Of all the animated classics in Disney’s vault, Atlantis the Lost Empire is one of the few that might actually benefit from a live-action remake. This story about a team of swaggering explorers and a nerdy cartographer has heart, humor, action, and drama.

Zetus Lapetus! Disney Channel Original Movies don’t get much better than this 1999 cheeseball sci-fi movie featuring catchy songs and lots of Lycra. It’s Barbarella meets Lizzie McGuire, with a hearty dash of '90s fashion.

Flight of the Navigator borrows liberally from 80s family-friendly romps like E.T.,The Goonies, and The Neverending Story, but still manages to be a heck of a lot of fun in its own right.

Daniel Craig wields a sword in this ‘90s adventure about a young baseball player sent back in time. Exciting, charming, and oddly entertaining, A Kid in King Arthur’s Court strikes just the right balance between gallant and whimsy.

An homage to serial characters from World War II, Billy Campbell stars in The Rocketeer as stunt pilot Cliff Secord who finds a jet pack that lets him fly up, up, and away. It’s real, real good.
