Exactly! I really miss those kinds of movies. Compare a few of today's kids movies to 90's kid movies:
Today: High School Musical 1, 2, 3, Hannah Montana, Madagascar 1, 2, Kung Fu Panda, Fire House Dog, Another Cinderella Story, Aquamarine, Nancy Drew, Alvin and the Chipmunks (the crappy computer version), etc.
90's: Camp Nowhere, Free Willy, The Mighty Ducks and sequels, Casper, Baby's Day Out, House Arrest, Blank Check, Home Alone, Space Jam, The Sandlot, Toy Story, Jungle 2 Jungle, The Secret Garden, The Indian in the Cupboard, Home Alone, Beethoven, An American Tail, etc.
Just looking at that list you can see a difference in quality! (The first one is complied from a few of the Netflix children and family genre, the second is some selections from my personal Netflix list of 90's kids movies)
