Millennial Nostalgia: Best 90s Family Movies to Revisit


If you’re in your thirties with kids, and you’re wanting to expose the magic of 90s movies to them, this post is for you.

You’ve probably found the same as I have – modern movies for kids have nothing on the humour, trauma and pure delight we got from what we grew up on.

From the horror of Mask and Hocus Pocus, to the magic of Matilda and Fairytale, to the absolute hilarity of anything with our beloved Robin Williams in. It’s time to dig out the VHS player and pass on the torch to our younger generation.
