You might have even dressed up as Belle from "Beauty and the Beast" for Halloween one year. But can you even "fangirl" (or guy) if you didn't live through the renaissance period of the 1990s? Sure, the 2010s gave us the über-popular "Frozen" and and "Moana," but the 1990s? The 1990s were some kind of crazy, crank-out-all-the-animated-Disney-classics period of history: "Beauty and the Beast," "Mulan," "Pocahontas," "Aladdin," "Toy Story," "The Lion King" ... Do you see where we're going? To quote Charles Dickens, "It was the best of times ..." And that's it! The best of times for Disney fans everywhere.

The question is, whether you lived through it or you didn't, can you identify the parade of animated Disney flicks we can thank the '90s for?
