If you’ve subscribed to Disney Plus, you’re likely enamored with shows like The Mandalorian. Meanwhile, for parents, the excitement runs deeper: Disney Plus is resurrecting beloved ’90s classics right in our living rooms. This journey back to our childhoods feels more immersive than ever, offering an array of nostalgic content that has taken us by surprise and filled our homes with joy.
Disney Plus provides access to every Disney film imaginable, including Avatar for late-night viewings after the kids are asleep, and every Star Wars installment. However, above all, it has truly brought the ’90s back to life.
Gummi Bears
You might think your kids would enjoy this classic, and indeed you remember loving it yourself. You can probably still hum the theme song! But oh, how quickly we forget that Gummi Bears, while iconic, can be quite grating. I’ve had to escape to another room when my children decide to watch this show, which involves an odd mix of characters and their never-ending quest for Gummi Berry Juice—a plot that honestly makes little sense.
DuckTales
The catchy theme song is still stuck in my head, and thankfully, Disney Plus has both the classic and the reboot for your kids to enjoy. Scrooge’s shenanigans and Launchpad McQuack’s antics have taken over my household, but after countless reruns, I might need a break from them.
Chip ‘N Dale Rescue Rangers
These pint-sized detectives were beloved for their crime-solving adventures, and yes, their infuriating theme song is back to plague our ears.
Darkwing Duck
This superhero was the “terror that flapped through the night,” and my kids are now hooked on his adventures. It’s amusing to see nods to Batman and other iconic characters. The city of St. Canard is practically a carbon copy of Gotham City—what a delightful throwback!
The Sandlot
This classic film brings back memories of carefree childhood days. While it tells a heartwarming tale of friendship and summer adventures, it does have its cringe-worthy moments regarding gender roles and certain scenes that have not aged well. Despite this, it’s still a must-watch for any family.
Gargoyles
An innovative show for its time, Gargoyles tackled slightly darker themes with complex narratives. It’s interesting to see how what seemed intense back then now feels quaint, but it remains a standout from the ’90s.
Cool Runnings
A true story about the Jamaican bobsled team, this film features the late John Candy and is full of memorable quotes that never get old. Thank you, Disney Plus, for bringing this gem back!
Home Alone
This film is a delightful mix of comedy and absurdity. Who could forget Macaulay Culkin’s iconic performance? Your kids will love the antics of the Wet Bandits and the classic one-liners that still make audiences laugh.
Doug
Our favorite awkward kid is back! Doug navigated real-life challenges in a sweet and relatable way, capturing the essence of childhood that we didn’t even realize we missed.
Disney Plus has something for everyone, and these nostalgic shows and films are just the tip of the iceberg. For $6.99 a month or $69.99 a year, you can dive into a treasure trove of animated classics like The Little Mermaid and Aladdin, as well as series like Boy Meets World. Disney Plus has truly delivered our childhood back to us, and for that, we are grateful.
