As grown ups (technically), it’s much easier to notice the moments in our favorite childhood movies that were also trying to appeal to our parents. They loved to throw in cute little innuendos or jokes that would sail right over our heads to hopefully zing the adults in the room. The recurring question is, “How adult is too adult?” We may not have picked up on it as kids, but maybe we got a little nostalgic, or had kids of our own, and stumbled upon a cloudy, even sleazy theme just under the surface.
We always hear about the “tone” of a movie. From what we gather, the tone is like the constant reading of the overall vibe. How is the audience supposed to feel during this movie? We’re supposed to feel happy, then sad, then overwhelmingly happy at the end, so anything that abruptly strays from that path can feel like the proverbial record-scratch. We may not have felt that at the time, but in retrospect, these 13 moments from lighthearted movies are actually pretty messed up.

Yes, it’s a man’s body, but that’s a kid in there!
![CRACKED A GROWN-ASS WOMAN SLEPT WITH A 13 YEAR-OLD BOY IN BIG. About the 13 year-old in a man's body, actress Elizabeth Perkins said, We don't see them having sex, but he does take my shirt off. Actually, I take my shirt off and he touches my breast, then we cut to the elevator door opening and he's got a big smile on his face.](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/2/4/4/901244.jpg)
This could've been the O.G Toy Story, but noooooo!
![CRACKED INCREDIBLY DARK THEMES IN THE INDIAN IN THE CUPBOARD. The now-sentient Iroquois toy talks about being a widower and survivor of the French-Indian War. One toy dies of a heart attack from the shock of being brought to life. Too real? Yeah.](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/2/4/3/901243.jpg)
We all know that Jerry has a dark side.
![CRACKED BARRY'S GRIM SUGGESTION IN BEE MOVIE. While Barry В. Benson and Vanessa weigh their options, Barry suggests, How about a suicide pact? They laugh it off, but who wants to explain this one to their kids?](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/2/4/2/901242.jpg)
At least the kid in Big had a man’s body.
![CRACKED BLANK CHECK HAS A GROWN WOMAN'S ROMANTIC KISS WITH AN 11 YEAR-OLD BOY.

Dan Akroyd’s ghost fantasy.
![CRACKED GHOSTLY ORAL IN GHOSTBUSTERS. Because '80s kids were swimming in Ghostbusters merch, it's easy to forget the really off-putting moment where Ray (Dan Aykroyd) received fellatio from a ghost. What do you even call an inter-spiritual sex act?](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/2/3/8/901238.jpg)
The bus driver wants to give what a try?
![CRACKED THE BUS DRIVER'S PROPOSITION IN HOCUS POCUS. When the Sanderson sisters tell the bus driver, We desire children, he responds, Hey, it may take me a couple of tries, but I don't think that would be a problem.

Somebody tell the Nanny that he’s 10, please!

Luring kids with lollipops?! Come on.
![CRACKED THE CHILD CATCHER IN CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG. On top of the blatant anti-Semitic stereotypes, the Child Catcher character is just too on-the-nose creepy.

Guys, no! She’s 13!!!
![CRACKED 13 GOING ON 30 IS WAY MORE 30 THAN 13. A good chunk of the movie is about whether or not a woman (who is essentially a child) will have sex with a number of grown men. Jennifer Garner asking out a 13-year-old boy is pretty weird too.](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/2/3/9/901239.jpg)
