Prepare to feel nostalgic, because the kids from Mrs. Doubtfire have reunited - and they're all grown up.

The adored family movie was released all the way back in November of 1993, and starred the late great Robin Williams as devoted father, Daniel Hillard.

Following a divorce from his wife Miranda (played by Sally Field), Daniel goes to extreme lengths in order to spend more time with their three children and adopts the persona of an elderly English nanny called Mrs. Euphegenia Doubtfire. Complete with a bodysuit, prosthetic mask, and British accent, Daniel can finally spend more time with kids Lydia, Chris, and Natalie.

In the movie, the children are played by Lisa Jakub (eldest daughter Lydia), Matthew Lawrence (son Chris), and
Mara Wilson (youngest daughter Natalie). Their chemistry as on-screen siblings shined through, and their incredible reactions to Williams' antics throughout the movie have helped cement the film as a beloved classic.

Fans will also recognize the actors from several other popular shows and movies from the decade.

Wilson is perhaps best known for her starring roles in movies such as Matilda and Miracle on 34th Street, and Lawrence also bagged several leading roles in 90s shows like Boy Meets World and Brotherly Love. As well as several TV movies, Jakub was also cast as Alicia Casse in the Hollywood blockbuster Independence Day, before quitting acting in 2000.

Now, the three stars have reunited this weekend at 90s Con at the Connecticut Convention Center.

Jakub and Wilson also took to Instagram to share a sweet snap of the on-screen siblings, with Wilson captioning her post: "Hilliard Family reunion at #90sCon".

Jakub is now 43 - but was just 14 when the hit movie first came out. She's a writer and yoga instructor, and after writing about anxiety and depression, last year she launched the wellness website, Blue Mala.

Wilson, now 34 (I know, Matilda is 34 I'm also freaking out), also stepped away from the cameras, finding success on stage and as a playwright, starring in her own shows Weren't You That Girl? and What Are You Afraid Of?

But over the last decade, Wilson has had several television roles - both on-screen and voice acting - starring in the likes of Broad City and Big Hero 6: The Series.

Additionally, Lawrence has continued acting, and has had multiple roles over the last three decades - appearing in hit shows like CSI: Miami, Hawaii Five-0, and the Disney spinoff, Girl Meets World.

The actors' last high-profile reunion came back in 2018, when they sat down with fellow Mrs. Doubtfire star Pierce Brosnan to celebrate the movie's 25th anniversary.

I won't lie, seeing these three back together and smiling has completely set me up for the rest of the year.
