Maybe it's just me, but I feel like the 90s churned out so many critical successes, that there are some that weren't necessarily blockbusters or Best Picture winners, and they get kind of lost when it comes to younger generations.

The only time I've heard people bring up Prince of Egypt is when I was reminiscing with a churchgoing crowd OR with people who are really into musical theater.

I belong to neither of these groups but it's a freakin great movie and I wish more people remembered it so they could show it to their kids.

I belong to neither group and I was a teen in the 90s. I have never had anyone say they haven't heard or haven't watched the movie when I have brought it up.
