It was such a clever idea. <3
A lot of those older fantasy movies were and still are some of my favorites. The Labyrinth, Dark Crystal, Mio and the Land of Faraway. |
I read the book of the Neverending story and eventually, I want to own my own copy of it. *someday* I think the movie still holds up well considering it was a movie back in the 80s. My favorite part in the book was the lion that I wished was in the movie, cus it seemed like an interesting character. I also remember this old Hallmark version of The Secret Garden, which had an older "Bastian Bux" in it. He got really cute. He played Dicken.
Even though I heard of Rainbow Brite, I don't think I saw it actually. Same with the Care Bears and My Little Pony. I actually didn't start watching My Little Pony until Friendship is Magic. |

https://i.imgur.com/AorsJii.gif I had the Rainbow Brite Movie as well and I remember liking it, haha. And I also remember finding The Neverending Story boring as a child, though I haven't watched it since then so I don't remember much about it tbh. |
ok but honestly, friendship is magic is better than ANY Of the MLP stuff we had as kids. the show wasn't special AT ALL until friendship is magic happened.
|
I love FIM but not to the extent Bronies do, lmao.
And I like the gen 1 ponies cause of nostalgia. Gen 3.5 ponies are ugly imo though. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/26/f2...72cf65f556.jpg Noooo thanks |
I'm not super addicted to MLP as some people are. Sure I own some MLP dolls and plushies but not to such extremes.

I remember a Rainbow Brite thing where Starlight was pulling a mill for some reason, along with this black horse. That's all I remember though. My sister (then friend) had this big floor puzzle of Rainbow Brite that we assembled every time were were together.
Not sure about the fairs, but Scholastic is still a thing. Nephews get them and I still leaf through and look for things. Now that I'm in library studies I know what Scholastic actually does! They make super cheap copies of books so that they are more accessible to people short on money. Quality is terrible but if you have kids that mangle them anyway, it's worth the cheap price. Also... https://78.media.tumblr.com/504cb94f...5pgzo1_400.gif |
that honestly sounds like the movie! there's a black horse in the rainbow brite movie!
omg scholastic. i got all my captain underpants at the fairs. i just pulled those out recently to look at because they made a movie. didnt see the movie though. |
Glad Scholastic is still around, and I didn't know that about them. :D I used to read Captain Underpants too, haha.
Also this song is like, one of the most 'makes me nostalgic for the 90s' songs ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DL7-CKirWZE Also, I can't believe the first Austin Powers movie came out 20 years ago https://i.imgur.com/h7lVg8G.gif |
Oh geez, that song is in the Cars movie!
I thought Captain Underpants was fairly new but maybe it just got popular. My niece saw the movie. She, of course, thought it was the best thing in the world. Potty humour for days, I'm told. Case in point for Scholastic: Pete the Cat "New Shoes" (or something like that) at a retail book store, hardcover, $21.00 (CDN). Through Scholastic catalogue, soft cover with flimsy pages, $3.00. It's special to schools, I'm pretty sure. The rest of us regular folks need to pay full book price. Just remembered, on DA I found a wonderful picture of Starlight that someone drew, if he was a human, drawing the conclusion that he would be ragingly homosexual. Rainbow streaked hair and horse tail, horn, and glowsticks at rave. It was pretty great. |
first captain underpants book was published in 97.
please share this deviant's art with me? |
Okay, was wrong about the horn. I wasn't as much of a Rainbow Brite fan as my friend.
Starlite, Starbrite EDIT: I just noticed the mesh shirt. |
Ooooh, gotcha. Yeah, I also remember I was part of some kids book club thing where every month they'd mail you a few books and the pages were super thin and cheap. I was also in the Goosebumps book club. I miss those and magazines. Now everything is digital pretty much. :(
And yeah, that pic is pretty dope haha |
Goosebumps I believe is bring reprinted. I saw some at Walmart a while back. Somewhere in storage I think we have a few.
|
Cool! I watched some of the Goosebumps tv show on Netflix a while back, but I couldn't take all the cheese, haha. I remember I watched it occasionally as a kid but I always preferred the books.
|
my dad bought me the december issue of mad magazine when i was in the hospital before thanksgiving, i was soooo happy to get a new mad magazine. its like a christmas special edition with old christmas pages from the whole past of mad magazine.
i remember when they stopped making nickelodeon magazine i was soooooo sad. |
I remember I bought 1 issue of Disney Adventure and it had The Lion King in it and I thought it was the best thing.
|

