These guys made an actual time machine by recreating pics from the past. Some of them got the jobs they dreamed of as children while others never betrayed their hobbies — then there are those who still fit in their old cribs and even in the same wedding dress they wore nearly 60 years before. These recreations blew up the Internet, evoking fond tears, so scroll down as not to miss them.
