If you thought the best Disney movies were from your childhood, you're absolutely right! The '90s marked a special Disney era known as the Disney Renaissance, starting with The Little Mermaid in 1989 and ending with Tarzan in 1999. During those years, Disney treated us to fantastic animated musicals like Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King, Pocahontas, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hercules, and Mulan.

Disney also gifted us with some amazing non-musical movies in the '90s, including The Mighty Ducks, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Cool Runnings, Hocus Pocus, A Goofy Movie, James and the Giant Peach, and The Parent Trap. As if that wasn't enough, the '90s also marked the beginning of Disney's incredible collaboration with Pixar Animation Studios, bringing us Toy Story and A Bug's Life.

In the '90s, many popular shoes were designed for a younger crowd, like jelly shoes, light-up sneakers, platform sandals, Floaties, and Heelys, just to mention a few. While most of these styles might seem a bit outlandish today, back then, your shoes turned school hallways into fashion runways.

Pop music had a blast in the late '90s and early 2000s, thanks to an avalanche of boy bands and girl groups who caused utter chaos with their good looks and catchy songs. Were most of them carefully put together to make you swoon? You bet. And did it work like a charm? Absolutely! Their songs stood the test of time, their dance moves were flawless, and their fashion choices became iconic.

In the '90s, if you rocked bright colors and loud patterns, you were totally on point. But if you were a kid or preteen sporting Limited Too or dELiA*s fashion, you were a certified fashion guru. It always felt like these stores had the inside scoop, leading the way with trends like the tee-under-the-tank combo and those nifty convertible pants that could magically become capris or shorts.

Before the era of one-click streaming, family movie nights required some serious planning. You'd hop into your mom's minivan, head to Blockbuster, and wander through the aisles until something caught your eye. But renting a movie back then wasn't a chore—it was an adventure. For many, a visit to Blockbuster was a treat, and the excitement of discovering if they had your desired movie was a thrill. And if they didn't, choosing an alternative meant taking a chance based on a plot description rather than watching a trailer.
