Every kid goes through a dinosaur phase, and for me, The Land Before Time was the trigger. Although I kept calling my dinosaurs “sharp tooths” instead of carnivores.

Also, I think The Land Before Time is the only movie franchise to have spawned four thousand sequels.

FernGully: The Last Rainforest is one of — heck, the best — animated movie about fairies defending a rainforest in Australia. The movie featured the voice talent of Tim Curry and Christian Slater, as well as Robin Williams as the Genie Batty, a genie bat. FernGully also had a strong environmentalist slant that was about as subtle as Captain Planet.

This gorgeous 1940 classic won our hearts as young children, despite featuring classical music and no dialogue, except for a few intros (and they say kids have no attention span!). There’s not much more I can say about it. Enjoy!

Feel free to post your favorite parts of Fantasia in the comments.

This was the greatest video ever when I was a kid.

Well put, Carl P. Each element of the video itself leaves something to be desired, whether it’s the dancing (fail), the lyrics (fail), or Vanilla Ice himself (epic fail), but tie all these things together into one of the greatest film franchises of our childhood, and you’ve got an epicdoubleplusmeganostalgia win.

GO NINJA, GO NINJA, GO!

The rap was featured at the end of 1991’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze. For those with short attention spans, be sure to skip ahead to 2:58 in the video to see the stupidest dance moves ever choreographed, and 3:52 where Ice talks about writing the song for the movie, proving that he is official the whitest person to have ever existed.

More Vanilla Ice craziness after the jump (and by craziness, I literally mean Vanilla Ice going crazy).

There once was a time when “Nick” meant something. During that time, an orange tape meant pure happiness.

WerewolfCyote gets it. The orange tapes weren’t significant for their color, but for what they stood for. The Nickelodeon glory days ended a long time ago. If you look closely at the photo, there are some pretty win choices there too: Harriet the Spy, Ren and Stimpy, and Are You Afraid of the Dark?.

Since it’s Friday, I thought we could reminisce about Nick together. More videos after the jump.
