legs until the principal comes to take Gordon to his office. After grocery shopping Sasha would die from a gunshot wound, and she's too small for the doctors to operate, so Ariel becomes the superhero Fairy Girl to find her mother's killer. And well, Fairy Girl fights like the Wasp with blasts from her hands called "fairy bolts." But a more impressive feat she's done is lifting a pair of robbers in their armored truck. Yes, fairies have super strength. They are practically the Kryptonians of my world. And Ariel's strength helped her hit Blade Runner with a lamppost. Um... Not the movie Blade Runner. The former barber in titanium samurai armor running around threatening to cut people up with scissors, Wolverine claws and swords. And fairies are weak to titanium, so Ariel couldn't get close and her fairy bolts were useless against the Blade Runner's armor, so she hit him with a street lamp he cut. She also used her strength to throw Rubber Girl's supervillain Boulderman off balance after taunting him into stepping on him. She accidentally threw a student off the stairs at school when she tried to climb them when her wings were crippled. However, Ariel cowered in fear when her classmate Lindsey Fallon threatened to step on her. The battle with Boulderman was started when Ariel was slingshot off Rubber Girl's fingers into Boulderman's hair. And when Ariel found her mother's killer Buzzkill at a bar, her neighbor's dad Maurice Jones had to smuggle her in his pocket. Ariel has ridden in a lot of pockets in the book, like her father Stuart's and practically all the Jones family. And on her way to the basement, Janet Khan just barely stepped on her, missing because of her high heel, but Ariel ducked under her shoe. Buzzkill held a meeting for the Killer Bee Gang in the basement, and Ariel watched from a shelf of booze. When they spotted her, she attacked, but Buzzkill threw her in the trash can. When she got out, Buzzkill put her in the microwave for five minutes. She twisted her ankle as she ran on the spinning plate, and the heat made her into a Super Fairy with her brown hair turning blonde. But Buzzkill trapped her in a case with green krypton titanium, which is practically Kryptonite for her. Buzzkill took her up to the roof and curbstomped her, leaving her wings crippled. With Ariel unable to fly, Stuart decides to become Captain Fair, only to get kidnapped and human trafficked. With her mother dead, father missing, wings clipped, and no keys to her own house, Ariel had to stay with her neighbors, the Joneses. And while Ariel slept in a dollhouse in her house, while living with her neighbors, she had to sleep in the dollhouse in their 5-year-old daughter Lola's room and the 14-year-old twins Matt and Latisha who happened to be classmates helped her get to class. There was one point where Ariel fought a mouse. And when Ariel does find her father, she had to be the white queen in a chess game. There is so much effects needed for Ariel's small size. And for an interesting note, when I started writing Fairy Girl, I originally had it so that fairies were sizeshifters. But after finding how inconsistent Ant-Man was about shrinking and struggling to figure out how Ariel could shrink her clothes with her, I decided to cut the sizeshifting power and make all fairies permanently small. It became much more interesting with Ariel at her small size anyway and made it a physical challenge when she was grounded or crippled.
I gotta be honest, while this isn't bad by any means, it seems less focused than usual. The idea of "how people are shown to shrink" makes sense, but something like Horton or Magic School Bus where the medium means there's nothing they did all that differently from normal means those segments serve to distract from the main idea. And it's not like there aren't other, very interesting options available. Babes in Toyland, while not as old as the Incredible Shrinking Man, used the concept very interestingly with the massive toy fight -- I'd have loved to see how they managed that.
You forgot Ben 10! In his live action movie Alien Swarm, he unlocks Nanomech who has to enter a person's brain by shrinking small enough to fit between neurons.
Actually,the master had a weapon specifically used to shrink people now that i think about it. Oh yeah and in the classic era at the very beginning the Tardis crew got shrunk.
19:51 I love how The Boys is just a giant red blur. You put a millisecond of that scene and TH-cam will slap you with an age restriction
Well that’s bs for TH-cam to do
If you know you know.
@@DuddleBug5You do know what that scene is of… right?
Yeah and gen V has half the screen covered
What happened in that scene?

