10. The Three Musketeers (1993)

The film is loosely based on the 1844 novel The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas, but this Disney adaptation simplifies and alters the story. We get to see Charlie Sheen, Kiefer Sutherland, Chris O'Donnell, Oliver Platt, Tim Curry, and Rebecca De Mornay in a comedy following the adventures of d'Artagnan as he joins the three main characters to become a musketeer. They end up fighting together against an evil and seductive royal advisor envoy who tries to overthrow the France crown.

The first movie in the Toy Story saga launched in 1995, introducing some of the characters kids and adults alike loved throughout time: Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen), Mr. Potato Head (Don Rickles), Bo Peep (Annie Potts), Hamm (John Ratzenberger), Rex (Wallace Shawn), and Slinky Dog (Jim Varney). Toys come to life when humans are away, and we see the relationship between an old-fashioned pull-string cowboy doll and a modern astronaut action figure as they evolve from rivals to friends.

8. Flubber (1997)

Flubber is one of the Robin Williams jewels, a science fiction comedy where we get to see the late actor play the role of the mad scientist Professor Philip Brainard. He's on the verge of inventing a new energy source - but instead creates a mysterious green goo he calls Flubber. Its elastic property makes it stick to anything and bounce off super fast, so maybe it could actually be of help to the professor.

7. James and the Giant Peach (1996)

This is a beautiful animated adventure movie combining live-action and stop-motion animation. It is based on the 1961 novel of the same name by Roald Dahl and produced by Tim Burton and Denise Di Novi, so the story follows young James traveling in the giant peach with the anthropomorphic insects. The film co-stars Joanna Lumley and Miriam Margolyes played James's aunts in the live-action segments, and the voices of Richard Dreyfuss, Susan Sarandon, and David Thewlis among others, in the animation sequences.

6. Anastasia (1997)

This is another great classical animation that tells the alternate history of the lost Romanov Duchess. It's a musical drama that shows an 18-year-old amnesiac girl running from Russia to Paris, hoping to discover her true identity. On her way, she faces con men who wish to take advantage of her likeness to the Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanov and a magical Rasputin as the main antagonist. The critics and audiences praised the animation, themes, characters, voice performances, and soundtrack.

5. Edward Scissorhands (1990)

In another production signed by Tim Burton, we get to see Johnny Depp as an artificial humanoid named Edward, whose creator died before he could finish his work, leaving Edward with scissor blades instead of hands. However, as he's taken in by a suburban family, he falls in love with their kind-hearted teenage daughter, Kim (Winona Ryder). Of course, in this classic '90s movie problems inevitably start to appear as he's seen both as a good man and a monster.

4. Mrs. Doubtfire (1993)

This beautiful movie is as much a comedy as it is drama. Robin Williams, who also served as a producer, stars with Sally Field, Pierce Brosnan, Harvey Fierstein, and Robert Prosky in a story about divorce, separation, and the effect they have on a family. Williams plays the role of a recently divorced actor who creates an elaborate costume and masks to dress up as a female housekeeper and spend time with his children in the light of the divorce.

3. 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)

In a modern adaptation of William Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, this time set in a late-1990s American high school, the story shows new student Cameron (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) trying to woo Bianca (Larisa Oleynik), but her father has strict rules regarding dating. So, he plans to get bad boy Patrick (Heath Ledger) to date Bianca's ill-tempered sister, Kat (Julia Stiles). This is maybe one of our favorite movies as it shows the lively and pleasant character Heath Ledger had, and it's how he is remembered.

1. The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)

This legendary Tim Burton movie weaves Halloween and Christmas in a single odd and educative heartfelt tale of Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town, who discovers a door to Christmas Town. The festive mood wins him over, so he decides to leave the screams and scares behind and take over Christmas Town, endangering Santa. It's up to Sally, the ragdoll who loves him, to fix things and bring him on the right path in order to save everyone.
