    a new attraction is now showing in paris, florida, california and tokyo----“honey, i shrunk(縮小)the audience.” like the film “honey, i shrunk the kids” the show makes the audience feel very small. have you ever wondered what it would be like to be as small as a mouse? now is your chance to find out!
    when you enter the cinema, you are given a pair of 3d glasses. the film starts in an ordinary way. then suddenly you are the size of a mouse and everything else in the world seems huge! a dog seems ready to jump out of the cinema screen and eat you up! then someone picks up the cinema in which you are sitting, and it feels as if it is moving! the show uses special effects, and sound effects too. in one scene a snake attacks the audience and a cat turns into a lion and jumps at the audience. in another scene the inventor’s son puts his pet mouse into a magic box to make more mice, and suddenly it seems as though a hundred mice are running over your feet all round the theatre!
