Aleisha Allen takes a walk down memory lane.
The actress, 33, shared an Instagram post on Jan. 21 in which she recreated the movie moment Are we there yet?while marking the 20th anniversary of the film.
The post featured an animated image, which switched between a photo of Allen as her character Lindsey Kingston in the 2005 family film, and another of herself recreating the moment more recently.
In both photos, Allen wore a white winter hat with multicolored polka dots, a white knitted scarf and a pink jacket while standing in front of a train.
Other slides featured in Allen’s post included a funny scene involving a marker and notebook from Are we there yet? – which Allen also paid tribute to – as well as solo versions of his train station selfie in 2025 and is still redoing it.
