Talk:Attack of the Puppet People

6x size reduction
When Bob and Sally escape, he asks her how far it is to Franz's office. She says it's a mile away; he then says that that makes it about six miles at their current size. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:31, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * There are at least four major problems with that reasoning:
 * 1)It assumes that Bob was making a precise mathematical calculation rather than merely pointing out that it takes them a lot longer to get anywhere at their size.
 * 2)It assumes that Bob has some means of determining their size that is more accurate than any means available to the viewer.
 * 3)Franz repeatedly passes off the miniaturized people as dolls. An adult reduced to one sixth their normal size would still be too large to pass off as a doll.
 * 4)This one is actually a dozen or so problems that can be summed up as one: Through juxtaposition with ordinary objects such as doorknobs and Franz's hands, the film repeatedly establishes that the miniaturized people are much smaller than 1/6 normal size, closer to 1/25 normal size.
 * And on top of all that: How is the exact rate of size reduction relevant to the article?--Martin IIIa (talk) 23:59, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
