Here is a lively video for ’90s babies and “Friends” fans out there.

Warner Bros. just dropped a brief remake of the nostalgic “Friends” opening credits featuring miniature vinyl Funko dolls of Rachel Green, Ross Geller, Monica Geller, Phoebe Buffay, Chandler Bing and Joey Tribiani.

The 45-second stop motion re-creation displayed on YouTube features the iconic orange couch, the fountain and the cast’s innate clumsiness. It was accompanied by the sitcom’s original track, Rembrandts’ “I’ll Be There for You.”

“Friends” aired 10 seasons on NBC from September 1994 to May 2004. Starring  Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer, the series amassed several awards and stepped up as one of the most-watched sitcoms in the US.

Just like “Friends,” other characters in memorable American shows were carved and modeled into Funko toys. In fact, the three ladies gracing “Gilmore Girls,” as well as Barb and Eleven from Netflix’s “Stranger Things,” were recently shaped into teeny dolls.  Gianna Francesca Catolico
