Double check. These old kids movies from the '90s have it all for new audiences and for those wanting to remember their childhood.
We can’t talk about the greatest early ‘90s kids movies without mentioning Home Alone. Macaulay Culkin stars as a child left behind by his frazzled family as they begin a Christmas vacation. When his home is targeted by thieves, he defends it using every zany trick he can muster. Another popular live-action ‘90s children's movie that still stands the test of time is Jumanji.
