Since the launch of Disney+, fans have enjoyed innumerable shows and movies - both old and new - to their hearts' content. However, some films - especially from the 1990s - are still keenly missed. Some are from Walt Disney proper, but many are from Disney's other production companies that have yet to make it on the streaming service.

No matter where they came from, some 90s movies are criminally overlooked by streaming and should be added sooner rather than later. Whether they were box office smashes or beloved childhood shows, fans eagerly hope for an appearance on Disney+.

Although Tower of Terror is based on a Disney World attraction, it remains missing from the Disney+ lineup. This movie is about a discredited reporter named Buzzy Crocker and his niece, Anna, who go to an abandoned hotel to investigate the disappearance of five people in the late 1930s. Hoping to save his career, Buzzy attempts to solve the mystery and write about the fate of the five people who disappeared from the elevator that fateful night.

This story originally aired as part of The Wonderful World Of Disney as a television movie. However, with the Halloween season fast approaching, many fans feel that this is a great time to bring back this old, creepy movie that features a young Kirsten Dunst in yet another terrifying tale.

A Troll In Central Park is a fish-out-of-water story about a lovable troll named Stanley, who is banished from his home by an evil queen due to his love of gardening. Stanley finds himself in New York City, where he befriends two children named Gus and Rosie. The three go on a harrowing adventure and face the evil Queen Gnorga.

A Troll In Central Park is a beloved family-friendly movie that will pull on the heartstrings of its viewers. While the general population often overlooks it, this movie is one of the best 90s animated movies to come out of 20th Century Fox.

My Date With The President's Daughter is another Wonderful World of Disney movie. The story revolves around a teenage boy named Duncan (played by Will Friedle) who cannot find a date for the upcoming school dance. That is until he runs into a girl named Hallie at the mall who agrees to go with him.

This movie is a spectacular example of the level of camp and hijinks in many teen films at the time. Duncan's realization that Hallie is the President's daughter is hilariously absurd, as he pulls up to the White House using the address Hallie gives him. The whole movie is great fun, and perfectly expresses the tones of teen movies at the time.

Runaway Bride is a film from Touchstone Pictures about a serial bride named Maggie Carpenter who cannot seem to go through with any of her numerous weddings. Having heard about Maggie's escapades, reporter Ike Graham investigates what Maggie struggles with when it comes to commitment. Richard Gere and Julia Roberts star in this touching romantic movie.

Although Maggie does not end up going through with her wedding, she finally finds a kindred spirit in Ike. This movie is a beloved 90s romance that viewers have loved for decades. Fans hope it will come to Disney+ soon to witness the love story of Maggie and Ike.

When a young boy in foster care named Roger asks his biological father when they can be a family again, his dad sarcastically responds by saying they will be together when the awful baseball team - the California Angels - wins the Pennant. Unfortunately, Roger does not fully understand his father's tone and prays fervently for God to send angels to help the local team win.

Much to Roger's surprise, a group of angels led by someone named Al help the team in success after success. Angels in the Outfield is a touching movie that was many fans' introduction to the world of baseball and the talents of many famous actors. Danny Glover, Christopher Lloyd, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tony Danza, and Matthew McConaughey appear in this great 90s Disney film.

One of the most recognizable 90s action films is Armageddon starring Bruce Willis. So naturally, it is surprising that it has yet to make it to the Disney+ platform, despite Touchstone Pictures being a Disney company. Fans can only hope it comes to the site soon, so they can rewatch the high-octane fun Michael Bay had to offer in the 90s.

Fans of Armageddon are drawn to it for its star cast and many explosions, which are expected when numerous asteroids pelt the Earth. Fortunately, a team of drillers is sent to space to break up the largest one to prevent it from destroying the planet. Fans of 90s action movies are still eagerly awaiting this blood-pumping title.

Ferngully: The Last Rainforest is a poignant children's film about the consequences of pollution and human interference with nature. A construction worker named Zak becomes keenly aware of this when he is shrunk by a fairy named Crysta, who is trying to save him from a falling tree. However, from his new vantage point, Zak begins to understand the value of all life and the true extent of human destruction.

Ferngully is another 20th Century Fox film that has yet to make it to Disney+. However, its important message and colorful characters make it a staple for 90s animated movie fans. Plus, Tim Curry shines as the villain, Hexxus. Fans can only hope that this movie comes to the platform soon.

The Pagemaster is a 90s movie that blends live action with animation. Richard Tyler is a skittish boy whose anxiety gets the better of him in almost every aspect of his life. Yet, when a thunderstorm forces him to take refuge in a library, Richard finds he is in for much more of an adventure than he could have ever thought possible.

This movie is often underrated for other movies of the time, yet it is no less touching. The story about a young boy facing his fears - despite his hesitation - is a great message for children, compounded by colorful animation and characters. Patrick Stewart, Whoopi Goldberg, and Frank Welker particularly shine as Adventure, Fantasy, and Horror. This is one 20th Century Fox film that more viewers should have the privilege of seeing.

Bicentennial Man is a strangely touching film about an artificially intelligent robot who slowly becomes sentient over many decades - prompting viewers to ponder the meaning of life. Robin Williams shines as the titular robot who learns about life, love, and acceptance.

While a movie about a robot does not initially sound heartwarming, Williams's poignant portrayal is enough to bring tears even to the most stoic of viewers. Unfortunately, this Touchstone Pictures film is missing from the Disney+ collection, but fans hope it comes to the site soon.

Independence Day is the most iconic action movie of the 90s. Its endlessly quotable dialogue and uniquely dynamic characters make it a must-watch for fans of the decade. It also boasts a star cast to include Bill Pullman, Will Smith, and Jeff Goldblum.

Aliens enter Earth's atmosphere. However, the marvel of the presence of aliens quickly descends into terror as saucers systematically destroy everything in their path. It then falls upon the people of Earth to defend their planet and reclaim their independence. This heart-pumping movie is one many summer blockbuster fans hope to see on Disney+ soon.
