Parents must be alert.
A cartoon that becomes a big hit always meets one important requirement: it is interesting for both children and adults. To entertain two age categories of viewers at once, screenwriters and animators resort to various tricks, including below-the-belt humor.
You need to be careful with vulgar jokes and introduce them into the plot so that children do not notice and parents can laugh heartily. These 10 cartoons tackled this task with a bang:
And yet, no matter how careful the creators are, parents must remain vigilant, because at every moment they will have to explain to their children what this or that sentence means. For example, what did Genie mean when he said during Aladdin and Jasmine’s disrupted wedding ceremony, “The earth is shaking as if it were on its honeymoon.” More iconic in the animation world is Anna’s line, “Foot size doesn’t matter,” to Kristoff in Frozen.
Animators are resourceful people, so they can make jokes without words. For example, in “Hercules,” attentive viewers may notice a bizarrely shaped bump on the centaur’s head, alluding to the male sexual organ. The Disney studio has often made similar jokes, such as Triton’s castle in The Little Mermaid and the method of making holes in cheese in the early variations of Mickey Mouse.
There are also more controversial examples of borderline humor in cartoons, including Shrek. The popular work is full of risqué jokes that are not intended for children’s ears, as the age rating of each part warns about.
