4. Rugrats Movie

Did anyone else notice this dubious-looking sign on the sign of the highway, as the cars are hurtling towards the sunset? The “Top Down Truckstop” is advertising “All Convertible Waitresses”.
7. Hocus Pocus
When they say “We desire … children”, the Sanderson sisters mean they want to eat the life essence of young people so they can go on living forever, right? The bus driver seems to interpret that a bit differently, saying “It may take me a couple tries, but I don’t think that’ll be a problem.”

In which the cars have a lemon party. Look that up at your peril
10. Muppet Treasure Island

16. The Santa Clause
It’s not all dick jokes. Santa harks back to the high times of his youth when he starts flying and tells his son: “It’s ok, I’m used to it. I lived through the sixties.”
