You missed out on all the fun if you weren't born in the '90s. Not your fault, of course, but it was a fantastic point in time for music, films, celebrities, and so much more! While you likely know the evergreen films that came out during this decade, like The Matrix, Jurassic Park, and Pulp Fiction, those were just a few of the fantastic productions of the ‘90s.
Today, we want to fill in some of the blanks and take you through the best, yet most forgotten animations of the era. Sadly, these masterpieces have, for most people, drifted into the mental sediment that lies just below the reach of memory. But don't worry, we're not going to dwell on the fact that you’ve lost so much of your childhood in the same way. What we are going to do is remind you of how much fun these films were and rekindle that ‘90s nostalgia in the process.

Quest for Camelot was well ahead of its time. The animated film follows the exploits of Kaylee, whose father, Sir Lionel, is part of the knights of the round table.

We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story was an animated film from the '90s derived from a 1987 children’s book. The story follows a Tyrannosaurus named Rex as he navigates his way into modern-day NYC. Of course, he's got a bunch of cute and quirky dino friends, and that's why it's so good!
Filled with the most meaningful symbolism on this list, Annabelle's Wish was what ‘90s Christmastime was made of. Annabelle is a cute calf given to Billy, a mute boy.

All Dogs Go To Heaven is just one of many animated films that broke the hearts of the '90s kids and generations thereafter. The fantasy-infused musical drama was about Itchy and his best friend Charlie B. Barkin, a charismatic German Shepherd who dies and goes to doggy heaven. Once there, being the thorough good boy that he is, the German shepherd steals a watch that allows him to live on Earth once again.

The Rescuers Down Under was a ‘90s sequel to The Rescuers released in 1977. It’s one of Disney's less celebrated films, but that doesn't mean it's not worthy.

Bernard and Bianka and a new friend named Cody head to Australia to protect a rare golden eagle named Mahute.
Pokemon: The Movie is perhaps the most iconic animation of the whole '90s decade. Even if you weren't a Pokemon card collector, it's impossible not to know of the craze.
