8 Cuties in ’90s Books-Turned-Movies

Books-turned-movies are nothing new; heck, there are at least ten awesome novels being adapted into big-screen films in theaters this year. But out of all the ones we could think of for 2014 (that we actually cared about), only ONE is derived from a story from the ’90s: The Giver.

The Lois Lowry book is now in theaters. And, while there are plenty of big-named celebrities to look forward to seeing in the adaptation, there are a couple other reasons you should be excited to see it for yourself: the cuties! With Brenton Thwaites and Cameron Monaghan both starring in the flick, we thought we’d reflect on eight cute actors in ’90s books-turned-movies. Join us for the ride, won’t you?
