It's been 25 years since the legendary Robin Williams posed as a rock-n-rollin' nanny.

Classic family film Mrs Doubtfire was released in 1993, starring the late great comedian and Oscar winner Sally Field. And the actors who played the Hillard children — Lisa Jakub as Lydia, Matthew Lawrence as Chris, and itty bitty Mara Wilson as Natalie, are all grown up.

Reuniting to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the film (sadly not in the house), the three posed with co-star Pierce Brosnan, who played Field's swanky new boyfriend Stu in the film, and it's a damn delightful photo:

Jakub, who played the oldest Hillard sibling, also posted a video shot by Brosnan showing a photo of the three kids at the premiere of Mrs Doubtfire in 1993, then pulled back to show the trio as they are now. It's very sweet.

"Love you all so much," says Brosnan like the biggest and most embarrassing dad ever, jumping into the frame. "It's so good to be part of your lives."

"We couldn’t stop laughing," Wilson wrote afterwards on Twitter.

Mama Field, according to Jakub, wasn't there as she's on a book tour for her new memoir, In Pieces.

Excited '90s children on Twitter were freaking out over the reunion on Twitter, with many noting the underlying sadness of Williams' absence. The inimitable, beloved comedian, who played Daniel Hillard and the eponymous hero Euphegenia Doubtfire, died in 2014.

So, what's everyone been up to? Yeah, we know, Brosnan's been warbling his way through Mamma Mia 2: Here We Go Again, but onto the young'uns.

After starring in the likes of Independence Day and other blockbusters, Jakub retreated from Hollywood to the world of writing and teaching yoga, and has penned a book about growing up as a child actor, called You Look Like That Girl & Not Just Me.

Wilson followed a somewhat similar path, shunning the limelight as a famous child actor in films like Matilda, and moving into her career as a writer. She penned her own memoir called Where Am I Now?: True Stories of Girlhood and Accidental Fame. Plus, you need to follow her on Twitter, she rules.

Lawrence continued acting, notably starring in '90s sitcom Boy Meets World, playing the quarterback dreamboat in 2000's The Hot Chick alongside Rachel McAdams and Rob Schneider, and landing TV roles on the likes of CSI: Miami, Melissa and Joey, and naturally, Girl Meets World.

Now you're caught up, let's revisit a simpler time:
