This 90's movie staring an adorable baby, played by twins who would never act in movies again, which, given the path many kid actors end up on may have been a very smart move.

The Movie ConnectionDCS: BeetlejuiceYou voted, we listened, and the winner was: "Beetlejuice" which is one of Tim Burton's early classic's before he got all Tim Burton-y.

This was the long awaited installment following a extended hiatus that saw the changing of many leaders in the Disney company including one of the producers behind the original Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy.

This movie contains just as much energy and crazy humor as the original and finds a charming character the lovable oaf, Kronk, but it also seems to use a familiar Disney Animated Sequel format by stringing together three distinct stories into one "narrative."
