10 Jokes In Pixar Films That Can Only Be Understood By Grown-Ups

In both their movies for kids and adults, Pixar Animation Studios has always been famous for taking things a little bit further. It was slipping in true comedy with their more mature moments while Disney was creating phallic film posters and targeting cross-dressers. And yes, that doesn’t involve Lightyear’s same-sex kiss or Turning Red’s revolutionary take on menstruation.

It doesn’t matter if it’s in the form of innuendos, attempted swear words, drug use, or a fresh take on AA meetings, Pixar found a way to turn things that aren’t generally present in children’s movies into hidden gags that only adults can appreciate.

Woody’s Words – Toy Story

10 Jokes In Pixar Films That Can Only Be Understood By Grown-Ups

In 1995, Pixar released its earliest main-stream film, and the animation company was already experimenting to see what they could get away with in a Disney production. Although Buzz’s usage of the swear “damn” was instantly rejected by Disney and substituted with his unique rendition of a curse phrase, another use of profanity successfully appeared in Toy Story.

The other toys are awed by the action figure when Buzz and Woody first see each other on Andy’s bed, but Woody isn’t buying it and won’t believe Buzz is a real space ranger. Buzz asks Woody if he is looking for the word “space ranger,” to which Woody replies, “The word I’m seeking for, I can’t speak, since there are preschool toys here,” hinting that he meant to use a much worse term to refer to Buzz.

Bruce’s Meetings – Finding Nemo

10 Jokes In Pixar Films That Can Only Be Understood By Grown-Ups

Although it’s uncommon to notice alcohol in kids’ movies, Pixar hasn’t restrained itself from using it. It always maintained mature usage of alcohol and made it look realistic, from the unlabeled bottle on the floor of Sid’s house in Toy Story to the beverage Helen drinks in Incredibles 2.

The studio discovered a method to present a fresh perspective on AA in Finding Nemo. The initial moment Marlin and Dory see Bruce and his shark buddies, they’re in the middle of something that seems to be a gathering where the sharks recite a promise, share the period they’ve experienced without consuming fish, and go over the steps in a manner like to an AA meeting.

Bob And Helena Got Busy – The Incredibles

10 Jokes In Pixar Films That Can Only Be Understood By Grown-Ups

In the movie The Incredibles, the opening scene features Bob and Helena battling evils on their marriage day as they become the literal supercouple. However, 15 years later, superheroes are outlawed and the Pars continue to live their lives while also expanding their home.

Syndrome, the erstwhile fan of Mr. Incredible discovers he and Helen have three kids: Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack by the end of the movie, when the family of supers band together to defeat him. The villain mentions that Mr. Incredible got married to Elastigirl and adds, “And got busy!” with the implication that they had a lot of sex.

4*Town’s Stripper Music – Turning Red

10 Jokes In Pixar Films That Can Only Be Understood By Grown-Ups

Pixar has always been known for its memorable music, but including an all-out boy band in a film was a first. 4*Town is a fictional band in the movie Turning Red, led by Disney alum Jordan Fisher as Robaire and singer-songwriter Finneas as Jesse, and perform several songs throughout the film.

Their look and music are reminiscent of numerous real-life boy bands, including Backstreet Boys, N*SYNC, and O-Town, but not every character in the film likes it. The joke that Mei’s buddy Abby tells about her mom disliking 4*Town as they sing “stripper music” probably sailed right over the heads of a number of children and straight into the heads of adults.

Colette’s Eyes – Ratatouille

10 Jokes In Pixar Films That Can Only Be Understood By Grown-Ups

The old woman who whips out a firearm to point at the rats in her home to the odd words uttered by various characters are just a few of the situations in Ratatouille that are intended for adult viewers. But one scene between famed Pixar duo Linguini and Colette stands out above the rest in the movie.

Before they start dating, Linguini decides to come clean about his most surprising mystery: his friend Rat does his cooking. He does this while chasing Colette away from the restaurant in a rage. Linguini stumbles over his words and says, “I have a little… I have a tiny…” Colette immediately lowers her gaze to Linguini’s crotch, making an obvious jest about his privates.

Buzz’s Wings – Toy Story 2

10 Jokes In Pixar Films That Can Only Be Understood By Grown-Ups

Buzz didn’t seem to be interested in relationships in the opening movie, but by the time he knows Jessie in Toy Story 2, he has full-on feelings for the cowgirl doll. For one of the toys, it appears to have merely been love at first sight, however their relationship develops in Toy Story 3 and blossoms by Toy Story 4.

Buzz’s first response to Jessie performing a very Buzz Lightyear-like trick on Andy’s race car ramp as he and Bullseye enter Andy’s bedroom is to have his wings emerge from behind him. This is a straight innuendo to what a male experiences when he is turned on, saving the wings popping out.

Giving Muntz The Bird – Up

10 Jokes In Pixar Films That Can Only Be Understood By Grown-Ups

“Married Life”, the song played in the opening montage of the film, introducing fans to Carl and Ellie’s romantic story, is undoubtedly the most remembered song from Up. However, there is another song in the film that can only be understood by older audiences.

The song, named “Giving Muntz The Bird,” is played at a pivotal sequence in which Charles Muntz kidnaps Kevin, the pheasant bird that Carl, Russell and Dug meet while on their expedition, and burns Carl’s house. In reference to the song’s title, which in fact alludes to giving Muntz the middle finger, Russell blamed Carld for handing Kevin over to Muntz

Randall’s Cupcakes – Monsters University

10 Jokes In Pixar Films That Can Only Be Understood By Grown-Ups

Monster University looks like the weaker of the 2 movies in the Monsters, Inc franchise, when it brings fans back in time to observe Mike and Sulley’s first reunion at scare school. The two study together at the same university as Randall, their enemy in the first movie who is always envious of Sulley’s triumph. However, Randall is shown in Monsters University to be a sweet and nerdy young monster who becomes friends with Mike after they share a room.

The phrase “BE MY PAL” is inscribed on the cupcakes that Randall bakes for Mike, but the capital P is reversed to appear as a lowercase D. Instead, this forms the word “dal,” a shortened version of the verb “dally,” which means to have a casual, sexual romantic with someone. Randall adds that it might have been awkward should the cakes spell “dal” rather than “pal” when he first observes the upside-down capital.

Arlo And Spot Get High – The Good Dinosaur

10 Jokes In Pixar Films That Can Only Be Understood By Grown-Ups

The Good Dinosaur was one of Pixar’s worst failures regardless of its beloved characters and engaging plot. The movie tells of the unexpected friendship between human cave child Spot and talking dinosaur Arlo during a period in which a number of dinosaurs were still alive.

The friends decide to try some fruit that has fallen from trees and decayed while they are on their excursion. The two then have strange visions, including Arlo having 5 eyes and Spot’s head expanding. In this scenario, the actors appear to have been high due to the food they consumed, yet to youngsters, it is only a hilarious sequence.

Héctor’s R-Rated Song – Coco

10 Jokes In Pixar Films That Can Only Be Understood By Grown-Ups

The young Miguel ends up in the middle of the Land of the Dead, learning a long-kept family mystery that alters his life as the film Coco is all about the love of a family in life and the afterlife. But while being a movie entirely about families, it did include some mature themes.

Héctor halts prior to modifying a line in the song “Everyone Knows Juanita” to “Her… knuckles… they drag on the floor,” which he delivers to Chicharrón and Miguel. When Chicharrón objects that those are not the real lyrics, Héctor explains that he changed the term “knockers” to “knuckles” because kids are present.
