TV Shows & Movies I loved as a Kid but kind of Forgot About
I was most definitely a 90's kid. They don't make shows like they used to... I kind of feel sorry for kids today. They really have no idea what they missed out on... unless they have totally awesome parents who grew up in the 90's and have shared these gems with their kids. Also included, movies I remember watching OVER and OVER 18+ years ago that I probably haven't seen in over 10 years. Good stuff. Good to be a kid in the 80's and 90's.

- CreatorPamela DouglasStarsDavid LópezBlaze BerdahlTodd AlexanderA group of kids solves local crimes, capers, and mysteries in their neighborhood, with the help of a ghost who can only communicate through writing and words.I had completely forgotten about this show until I ran across someone else's list of TV shows & movies that 90's kids would remember. This was a show I pretty much never missed. I had the first 4 episodes on VHS (I think it ran like a mini movie?) This was a smart show that hopefully holds up. I'm going to re-watch via youtube and share this childhood favorite w/ my boyfriend, who has NEVER seen it. RALLY!

- CreatorWill McRobbChris ViscardiStarsMichael C. MaronnaDanny TamberelliJudy GrafeThis delightfully quirky show looks at the lives and adventures of two red-headed brothers with the same name.hard to describe, this is a unique and wonderful series about the love and bond between 2 brothers growing up in the early 90's. i love it for the theme song alone, and i wish we could have had at least another season of weird and wacky tales.
- DirectorNicolas RoegStarsAnjelica HustonMai ZetterlingJasen FisherA young boy stumbles onto a witch convention and must stop them, even after he has been turned into a mouse.Angelica Houston (and her extremely talented makeup artist) grotesquely steal the show in this 90's children's horror classic about evil witches and little boys turning into mice who save the world. Much like the OG Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, The Witches mimics Dahl's tendencies towards memorable characters and creepiness that really appeals to children and sticks in their heads as adults.
- DirectorToshio HirataOsamu TezukaStarsKatsue MiwaRyouko KitamiyaKazuko SugiyamaWhen Unico, a young unicorn, is taken from his family by evil gods, his powers of joy and happiness are put to the test. Can Unico's power triumph the darkness?where else are u going to find a beautifully drawn anime about a magical unicorn who befriends a mischivous devil and an adorable kitty who turns into a selfish girl? How about winds and Gods who want to destroy said unicorn because his power for good is TOO dangerous for this world? Read my review. It still holds up and is absolutely worth tracking down.
- DirectorWolfgang PetersenStarsNoah HathawayBarret OliverTami StronachA troubled boy dives into a wondrous fantasy world through the pages of a mysterious book.a nearly perfect kids fantasy film through the eyes of 80's babies and 90's kids nostalgia. The Nothing as ultimate villain is brilliant. I thought the Child Like Empress was one of the most beautiful creatures on earth, and Atrayu losing Artex still makes me cry to this day.
- DirectorJim HensonStarsDavid BowieJennifer ConnellyToby FroudSixteen-year-old Sarah must solve a labyrinth to rescue her baby brother when he is taken by the Goblin King."Goblin King Goblin King, wherever u may be, Take this child of mine far away from me!" that and "YOU HAVE NO POWER OVER ME" might be 2 of the most memorable quotes from my childhood. Bowie as the Goblin King was HOT. even my 8-year old self knew that. No one else will ever do that role justice. Bowie was made to play him.
- DirectorJanice KarmanStarsRoss Bagdasarian Jr.Janice KarmanDody GoodmanThe Chipmunks compete with the Chipettes in a round-the-world race.OMG i LOVED this movie as a kid. from the nostalgia, to the hilarity of "drunk david" and miss miller, to the unforgettable soundtrack, this was a great movie. i dare u to watch and listen to the Chipette's Mother Song and NOT cry. Got a lump in my throat right now just thinking about it.
- DirectorFriz FrelengChuck JonesRobert McKimsonStarsMel BlancArthur Q. BryanShepard MenkenRival book salesmen Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck are forced by Sultan Yosemite Sam to read fairy tales to his spoiled, selfish son, Prince Abba-Dabba.we recorded this of a TV airing and I nearly wore the tape out. this and Daffy Duck's Quackbusters were the best Loony Tunes movies IMHO.

- DirectorBob HathcockStarsAlan YoungChristopher LloydTerence McGovernScrooge McDuck takes Huey, Dewey, and Louie to Egypt to find a pyramid and magic lamp.just rewatched this with my brother last year. i still remembered nearly every line! it's not a great movie but it's a lot of fun for 90's kids to revisit and 21st century kids to discover.

- DirectorRichard DonnerDavid Mickey EvansStarsLorraine BraccoJohn HeardAdam BaldwinA father recounts a dark period of his childhood when he and his little brother lived in the suburbs.This movie about child abuse and eventually the hope of escape via flying red wagon, deserves a higher rating. It's a tough watch but definitely worth it.
- CreatorD.J. MacHaleNed KandelStarsRoss HullDaniel DeSantoRaine Pare-CoullA group of teenagers meet in the woods, and tell scary stories.The Tale of The Dream Girl was my favorite episode.
