Mods, if this topic was previously talked about or locked, please feel to point me into the direction of that thread.
So one Friday evening, three classes were showing “Cars” at an after school program i go to. I didn’t pay much attention to it, but apparently I missed a scene in the movie that a friend of mine told me about and according to him there was a certain scene where Flo I believe confessed to Red, quote, “He likes my body.”
Okay- Even if he’s right, why would they put a scene like this in a kids’ movie? Beyond me… I never seen Cars after that and I never saw the scene again but did this scene exist in the movie? I wonder what the parents’ reactions were upon seeing this with their children at the movies.
I’ve seen Cars a million times, and I do not remember Flo telling Red, “He likes my body.” (If I’m wrong, I’ll be very embarrassed. I’m supposed to be the Cars fanatic around here.) But, there is a scene in where Mater says, “Ah, I’m just kidding! She just likes me for my body,” in the courtroom scene. Cars always seemed to be the one Pixar movie with more adult material like that. For example, Lightning says, “He won three Piston Cups!” while Mater replies with, “He did what in his cup?” Plus, it’s the only Pixar movie I’ve seen that uses a bad word, “I’m in hillbilly hell!” (Yeah, I know, I’m not supposed to say stuff like that on here, but it’s a quote. Shouldn’t that at least be allowed in this case?) I’m nowhere near being a parent, so I’ve got no clue what their reactions would be.
This is an interesting discussion. I’ve always wanted to talk about this to someone. I’m really surprised this wasn’t PG instead of G. But then again, I don’t rate the movies.
There’s also the scene where Lightning busts in on the Doc with Sheriff on the lift.
Sheriff: Get a good peek, city boy?
Anyway, there’s probably far “Worse” stuff in Dreamworks movies. Even then, these jokes hardly cross the obscene line and are firmly in “get over it” country.
I thought hearing a computer animated car saying “hillbilly hell” was one of the funniest things ever! The first time I heard it was a TV Guide preview on tv and I actually rolled off the couch laughing my head off. Ahh, good times But no, a scene where Flo says “He likes my body” isnt anywhere in it. I appreciate the more adult humor that not only Cars has, but other movies as well. (Remember that in Ratatouille the line “Welcome to hell” is used) There’s nothing in any of them that I would deem inappropriate though, especially considering some of the other things kids are exposed to, on TV and in movies.
Oh yeah, I remember, Skinner does say that to Linguini, good point. Also, with some of the stuff in shows like Spongebob, Invader Zim, Flapjack, and some other shows, there’s a lot more questionable content, kind of like you said.
This kinda thing used to be part and parcel of kids and animated films. There are always jokes that are aimed at parents and kids, but have different meanings depending on your age.
I think the reason they stick out in Pixar films is because they don’t have to worry about having different things for different groups, their jokes are generally intelligent and funny for everyone at the same time
(does that make sense??)
I don’t know if that was ever said in Cars. I’m not sure it’s like the only pixar movie that I haven’t seen a hundred times.
It doesn’t surprise or shock me much because in the Toy Story movies there are a few sexual references. Like when Buzz and Jessie first met. Jessie hopped on top of a hotwheels car and went down the ramp then jumped up to the doorknob and turned it. She did that trick as if it was nothing, much like Buzz would do it. Right as she finished her trick… Buzz stood there, mouth hung open and then his wings just popped out on their own. (I think that scene between Buzz and Jessie is the cutest scene in the whole movie btw. I want more in TS3. XDDD)
There is also one that I caught on the movie Aladdin. In this song youtube.com/watch?v=cd07uvkTeKo there is a part in the song where there are some sexy looking girls dancing around Aladdin. If you pay close attention… there is one girl grinding on him a bit.
I like how they sneak things like that in Disney movies and in Pixar movies nowadays. It makes me enjoy the movie more because it shows that it’s not just for kids. Us big kids can enjoy it too.
Well, even if Flo did say, ‘He likes my body’, I don’t think that it’s that much of a big deal…I don’t remember her saying it, though. Anyway, Pixar have always snuck in a few mature jokes that tend to fly over kids’ heads, and as others have said, they certainly don’t do it as much as Dreamworks do. That’s one of the good things about Pixar films generally- the humour appeals to both adults and children. But yes, sometimes they like to make those mature references, and why not? And ad for the whole ‘Hillbilly hell’ thing, well, over here ‘hell’ isn’t really considered much of a swear word. That might just be a cultural difference, but I think I’d be much more shocked if Pixar included certain other words in their films.
Why hasn’t anyone said anything about the drug reference yet? In the beginning of the movie when the Rust-eze cars are bothering him about not having headlights.
Here’s the dialog.
Dusty Rust-eze: Thanks to you, Lightning, we had a banner year!
Rusty Rust-eze: I mean, we might even clear enough to buy you some headlights!
Dusty Rust-eze: Are you saying he doesn’t have headlights?
Rusty Rust-eze: That’s what I’m tellin’ ya - it’s just stickers!
Lightning McQueen: Well, you know, race cars don’t need headlights, because the track is always lit.
Dusty Rust-eze: Well, so is my brother, but he still needs headlights!
That I didn’t know. A drug reference! I think I would have expected something like that out of Fillmore more. Dont’ ask why I think that! My brain is odd!
I didn’t really see Cars all the way though so I never really recalled. I didn’t see all of Ratitullie (i kno i spelled that wrong. forgive me) but I do remeber one character using the line “welcome to hell” and you’re right. It’s not that much of a curse word considering its usage in Rat and Cars. It depends on how its used in a sentence.
Like I said, didn’tr see the whole movie so don’t remember. WOW Pixar, all these inappropriate scenes I’m reading about, I’m surprised this movie wasn’t rated at least PG. But yeah, no tellin’ what kids young enough to watch Pixar’s other movies are exposed to these days.
Also no telling, what inappropriate stuff Cars 2 will show us.
Y’know now after learning of the inappropriate content in the first Cars, I wont be at all surprised if the screenwriter drops in the word “s-e-x” in somebody’s line in C2.
There better not be any of that junk in the script of Cars 2! But I don’t think they will. Pixar seems to not be the type that would reveal that much. I know about the hidden jokes and all in the other movies, but they aren’t horrible enough to scar everybody. Plus it got a G-rating! And as others have said, it NOT EVEN CLOSE to some of the things kids are shown now days. I think Cars is a very good movie on all points and perspectives and I would go see the sequel without having to think twice about it!
But no, a scene where Flo says “He likes my body” isnt anywhere in it. I appreciate the more adult humor that not only Cars has, but other movies as well. (Remember that in Ratatouille the line “Welcome to hell” is used) There’s nothing in any of them that I would deem inappropriate though, especially considering some of the other things kids are exposed to, on TV and in movies.
