How a bunch of kids managed to book an international trip, get to the airport, and navigate their way through Japan in 1994 is still mind-boggling, but not as much as the fact that the world’s favorite karate brothers would either be in their 40s today or pretty darn close to it.

While Theater Camp showcased a modern-day experience, it does feel like camp-centric media has fallen by the wayside since the ‘90s.

One could argue that D2 is the best of the franchise.

So Dumb & Dumber  isn’t necessarily a movie for those under the age of 13. Still, back in the day, parents were a little more relaxed about viewing, meaning that a bunch of kids were walking around elementary school quoting this Jim Carrey classic and have been ever since.

The Flintstones not only served up a perfect TV-to-film adaptation but also a sick set of Happy Meal toys.

This version of The Jungle Book was perfection.

The animation, the soundtrack, the story: 10s across the board. It’s also still one of Disney’s best.

Child actors aren’t always the best, but this ensemble of pint-sized stars absolutely killed it, bringing the small screen darling to theaters.

Macaulay Culkin truly did it all in the ‘90s, including getting animated.

Disney sequels aren’t always necessary, but no one was mad at The Return of Jafar.

One has to wonder how many kids The Swan Princess inspired to get into ballet once they learned of Swan Lake.
