5 WTF Adult Moments In Kids Movies You Totally Missed

mrs doubtfire I'm gonna come out and say it; kids are annoying. Now don't get me wrong, I love children. In a completely legal way. But goddammit if they aren't tiny shells of irritation and repeated bad behaviour. I'm assuming you're familiar with children. You might even have been a child once. If that is the case, then you'll know that children want to be entertained. A lot. Thankfully kids are so dumb they'll laugh at pretty much anything. Hell, if we all retained a child's appreciation of fun, we'd all regularly be laughing at 2 Broke Girls instead of just sat there awkwardly hoping it will go away soon. And aside from people falling over, cardboard boxes and getting thrown dangerously high in the air by a tired Dad who may or may not catch them, children are extremely entertained by one more thing; movies. Hollywood make an awful lot of children's movies. I assume there are two reasons for this; one is that it gives the parents 90 minutes of bliss whereupon they can look back at their lives and see exactly where it went wrong. The other is that these little bundles of terror in constant need of instant gratification will one day be consumers themselves, and so the capitalist circle of life continues. But something happens in kids movies a lot for the parents who have to watch them perhaps 3 times a day; there are some pretty adult references in there that are designed to fly completely over the tiny dictator's heads and land squarely on the adult funny bone (not a euphemism). It reminds the parents that there are other adults out there and that life isn't just a series of colours and sounds and lack of sleep. Here are some risque moments from our childhood you may have missed as kid and will now fully appreciate as a world-weary brow-beaten grown up son-of-a-gun. Click Next to Continue...
