CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Josh (Tom Hanks) has a few opinions about the company's new toy.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
More than anything else, 13-year old New Jerseyite Josh (David Moscow) wants to be "big". That's the wish he makes at an odd-looking amusement pier fortunetelling machine. The next morning, Josh wakes up-only to discover that he's grown to manhood overnight! (At this point, the part is taken over by Tom Hanks). Still a 13-year-old mentally and emotionally, Josh decides to hide out in New York City until he can figure out what to do next. He lucks into a job with a major toy company run by kid-at-heart McMillan (Robert Loggia). By cannily bringing a child's eye view to McMillan's business, Josh rises to the top-and in process, he falls in love with fellow employee Susan (Elizabeth Perkins). But he's still a kid, and he'd like to go back to his own world and own body. Written by Gary Ross and Anne Spielberg, Big proved a crucial success for budding director Penny Marshall, who'd work harmoniously with Hanks again on the radically different A League of Their Own. The cinematography was by Barry Sonenfeld, who went on to become a director himself with The Addams Family. That Big was heavily reliant upon the input of Tom Hanks and Penny Marshall was proven by the failed attempt to turn the property into a Broadway musical.

"You don't just walk into a meeting and say, 'bugs.'"

[@paulonius42]

That line always cracks me up! He is so baffled by how Josh did...whatever he just did! :) Sadly, as I write this, the news just broke that John Heard (the "bugs" guy) just died. :(

Robert Loggia usually plays heavies, crimelords and the like. Here, his performance is in total sync with Hanks' childlike wonder. The piano jump scene is pure gold. Wonderful casting.

I love this scene because this shows that you really need people who think outside the box and have a true passion for something instead of people who just see things from a business perspective.

[@finelineguy8733]

Agreed

[@npdavis]

Agreed although it’s probably important to have a small bit of balance if you can. For example: let’s say Josh’s bug transformers idea is popular but the costs to create the toys means McMillan Toys will run into a deficit. You would need someone to look at it to best maximize things on the business side and not just the “bugs!” perspective. You have to have someone considering the fiduciary responsibility. But in the case of bugs vs. buildings, yes this should win. 😂 Maybe they could’ve made the skyscraper transformers the villains like Small Soldiers did when the guys combined their ideas but, you know, before they put military grade microchips in them.

[@rooty]

I think that's the point of the scene, not that josh actually came up with a great idea (which everyone seems to believe). He really did just come to the meeting and say "bugs". The joke is how everyone suddenly treats him like a genius, and the loving, fatherly "great job" from Loggia at the end is just pure comedy gold. Maybe because as a kid watching the movie, you see it from Josh's perspective and it comes across as heartwarming. As an adult I'm afraid to say I see it more from his rival's perspective lol, and the pure farce of everyone's reaction is hysterical. Have you ever had a dog and intentionally ignored it for a moment while heaping excessive praise and attention on your cat just to see the dog's reaction? It's like that but with people lol

[@KeiFox]

As a kid in a man's body, he nailed it perfectly. Kids LOVE bugs and robots. Combine the two of them and you got an instant seller in the toy market. :)

[@p.z.arnott2329]

When I first saw the movie as a kid and this scene came up, I also asked the same thing: Why a building?

[@trinitylivingston1286]

Even as an adult now, I still don't understand why a building??

[@dudetocartman]

@@trinitylivingston1286 I think it's because adults believe that kids like tall buildings or something huge and interesting that grabs their attention to turn into toys. I guess to their research and watching of kids trying the toys out. But to kids, they don't want like adult structures as toys. They want something where it can be not so boring. Kids don't like boring. They want excitement basically. Sometimes adults that were once kids, don't have the thinking of a kid as much anymore to think of something kids would want. Different generations is also a factor. What i guess I'm saying, is adults don't have the picture of kids' minds sometimes and think like adults to get kids to buy their products even though it may not be interesting to kids.

[@VoyageOne1]

Some of the greatest ideas came out of meetings just like this. A skyscraper that simply turns into a robot isn’t an exciting idea in itself, but if the design was reworked and could also fly, shoot lasers and turn into a bug then a child would never want to put it down. Numbers and figures don’t translate into foot traffic.

"Whoa! He is VICIOUS! I don't get it, I don'd ged id.. De de de deh DAH!"

[@anyviolet]

+Biscuitchris7again hahahaha Funniest line in the movie!

[@ricksgarage8069]

Tom Hanks is going to go down as one of the greatest actors of all time.

[@JakeBor]

He likes kids.

[@epicnerull]

I can see this scene as a MEME and Josh just gets kicked through the window.

[@thudthud5423]

Hasbro Exec (with his assistant, watching "Big" and this scene): "Are you writing this down? Why aren't you writing this down? WRITE THIS DOWN!"

