They find themselves in the Quantum realm where they have big and small sized issues to deal with.
It is quite funny at times and helps a lot of you have some familiarity with the Marvel Cinematic Universe and it has is and post credit scenes.

This is a film adaptation of the stage musical based on the Roald Dahl book about a girl who has to be a little bit naughty to stand up against bullying behaviour.
It was similar to the stage version but some things were changed – no Michael Wormwood or Rudolpho and the songs Loud and Telly were missing. However it was still a good film.
