13 Children Movies and TV Shows on Netflix From My Childhood
YouTube

With Netflix consistently changing the TV shows and movies they provide, there have been many that have caught my eye. Shows and movies that were on television when I was younger have been making an appearance and I couldn't be happier! These are just some of the TV shows and movies creating childhood nostalgia:

(Keep in mind that some of the films and shows may have been created before I was born, but I still watched them as a child)

1. The Land Before Time (1988)

I used to watch this show at my Grandma's house with my cousins when I lived in California and I just remember that she had a lot of the movies on VHS. (My grandma lives with us in Missouri now and she most of them still.)

2. Anastasia (1997)

This used to be one of my cousin's favorites, so I watched it often as a child. As I've gotten older I've come to appreciate the story, music, and animation as I own in on DVD now.

3. Pokémon: Indigo League (2000)

THIS IS WHAT I LIVE FOR, both then and now. I love this show and I always will.

4. Totally Spies (2001)

When I saw this make an appearance on Netflix, I got super pumped because I totally forgot about this show. At the sight of the TV show cover I somehow remembered the characters' names and that I own a VHS containing a few episodes of the show.

5. Courage the Cowardly Dog (2002)

This show gave me some heebie jeebies with their creepy villains, but that was the beauty of the show.

6. Hey Arnold! The Movie (2002)

HEY FOOTBALL HEAD!!

7. Holes (2003)

OMG. Young Shia LeBeouf!!

8. The Cheetah Girls (2003)

TCG and HSM were everything to younger me because all the people were great singers and pretty stylish.

9. Powerpuff Girls (2004)

I loved the Powerpuff Girls and my mom made me a crochet blanket with their colors. I also had a VHS of TPG like I had for Totally Spies.

10. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)

Good ole Willy Wonka. Now this isn't the original, but it's pretty good and it's the one from my childhood. Plus I just love Johnny Depp in this and little Freddie Highmore.

11. Chicken Little (2005)

I included this one because I just recently watched this movie at the summer camp I work at and I feel this Disney movie deserves more love. (It was even mentioned in my underappreciated Disney film article)

12.Winx Club (2005)

I just started watching this show again and oh man the nostalgia.

13. Zathura (2005)

There's YOUNG JOSH HUTCHERSON. SO CUTE. I also have the Zathura board game if anyone's down to play it with me.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
