Can we all take a few moments to appreciate the glory that was the original Power Rangers Movie?

It begins with a charity skydiving competition to save an observatory.

And proves that walking, nay even running, might not always suffice.

It taught us to care and respect our grandparents. Whether they're disembodied heads in a tube or just lying around in their snuggie.

Ninjettie Corkscrew Kick!

It guest starred Thanos from the upcoming Avengers Infinity War event.

Those killer 1995 special effects.

I mean seriously.

Just bask in it.

Eat your heart out Pacific Rim.

Impromptu sex appeal for all those young adolescent boys. Or girls, if you were progressive. No judgement 90's lezzies.

The puns.

Great glorious puns.

Puns for days. And look at that killer Ranger weaponry.

It really helped bolster the strong dialogue overall.

We got the ever popular 'kids about to go off a busted monorail' plot.

But it wasn't all fun and game, Power Rangers was really ABOUT something. It helped us realize the dangers of blind consumerism and a toxic environment that needed saving.

And a climax where we find out the emergency button on the Mega Zord activates a well timed crotch shot, if ever you are in mortal peril.

Did I mention the impromptu sex appeal?

So thank you 1995's Power Rangers for reminding me how balls to the walls crazy a childhood can be.

The 90s was a weird time... especially for CGI.

As a dad accompanying a 6 year old, I appreciated the spontaneous sex appeal as well.

I told my parents I was going to see this but I snuck into "Species" to see Natasha Henstridge get naked instead. Good times.

As a 3-4 year old I didn't even recognize CGI, looking at these gifs I'm like, "wow I thought this movie was pure magic."
