Adult Humour in Movies

How many of you have ever seen a childrens' movie? My guess is all of you have at some point in your life, but have you ever really paid attention to the comedy in said movies?

                I'm going to narrow it down and focus on mainly Pixar movies. Animators and writers at Pixar have stated that their movies are for adults, just as much as they are for children. So what they do is throw in humour that only the adult are supposed to understand. Most people have seen the classic movies such as Toy Story, The Incredibles, and Cars, So let me use these three as examples.

In the movie Toy Story, made in 1995, there are actually numerous jokes and humourous occasions made so that only adults, and possibly some children, would understand.  For instance, When Bo Peep says to Woody, "Whadda ya say I get someone else to watch the sheep tonight?", it is inferred that she is probably referring to having sex.

In the movie The Incredibles, made in 2004, there is a montage after Bob accepts a job and kissed Helen. During this montage, Bob and Helen are seen sneaking past their daughter, Violet's, bedroom, and they both pinch each other's butt's while passing through each other.

In the movie Cars, made in 2006, there is a truck stop called the Top Down Truckstop, and on the sign for the stop, it reads "All Convertible Waitresses", meaning that all the waitresses are, in a sense, topless.

All of these are examples of jokes and remarks made within Pixar movies, and there are many more. I realize that these remarks are designed so that only adults should understand them, but as our generation grows, it seems that the minds of children are maturing rapidly, and many children are finding these jokes humourous already at a very young age. Although adults need to enjoy the movies that their children watch, I feel as if companies need to cut down on the level of their remarks and humour, and just use jokes that are funny for all ages.