[@-M0LE]

This film was good on so many levels

[@jedijones]

Josh: What's fun about playing with a building that turns into a robot? Metroplex: 😭

[@InteractiveIdea]

If only real life was this easy...

[@SwedishSeacon]

Gotta love how a movie from 1988 unintentionally predicts the Beast Wars toyline with prehistoric animals and insects.

[@thatonetimeatbandcamp]

I grew up on this movie. Such a classic..

[@user-gl5ok5pc7k]

Wow 1988 I was 14 when I saw this awesome movie, those were the good days, God I miss those days , everything was so beautiful

[@enricog9540]

One of the best movies ever made! BIG!

[@jayzrat]

Fabulous scene. All of John Heard’s character’s research, analysis and market graphs destroyed with one word: “Bugs”.

[@blakeslone9731]

And this was the blue print for beast wars thank you Mr.Hanks.

[@GasFayce]

This scene and another where he comes up with the idea of an interactive comic book tablet device, way before tablets were just a thing in science fiction. love this movie!

[@VelvetGal5]

I've seen this movie, "Big" many times. Josh is correct. What is so fun about buildings turning into robots and vice versa? Also, there have been a few times & moments in my life when some individuals make me scratch my head, confuse the living daylights out of me with their words, behaviors, and actions, and make me think, ask, & react like Josh in this video clip with a big "I Don't Get It!" :-)

[@MkeDamian]

Well metroplex is fun considering he's a base-building. And with other figures it's even better, you could put all of them in the city. Same for trypticon considering you can link Him up with motormaster and onslaught

[@agiammarco94]

The difference is this is just a Skyscraper. The other ones have multiple modes

[@ultrakool]

(uses mocking voice) I don't get it, I don't get it, it turns into a bug... lol

[@Lupinthe3rd.]

If you had building that the robots could be smashed into and re constructed then that would be fun for doing like a rampage thing or a godzilla fight sequence

[@manictiger]

So we work jobs we hate, to live in cities we hate, so we can be buried by relatives we hate... I don't get it.

[@onenonlyprincess2]

RIP John who's Line: I don't get it will always be playing in my head

[@dnasty312]

1:15 1:27 1:35 These three lines stick with me

[@teracall]

One of my favorite movies ever

[@nyy190343]

0:31 Me in my mind at weekly meetings...maybe I should say it out loud one of these days

[@OfficerDoofyInTown]

I love how he nailed it because he's a kid. He is literaly one of their costumers and who's know better what they want if not the costumer himself. Brilliant scene and film

[@LevCallahan]

There are a lot of people who watch this movie who've at one point or another mentioned how this is a fun scene but it's obviously not how an actual board of creatives talks about new ideas. And after having been in creative discussions about ideas, this scene is actually pretty accurate. A lot of the time, conversations about creative endeavors are pretty informal and involve bouncing around others.

[@Stanlos]

If you've never seen it, BIG is a great example of movie magic

[@LordDarthSmyth]

I love the off camera, somewhat subtle, "...you could have em' wreck buildings."

[@seanwalden6064]

this must be how Beast wars happened....

[@mikeblazey3906]

Do research b4 u troll 👌

[@mikeblazey3906]

@MrRensoku bc someone already stated its not true

[@xanthromera]

"He could wreck buildings.."

[@jeancarlodelaluz6415]

And this is why we the people that still play know what we want and what other's want. All those expensive classes and big schools don't work in a childs mind, a kid's just imagining and creating while he grows.

[@brontox098]

One of my favourite scenes in the film.

[@scootergeorge9576]

This is a kid suggesting what kind of a toy a kid would want to play with to adults, some of which forgot what it means to be a kid. This is what makes the scene great! Tom Hanks at his best!

[@barriniho]

Josh at 13 was too old to play with Transformers.

[@philiptucker6119]

A robot that turns into a bug was done and pretty successful for its time. The show was called Beast Wars!

[@LaurenGlenn]

A good example of how people making decisions never consult the people who will actually use the product. Also, kudos to Tom Hanks and director Penny Marshall for making you believe that he really is a child in a man's body. You can tell by his movements, facial expressions that he's child-like.

[@user-mf5ki4ks1x]

ビックは、やっぱりいいですね。大好きな映画です。 トムハンクス、ありがとう。

[@LuneyTune72]

RIP Kevin Meaney!!! I had no idea he was in this movie...

[@LuneyTune72]

What do you have against Kevin Meaney?

[@Zoomer30]

I went to a meeting once and just said "bugs" I got fired.

[@DlcEnergy]

this just doesn't happen

[@Zoomer30]

😂

[@celebrim1]

I'm in the software industry. People go into meetings and say "bugs" all the time.

[@jeromychavez6121]

I farted while reading this.

[@jamesentertainment9030]

1:08 when you don't understand something in math class

[@watreehuggers]

one of Heard's best ever (and the movie's best scenes)
