Talk:List of films featuring miniature people

TV

edit

If you're going to include TV episodes here then you should probably include the classic "Doctor Who" story "Planet of the Giants", the animated Star Trek episode "The Terratin Incident" and a one-off thing from 1985 called "The Galactic Garden". I think there was an episode of "Captain Zep - Space Detective" that featured shrinking, as well.

Oh, and "The Box of Delights", naturally.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.14.30.227 (talk) 07:57, 6 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

The "See also" section had too many TV episodes linked, more than such a section needs. There should be a separate article for TV. The diff listing the episodes can be found here. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 02:44, 17 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Why

edit

Why does this article even exist? For shrinking fetishists, I assume. Boones (talkcontribs)

Probably. However, the prose mentions several aspects that could be interesting to a general audience -- mythological themes, special effects, and what genres choose to use it -- if only the article was a full-formatted one rather than just a list.

Definition of miniature people

edit

Is this list about normal sized people who are shrunk by extraordinary circumstances, or is it about people (or races) that are a little short? I don't think Hobbits from the Lord of the Rings belong on this list...

I agree about Hobbits, this list shouldn't include fictional characters that are the size of any real people.--Pharos (talk) 18:39, 24 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
There are two reliable sources that support this listing. Editors cannot cite themselves as reliable sources to contest such listings. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 18:44, 24 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
Lord of the Rings is covered at 05:18 in the Wired video. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 18:49, 24 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
After some consideration, the sources are more about the miniaturization techniques, which isn't exactly the same as this article's scope. I have moved the listing to the "See also" section and mentioned how it "used similar techniques". Does that work? Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 19:29, 24 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
