Contrary to what all my legal documents say, I was born in 1994. My birthday was in December, so when I was adopted my mom changed it to January 1995. She did this to ensure I don’t have to go through the disrespect of someone asking me if my birthday and Christmas presents could be consolidated into one gift given at some shaky time in between the two. However, I wasn’t the only above average thing to come out of 1994. Right on the cusp of the mid 20th century, some of the greatest films were released out into the wild. The following five films hold a near, and dear place in my cold, dark heart. Not only did most of them mic drop all over the box office, but they also contributed to me becoming the person I am today…as cringy as that sounds. If you haven’t seen these films yet, or haven’t seen them in a while, I encourage avid binge watching of my list.
2. The Land Before Time II: The Great Valley Adventure
I have no words for how much of a landmark movie this was for my life. First of all, if you have not seen any of The Land Before Time movies, you. have. not. lived. There’s nothing better than watching a bunch of adolescent dinosaurs wander around, and get themselves into situations with a CLEAR lack of parental supervision. The first movie was great, but this sequel was amazing because of one character: Chomper. If you aren’t moved by a T-Rex baby becoming friends with his prey, then congratulations, you’re a monster.