Totally, but look at the latest ant men. Everything could’ve been done more creatively.
back when the MCU made movies worth watching now we got movies like madam web

@@2muchgame.69i agree that the mcu has gone downhill but madame web isn't mcu
@@catapultato1733 oh my bad
Who agrees with me a video of the evolution of growing in in size is perfect and interesting

Ok, but like 0:08 “I’ve always loved movies about people going inside people”… Me too, man, me too.
I love how you just completely blurred the boys lol
Dem, great video!
Now what if there was a sequel to this called "The VFX of Getting Big?"😅
Movies/shows like Monsters Vs Aliens, Attack of the 50 Foot Woman/Cheerleader, and more. Heck, I've even seen some music videos that have great size-difference moments.
Though this is only a suggestion.
Great choices.
_Food of the Gods_ based off the H.G. Wells novel of the same name.
Definitely gotta include I’m A Virgo in that.
"WHAT IF WE WERE ALL JUST INSIDE A CAPRI SUN?!"
I'm DYING 😂
I too love movies about people going inside people
🤣🤣
Well, good thing Hollywood is on no shortage of THOSE...
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I like how you called it getting tiny instead of shrinking.
I love Arietty and the whole concept of the borrowers :)
Agree
It's such a fun concept that usually inspires unique ideas. There needs to be more shrinking/borrower media of all kinds, more than just the occasional movie every other decade
Finally I have found someone with a very similar obsession thank you for this
I love your videos man. Informative, funny and inspirational at the same time. Great storytelling. Thank you!
Chillest guy ever
"Its been strange working with blue screen" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's the way he says it lol.
Great video about shrinking! Oh yes, Babes in Toyland, the 1961 version had some decent 'shrunken man' effects 🙂
Very enjoyable and educational video. I am surprised you didn't talk about Night At The Museum, Stuart Little or Gulliver's Travels.
19:47 slightly covering it
Great video.
You missed the German Trilogy that includes:
-Help, I shrunk my teacher (Hilfe ich hab meine lehrerin geschrumpft)
-Help, I shrunk my parents (Hilfe ich hab meine eltern geschrumpft)
-Help, I shrunk my friends (Hilfe ich hab meine freunde geschrumpft)
They have very good visual effects too.
There's also a German movie called "Wiplala", from 2014 where a guy and a family are shrunk
Also, the finnish movie Jill and Joy's winter (Onnelin ja Annelin talvi) movie features a miniatures sized family, it also has a sequel whose name I don't remember
Wiplala is a dutch movie
@@karinneeskens Thank you, I didn't know it
Two things, they always get wrong: liquids's surface tension and, you need a breathing apparatus (lungs wouldn't be able to process air molecules)
Idk about the breathing apparatus unless we’re talking microscopic
"every since i was little, i loved movies of [...] people going inside people..." 🤨🧐
This is my jam!
fantastic job dude!! keep doing more
The only 2 examples that you missed that I can think of were the 1964 Doctor Who serial Planet of Giants and the 2000 film Thomas and the Magic Railroad.

Wow~ A lot of classic 🍿
"people going inside people"
Yeah, I dig that too
I like tiny stuff this was a great video! It would be cool to shrink down and fight various animals.
Good video, one you missed however was Dr. Cyclops from 1940, nominated for an academy award and created by the same team that did King Kong, it remains one of the best examples of forced perspective and use of oversized props.

I have not. Good call

I’m surprised Gulliver’s travels didn’t make the list
Not a lot of behind the scenes footage, so could only fit it in the montage.
Hope you make more movie breakdowns, I miss them

I love how The Boys just got a big blurred screen but we know what scene it is
Its burned into my brain
Such a well informative video, I too am a fan of the niche in film. There's so much work put in to achieve those results. I'm still learning myself.
🙏
If you're gonna do vfx of expanding next, here are some movies:
Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, The Amazing Colossal Man, Gulliver's Travels 1996, ultraman, honey i blew up the kid, Dude, Where's my car?, Jack the Giant Slayer, Antman again and a whole bunch of kaiju movies
Lotta good options 👍
Within 5 seconds of the video, I was already relating to this narrator
Awesome video. Thanks!
Shrinking rae should've been in this cuz it is really creative and somehow realistic
horton shake booty
"horton bout to make me act up" haha
That epic scene from when Dwayne Johnson (the rock) and the cast rode a bee in journey to the mysterious island was probably inspired by "honey I shrunk the kids"
