You’ve jumped on the Disney Plus bandwagon, and if you’re anything like my friend Sarah, you’re glued to every episode of The Mandalorian. For parents, the excitement is palpable: Disney Plus is resurrecting the ’90s, bringing back the cherished memories of our childhoods. Unlike Netflix and Amazon, Disney Plus has successfully infiltrated our living rooms, reviving beloved classics in ways both delightful and surprising.
There’s no denying that Disney Plus is a treasure trove of Disney films. From the latest blockbusters to timeless animations, it caters to every nostalgia-driven viewer. But what truly sets it apart is its revival of iconic ’90s shows and movies.
Gummi Bears
You may have fond memories of the Gummi Bears, thinking your kids would love them too. You remember the catchy theme song and perhaps even owned a plush version of the yellow Gummi Bear. However, nostalgia can quickly turn into annoyance as my kids seamlessly loop this show, leaving me to retreat to another room to escape its quirky antics and confusing plotlines about Gummi Berry Juice.
DuckTales
The infectious theme song of DuckTales is back, and you can enjoy both the classic and the reboot on Disney Plus. My household has been inundated with Scrooge McDuck’s adventures, making me relive the excitement of my childhood as my kids binge-watch it for the umpteenth time.
Chip ‘N Dale Rescue Rangers
These tiny chipmunks turned detectives are back in action, solving crimes with their catchy theme song lodged in your brain. The show is a delightful throwback that continues to charm audiences of all ages.
Darkwing Duck
Revisit the adventures of the superhero who “flaps through the night.” My children and my friend’s kids have fallen head over heels for this show, which cleverly references classics like Batman. St. Canard? It’s a familiar nod to Gotham City, and it’s a must-watch for fans of animated superhero tales.
The Sandlot
When I spotted The Sandlot on Disney Plus, my excitement surged. This film captures the essence of childhood freedom and camaraderie, even if it does have some problematic moments, such as outdated gender stereotypes. Nevertheless, it’s a classic that still holds up despite its flaws.
Gargoyles
This series was a unique, darker offering from Disney in the ’90s, featuring complex characters and storylines. It’s a throwback that reminds us of a time when animated series ventured into more adult themes, a rarity for its time.
Cool Runnings
Based on the real-life Jamaican bobsled team, this John Candy classic is packed with quotable lines that will have you reminiscing about middle school. Thank you, Disney Plus, for bringing back this comedic gem.
Home Alone
This movie remains a holiday staple, filled with hilarious hijinks and the unforgettable Macaulay Culkin. The antics of Kevin McCallister and the Wet Bandits are as entertaining today as they were back then. While my husband insists on ignoring the sequels, they’re all available on Disney Plus for those who dare.
Doug
The awkward yet relatable Doug Funnie is back, navigating the trials of childhood with his crush on Patty Mayonnaise. This animated series tackled real issues in a gentle manner, making it a sweet addition to Disney Plus.
You can access all this nostalgia and more on Disney Plus for $6.99/month or $69.99/year. The platform is also home to animated classics like The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, and the iconic Honey, I Shrunk the Kids! series. Disney Plus has truly delivered our childhoods back to us, and we are forever grateful to our beloved Mousey Overlords.
