Movies of the nineties

We previously mentioned the popularity of Disney. This popularity derived from the success of their animated movies. Their best selling movie in the nineties was Lion King. They had many other successful animated films in that era, these included: A Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, 101 Dalmatians, Fantasia, Peter Pan and the Jungle Book. In 1995, Disney became the first to create a computer-animated feature film made entirely from computer-generated imagery.



All movies used in the above clip were made in the 90s except for Sleeping Beauty which was made in the 1959 (one of the first Disney feature films)

Another first for the film industry happened in the nineties with the romantic film titled ‘Titanic’. This became the highest-grossing film of all time, for 12 years at almost $200 million.

For the teenagers of the nineties, a favourite movie was Clueless. Clueless explored the various status’ and social cliques in a high school.   This movie is a perfect showcase of 90s fashion, as well as trendy items of the 90s.
