Short description

Wayne Szalinski is at it again. But instead of shrinking things, he tries to make a machine that can make things grow. As in the first one, his machine isn't quite accurate. But when he brings Nick & his toddler son Adam to see his invention, the machine unexpectedly starts working. And when Adam comes right up to the machine, he gets zapped along with his stuffed bunny.

What's left behind the scenes

After the film's release, Disney received a lawsuit accusing it of plagiarism from one of the leading television shows, whose creator came up with the idea of a baby enlarged many times over while watching his little granddaughter destroy structures made of building blocks. He wrote a script that was later revised but remained unused. The studio preferred to settle the matter amicably.
In the secret storage facility of the laboratory, one can notice such unusual items as Charles Kane's sled from "Citizen Kane" (1941) and the Ark of the Covenant from "Raiders of the Lost Ark" (1981).
The film debut of fifteen-year-old Kerry Russell at the time.
The scene in which a giant Adam is about to put a car in his mouth and Nick screams, "Adam, don't eat us!" serves as a reference to a similar episode in the original film. In that version, Nick finds himself in the same situation with his father and says, "Dad, don't eat me!"
Amy Zalinski, who was one of the main characters in the original film, received so little screen time due to the initial script concept, which envisioned only one key female role – Adam's nanny. The creators resolved this by showing her leaving the house and going to college at the very beginning of the film. For the same reason, none of the Thompson family appeared in the sequel.
Filming period: June 17th – October 4th, 1991.
The scene where the giant Adam is about to put a car in his mouth, and Nick shouts to him, "Adam, don't eat us," serves as a kind of reference to a similar episode in the original film. In it, Nick, in the same situation but with his father, said, "Dad, don't eat me."
The film debut of Keri Russell, who was fifteen years old at the time.
In the laboratory's secret vault, one can spot unusual items such as Charles Foster Kane's sled from 'Citizen Kane' (1941) and the Ark of the Covenant from 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' (1981).
Initially, the film was not intended to be a sequel at all. The working title was "Big Baby," and the plot centered on an infant who grew to enormous size after accidentally falling into a growth ray field and then terrorizing nighttime Las Vegas. Disney saw a favorable opportunity to make the film a continuation of its hit, and the script was rewritten.
