He’s baaaaack! The Internet was treated to a true delight today when Rick Moranis popped up in a Mint Mobile commercial with Ryan Reynolds. Moranis is known for an array of classics such as Ghostbusters, Spaceballs, and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, but he has not starred in a film since Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves! came out in 1997. At the beginning of the year, it was announced that Moranis would be making his triumphant return to acting in Disney+’s Shrunk, another installment to the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids franchise. However, Moranis’ fans got to glimpse the actor sooner than expected! After the commercial dropped today, the Internet started freaking out about the actor’s return to the spotlight.

Please Let This Continue
I hope @VancityReynolds has begun a trend of paying Rick Moranis good money just to show up and be Rick Moranis in things. For no reason other than the reason of Rick Moranis. Because Rick Moranis. #rickmoranis

Rick Moranis appearing in a random commerical, however silly it may seem, feels like a damn good omen for the rest of the year. I don’t make the rules. https://t.co/9M6XcUrIYQ

Throwback
Rick Moranis has brought a much needed smile to the miserable face of 2020. So get ready to grin like an idiot at John Candy, Eugene Levy, Dave Thomas, Joe Flaherty and Rick Moranis as the 5 Neat Guys.

“A Blessing”
I will support Rick Moranis in everything he does until the end of time. The man is far too good for us, and yet he came back anyway. A blessing. https://t.co/wlKuC3qkh7
