Honey, we shrunk the amazing colossal Lilliputian 50-foot giant!

It's all about perspective. What would the world be like if you were fifty feet tall or six inches small? Sci Fi works have imagined the possibilities since Gulliver's Travels and Alice in Wonderland.

Sometimes it's voluntary, and sometimes a character has great size thrust upon them. The change may be absolute, and caused through technology (like the infamous shrinking ray) or relative, by travelling to a land where your normal size isn't. It could be a part-time size, or a permanent change. It can be a plus or a minus: you could become a superhero, a spy, or a microscopic neurosurgeon; or simply a snack for the family cat.

Here is a small list (but it should always be growing) of changing-sizes Sci Fi:
