Unless you've been living under a rock for the last 5 years, you would be aware that photo recreations are very, very trendy right now. Whether it's on instagram, Facebook, or the video recreations on TikTok (to the soundtrack of 'I'm Just A Kid' by Simple Plan) recreations are super cute, super fun and SUPER nostalgic.

The coolest thing about recreations in this day and age, is we have so many awesome tools at our disposal to get the re-runs pretty close to perfect with grainy filters and maybe even a little photoshop. Below you're going to see 50 of the best family photo recreations on the internet - and some are pretty emotional!
