Seriously—this was a time of creative reinvention, bold experimentation, and a return to the kind of solid storytelling and craftsmanship that made the studio such a powerhouse. The sheer amount of movies produced in the decade is staggering; the quality is what makes it truly miraculous.

And just as interesting as the movies, are the behind-the-scenes details of the making of the films. How well do you know these little-known production facts? It’s time to test your knowledge of all things Disney-in-the-‘90s:
