00:00 ♪ Oh, it's that Aladdin's pitch of butter ♪
00:03 - Welcome to WatchMojo, and today,
00:06 we're counting down our picks
00:07 for the top 10 Disney moments only adults notice.
00:11 - Who are you?
00:13 (coughing)
00:17 - For this list, we'll be looking at the details,
00:20 jokes, and references in Mouse House movies
00:22 that are bound to go over a child's head.
00:25 As much as we love Hocus Pocus,
00:27 we'll be sticking to animated Disney
00:30 and Pixar features for this one.
00:32 Did you pick up on any of these entendres as a kid?
00:35 Brag about it in the comments down below.
00:37 Number 10, Anna's opinion on feet, frozen.
00:43 - You mean to tell me you got engaged
00:45 to someone you just met that day?
00:48 - Yes, pay attention.
00:49 - For all their shared sandwiches,
00:51 Anna doesn't know much about her beloved Hans.
00:54 Kristoff calls her out on it by asking about him,
00:57 like, what's the size of his feet?
00:59 But as Anna says herself,
01:01 - What size doesn't matter?
01:02 - While it could play as a normal gag,
01:05 it could also be a pointed reference
01:07 to the popular size doesn't matter sentiment
01:09 about genitalia.
01:11 Either way, it's hard to ignore,
01:13 especially considering it isn't the only slip up in Frozen.
01:17 When Anna confronts Elsa about the damage to Arendelle,
01:21 she claims that the place is
01:23 - In deep, deep, deep, deep snow.
01:28 - It really sounded like she was going to say another word
01:30 that starts with S, that's all we're saying.
01:34 Number nine, nightlife in Agrabah, Aladdin.
01:37 If this song is any indication,
01:40 even street urchins need some pleasure every now and then.
01:44 During one jump ahead, Aladdin's exploits as a petty thief
01:48 land him in the middle of a high stakes chase sequence.
01:51 He runs all across Agrabah,
01:53 eventually landing inside a woman's bedroom.
01:56 - I can take a hint, gotta face the facts.
01:58 You're my only friend, Abu.
02:00 - At least that's what we thought as kids.
02:03 In hindsight, this place was more likely a brothel.
02:07 What's more, the harem girls seem to recognize Aladdin too.
02:11 Take from that what you will.
02:13 - Gotta eat to live, gotta still to eat,
02:14 tell you all about it when I got the time.
02:17 - Since the scene appeared in the live action remake too,
02:21 it's obvious that Arabian nights are hotter than hot
02:25 in more ways than one.
02:27 ♪ I blame Paris, empty hands ain't got 'em ♪
02:30 Number eight, Linguini's package, Ratatouille.
02:33 - Colette, wait, wait, wait, wait, don't order!
02:36 Cycle away.
02:37 - For the record, Linguini gets full points
02:40 for at least trying to come clean to Colette.
02:42 However, his execution leaves a lot to be desired.
02:46 While there's no easy way to say
02:48 that you're a puppet for a cooking rat,
02:50 Linguini describes it as having a--
02:53 - I have this tiny, little, little--
02:58 - And traits are.
02:59 At that confession, Colette's eyes flick down
03:02 for nothing more than a split second.
03:04 It's incredibly easy to miss even if you're looking for it.
03:08 But if you catch the glimpse,
03:11 it's clear what Colette thinks Linguini's tiny thing is.
03:15 And it's not Remy.
03:16 Hey, in the words of Anna from Frozen,
03:19 size doesn't matter.
03:22 Don't laugh, I'm gonna show ya!
03:25 Number seven, Kronk pitches a tent,
03:27 the Emperor's new groove.
03:29 After a long day chasing Kuzco,
03:32 Kronk stretches out under his tent
03:34 for a well-deserved night's sleep.
03:36 The issue, his tent is clearly not meant for humans,
03:40 and definitely not for ones of Kronk's size.
03:43 - The peasant at the diner.
03:45 He didn't pay his check.
