Rick Moranis is returning to one of the franchises he helped build — 'Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.' A few years ago, THR's TheRyanParker talked with '80s comedy blockbuster star about what it would take to get him back on camera

films . "I was working with really interesting people, wonderful people," says Moranis of his Hollywood heyday before the death of his wife. "I went from that to being at home with a couple of little kids, which is a very different lifestyle. But it was important to me. I have absolutely no regrets whatsoever. My life is wonderful."Moranis didn't make the break all at once, but gradually disengaged from appearing onscreen.

Today he lives alone in a sprawling, art-filled apartment on the Upper West Side . He doesn't keep up with comedy trends but spends his time between voice and writing projects watching ESPN and waging occasional battles with his household electronics. "This morning I was in the Apple store for three hours," he says. I made the mistake of downloading iOS 9.1 onto an old iPad, and all hell broke loose.

TheRyanParker If you find interview footage from the Ghostbusters 2 junket, he absolutely had no interest in talking about Ghostbusters and only wanted to talk about the upcoming first Honey I Shrunk The Kids. So I find none of this surprising.

TheRyanParker This article is 4.5 years old.

TheRyanParker How about, ‘Honey I Schunk the Grandchildren’.

TheRyanParker Happy for this guy (still the best-ever Seymour), but embarrassed by my generation's unending need to remake and reboot every single atom of its childhood.

TheRyanParker I hate Disney for doing this but also love them for doing this ..

TheRyanParker What a great guy! I can’t wait for his comeback...we’ve missed him!!!

TheRyanParker Just gotta love this guy! What a stand up father too.