Awww. I only had a few issues of it. I think the only mags I ever actually had subscriptions to were Disney Adventure and Ranger Rick. And the free one that Tokyopop used to send out, haha. I have a huuuuuge stack of anime magazines that my friend gave me a few years ago though, lmao. Maybe tomorrow I'll go dig up my old Disney Adventure mags and look for cheesy 90s stuff to take pics of if anyone's interested, lol. |
Digging a little into the 80's here but Popples and Wuzzles.
I had a Bumblelion when I was maybe later on I think I found Hoppopotamus in a Value Village. |
Are You Afraid of the Dark? used to terrify me as a kid...I remember having a nightmare based off of an episode even.
I miss so many shows from back then that are almost impossible to find nowadays .-. |
I remember one with a really smart mute girl that the protag boy used to think was stupid because she couldn't speak. They were kidnapped for an alien zoo or something. They had people from all over the world, apparently. I remember a little red head who punched England on the teleport map thing. One of those appreciate people lessons, but that's the only one that I still recall.
|
Mine has a guy in black...and he was chasing these kids who had these magical or something stones? Like they were on a tour of a historical place and did something. It's been so long.
My nightmare was kind of like that, but happening in my house lol |
Does anyone remember/like the So Weird Series that was on Zoog Disney back in the day? I found a lot of the episodes on Youtube there for a while. It was a great series I wish they'd rerelease onto DVD or something. I also wish they would have continued the series as they originally intended.
Originally the third season was going to consist of Fi and her ghost dad, fighting the evil stuff that HE discovered when he was alive. But later Disney figured that whole idea would be 'too dark' for Disney so instead they copped out, took Fi out of the show altogether and added Annie instead. Giving her a similar knack for finding weird stuff but none of it was paranormal. Not really. I wish they would have done what they were planning on doing. First two seasons were the best. (Obviously) |
I had a rainbow Popple! I loved it... the little movie that came with it not so much. It was odd.
Anyone remember the Gummi Bears cartoon? |
https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/03...g?v=1438603399
You mean these ones? And they bounced around like they were made of rubber? |
Yep, I remember my friend and I getting stuck in front of the TV playing a VHS of that and told if we moved we wouldn't get dessert at dinner.
|
Yeah I remember them. I watched them, when I got a free month trial of the Disney Channel, back before it went into the basic cable package lol.
|
I used to watch the Gummi Bears show on Toon Disney. :D
Also, I dug out all my old magazines I could find and, haha, wow, very nostaligic. https://i.imgur.com/Z5B6TPw.png I thought I had more, but these are the only ones I can find. Definitely gonna reread these later and laugh at all the 90s fashion trends and such. |
We didn't have Disney channel until my dad started stealing cable off our neighbors. XD
|
yea we didn't have cable in the 90s. i think it was about 2000 we finally got cable.
|
To be honest we wouldn't have had it if we had to pay for it. I'm still not sure how we got away with it all those years. >.< My dad probably could have gone to jail or gotten a huge fine for that
|
We didn't have it until the late 90s either I think, haha. Until then the only cartoons I got to watch on TV were the Saturday Morning Cartoons. I used to watch Disney's One Saturday Morning every week on ABC. Though I vaguely remember watching a show on Disney channel called Adventures in Wonderland that was apparently only aired from 92-94, so I guess maybe we had a free trial or something for a bit.
Anyone else remember it?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_70P4c1UVIY I used to think the White Rabbit guy was creepy.... maybe that's why I could never forget the show after all these years, lol. |
What kind of nightmare fuel is that? O_O
|
The very 90s kind XD
|
Oh the 80s-90s really were a time when we would just let kids watch anything without any regard for their mental health.
|
one saturday morning was evvverything to me.
here have some feels: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atHUYWL1eIU |

@Claire Yessss, such nostalgia, watching shows like Recess and Doug and Pepper Ann and Winnie the Pooh on my tiny TV I had in my bedroom. |
You know, I did not remember that show at all, but after like 5 seconds of that intro, I'm 100% sure I did watch Adventures in Wonderland. lol.
|
I actually thought for years I had imagined it... until YouTube came around and I found uploads of it and it all came back to me, haha.