03:48 - Seeing him stretched out under a tiny canopy
03:51 is an innocent visual gag for all audiences.
03:54 But there's another joke buried in the tent's placement.
03:58 The covering is right above Kronk's private,
04:00 meaning that he's figuratively and literally pitching a tent.
04:05 - Oh yeah, it's all coming together.
04:07 - If you need more convincing,
04:09 remember that he's sleeping right next to Yzma's.
04:12 Naughty or not, it's a testament to Disney's clever writing
04:16 that this joke still works even if you don't quite
04:19 get the euphemism.
04:20 - This had better be good!
04:23 - Number six, Seven Samurai Remake, A Bug's Life.
04:26 - They come, they eat, they leave.
04:28 That's our lot in life.
04:30 It's not a lot, but it's our life.
04:32 - When terrifying ruffians threaten to invade his home,
04:35 a brave underdog recruits several quirky heroes
04:38 to defend his village.
04:40 Sounds like a pretty exciting Disney film, right?
04:43 The thing is, we aren't talking about A Bug's Life.
04:46 That summary also applies to the influential Japanese film,
04:50 Seven Samurai.
04:51 (speaking in foreign language)
04:55 While it's clear that the Disney classic
04:58 borrowed story elements from the epic feature,
05:01 the similarities go way beyond that.
05:04 A Bug's Life is full of characters and scenes
05:06 that pay homage to Seven Samurai.
05:09 Unless your kid is an expert on Japanese cinema,
05:12 they probably won't pick up on the references.
05:15 But it's totally worth a revisit
05:17 once you point out the connection.
05:19 - Ants are not meant to serve grasshoppers.
05:22 - Number five, Substance Use, Alice in Wonderland.
05:26 Let's break down the facts here.
05:27 A small girl drinks an ominous vial,
05:30 takes a bite of a random cookie,
05:32 and suddenly starts exploring a world
05:34 of strange creatures and psychedelic imagery.
05:36 Is this a Disney movie or a PSA on substance use?
05:40 - Why, what peculiar little figures.
05:43 Tweedle dee and tweedle dum.
05:48 - The entirety of Wonderland could easily be interpreted
05:51 as an acid trip.
05:53 In fact, the movie doesn't even try
05:55 to hide its drug-induced undertones.
05:58 - Who are you?
05:59 - A caterpillar literally puffs color smoke,
06:04 and that's still just scratching the surface
06:06 of all the substance references
06:08 in this so-called children's film.
06:11 Alice in Wonderland had a massively popular re-release
06:14 in the '70s, and given the movie's contents,
06:17 we can see why.
06:18 - It would be so nice if something
06:20 would make sense for a change.
06:22 - Number four, Bears in Your Area, Inside Out.
06:26 - What was that?
06:27 Was it a bear?
06:28 It's a bear!
06:28 - There are no bears in San Francisco.
06:29 - As this gust learns firsthand,
06:32 there are, in fact, bears in San Francisco.
06:35 Just not the kind she's thinking of.
06:38 See, when fear becomes, well, fearful about grizzlies,
06:42 Discuss claims there aren't any in the city.
06:45 In response, Anger says he saw someone
06:48 with a lot of hair who could pass as a bear.
06:51 - I saw a really hairy guy.
06:52 He looked like a bear.
06:53 - Now, he could've just meant the man was so furry.
06:56 He literally looked like a grizzly bear.
06:58 But as anyone who keeps up with the slang knows,
07:01 a bear is also a label given to certain hairy gay men.
07:05 Since San Francisco is often seen as the epicenter
07:09 of the gay rights movement,
07:10 it's hard not to interpret this joke
07:12 in an LGBTQIA+ context.
07:15 - That's no console, is that?
07:17 (beep)
07:18 - Sorry, I did it again, my bad.
07:20 - Number three, Oedipus Complex, Hercules.
07:24 What can we say?
07:25 Herc really knows how to sweet talk a woman.
07:28 On his date with Magara,
07:29 he decides to bring up the show they just saw.
