Whar's your favorite adult innuendo line hidden in a kids movie?

Not a line, but in Ratatouille there's a point where Linguini is trying to explain to his love interest that he's being guided by a rat in his hat and he's saying, 'I've got a tiny... little...' We see the reaction shot of her looking confused/disgusted and very quickly glancing down at his crotch.

It's just a fraction of a second, but a great gag for the grownups anyway!

"I have...a raaaaaa..." "You have a rash?"

I’ve been forced to watch Frozen about a million times over the last few months. So the one that sticks out in my mind is when Kristoff asks Anna if she knows Hans’ foot size, and she just says “foot size doesn’t matter.”

Cat in the Hat, when the Cat trips over a garden implement and says, “Dirty Hoe!”

The bit in shrek where shrek says farquad is compensating for something with his massive castle

Mr. Potato head delivers an aside with a similar theme in the first Toy Story.

"Laser envy."

Zootopia: "I may be just a dumb bunny, but we are good at multiplying." Judy after calculating Nick's taxes.

SpongeBob had a lot of them. There's one where SpongeBob tells Patrick that his genius is showing and Patrick covers his crotch.

SpongeBob is a goldmine for so many subtle jokes.

Wish I could find a clip to post, but there's a Garfield special ("Babes and Bullets") themed as a black and white detective movie, and the line "Being a private dick isn't easy with a name like Sam Spayed" is forever burned into my memory.

Not my 'favorite' as I think Ron Howard is a hack and strongly disliked his retcon moralizing of Seuss's story, but it's pretty wild that the live action The Grinch has a reference to a key party (i.e. swapping sex partners based on what key you get) as the baby Grinch arrives down from the sky.

Back in the day, cartoons were played before the main feature. They were made for adults to enjoy and kids to follow if hey could.

I don't get Betty Boop. Was she a kid? Why is she dressed all sexy? The way she's drawn doesn't match the setting, but tbf this is the only Betty Boop cartoon I've ever seen

They never actually said her age, but it could be anywhere from mid teens to late twenties. There was an episode where she's married and has kids. She was dressed like a sexy flapper, but they toned her down after the hays code.

I think the entire run is available free on YouTube. Also look up Popeye the Sailor and the 1940s Superman cartoons. Superman was done in color with rotoscoping. The old B+W Popeyes are great. Once he joined the US Navy he lost his mojo.

And this one is an absolute classic.

Was there supposed to be a link?

I was responding to the post above mine with the YouTube link that was to Betty Boop and Minnie the Moocher.

You had 'classic' in bold. I thought it was a link. Silly me.

Basically the whole movie Sausage Party. Great movie that is also fun for adults

I don't think Sausage Party was made for children.

Another great animated movie for kids.

Ralph Bakshi is my hero. I was a teenager in the mid ‘80s when he did The New Adventures of Mighty Mouse on CBS Saturday morning. No one could understand why I was such a big fan of a kid’s cartoon, but it was pretty subversive for Saturday morning!

I recall there was a controversy because MM was sniffing flowers and it looked like he was snorting cocaine.

Yep, you’re exactly right, and parents groups made a huge fuss, which is what ultimately took the show off the air in the middle of the second season.

Hahaha WTF? I've never heard of this before, possibly because I was born in 85.

You have access to over a century's worth of movies and entertainment. Don't assume that the new stuff is the best stuff.

The newest stuff definitely isn't the best stuff, a lot of it is just rehashed garbage with a lot of CGI. The newest Top Gun was great because it was like 90% practical stunts.

I'll put the original 'The Italian Job' with Michael Caine over any of the Fast And Furious movies.
