Honey, I Blew Up the Kid is a 1992 sequel to the 1989 film Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. The film stars Rick Moranis as Wayne Szalinski, whose two-year-old son is exposed to his growth machine, causing him to grow to an enormous size.

Daren Dochterman was credited as an illustrator on the production. Dochterman was tasked with creating many of Wayne Szalinski's inventions, as well as Adam Szalinski's stuffed toy, Big Bunny. Dochterman states that the Muppets were an influence in his design, with Jim Henson's Creature Shop building the various sizes of the ever growing "Big Bunny" stuffed toy.