07:32 And wouldn't you know, it was about Oedipus.
07:37 - And then that play, that Oedipus thing?
07:40 Man, I thought I had problems.
07:42 (laughing)
07:44 - It's not exactly like get to know you chit chat,
07:47 but it definitely makes Hercules
07:49 look like a better bachelor, that's for sure.
07:52 Although, for their sake,
07:54 we hope most kids don't understand what he's referring to.
07:58 - Wonder Boy, you are perfect.
08:00 - Hercules has a few other jabs to Greek mythology.
08:03 And luckily, they're significantly less crude.
08:06 Like when the disguised Pain and Panic
08:08 are trapped under a boulder
08:10 and they jokingly ask for someone to call I-X-I-I,
08:14 the Roman numeral for 911.
08:16 - Somebody call I-X-I-I!
08:18 - It's clever and kid-friendly, two boots.
08:22 Number two, Hook, Line, and Sinker, Toy Story.
08:26 No one expected the mischievous Sid
08:28 to play nice with his toys.
08:30 But Woody and Buzz soon discovered
08:31 that he didn't actually play with them at all.
08:34 Rather, he disfigured the toys
08:36 into new, horrifying creations.
08:39 One of which is incredibly out of place
08:41 in a children's film.
08:42 - Buzz!
08:43 (guns cocking)
08:44 - Go away, you disgusting freak!
08:46 - It's a fishing pole with two voluptuous doll legs attached
08:51 that appears to be symbolizing
08:52 another term for a sex worker.
08:55 It's never caught as such,
08:57 but the visual play on words is hard to miss.
09:00 - Legs?
09:01 (guns cocking)
09:02 You're with Ducky.
09:02 (duck quacks)
09:03 - If you think that's scandalous,
09:05 wait 'til Toy Story 2.
09:07 After Buzz meets Jessie,
09:09 the film conveys his affection
09:11 by having his wings fly up stiffly at his side.
09:15 Clearly, this is Buzz's version
09:18 of having some friction in the jeans.
09:20 - To infinity and beyond!
09:22 - Before we unveil our top pick,
09:26 here are a few honorable mentions.
09:29 This ram goes full Breaking Bad, Zootopia.
09:33 - All right, Walter and Jessie are back,
09:35 so I'm leaving now.
09:36 Out.
09:37 - Hey, where you going?
09:38 - Where you going?
09:38 Get back here!
09:39 What are you doing?
09:40 He's gonna see you!
09:41 - When these cars flash their lights,
09:42 they really mean it.
09:44 Cars.
09:45 - I'm Mia!
09:46 - I'm Tia!
09:46 - We're like your biggest fans!
09:48 - Ka-chow!
09:49 (crowd cheering)
09:50 - I love the evening.
09:52 - This potato is baked in more ways than one.
09:56 Monster University.

10:18 - Number one, Hal Scar, The Lion King.
10:23 - What are you supposed to do?
10:25 Kill Mufasa?
10:26 - Precisely.
10:29 - Sure, as a kid,
10:31 it's easy to understand that Scar is the baddie,
10:34 but there's no way to Hakuna Matata your way
10:37 out of this reference.
10:38 For most of his solo number, "Be Prepared,"
10:41 Scar is standing over his battle lion
10:44 as they mindlessly march to his orders.
10:46 It doesn't take a genius to realize
10:49 that this is basically the spitting image of a Nazi regime,
10:52 with Scar taking the place of Adolf Hitler.
10:55 - We'll be prepared.
10:57 - For what?
10:58 - For the death of the king.
10:59 - Is he sick?
11:00 - No, fool, we're gonna kill him.
11:02 - And Simba too.
11:03 - The uncanny parallels are no coincidence.
11:06 Reportedly, the filmmakers intentionally based this scene
11:09 on a Nazi propaganda film,
11:11 making it abundantly clear what Scar is a metaphor of.
11:15 You'll never be able to look at marching hyenas
11:18 the same way.
