*Movies...
...that parents also have to watch. Back In the day watching an animated film was a family event. You wouldn't just plant a kid in front of a TV and go do your own thing. Thats why old cartoons are fully of innuendos that only adults would get.

The fuck they wouldnt. Theyd even bitch at you across the house about sitting to close cause they made you turn the sound almost off cause they were talking.

Not just innuendos but themes that are more mature than we would associate with children. Not only for the parents accompanying their kids but good writing makes it possible to teach a young audience about otherwise difficult topics. Kung Fu Panda 2 deals with a whole genocide, for example. The Hunchback of Notre Dame had all that about religious fanatism and the deliberate racial persecution of a certain group of people. Thinking back on it, 101 Dalmatians had a woman chasing puppies to make a coat out of puppies. Innuendos are funny if you look back at them as an adult but that's also what makes movies timeless and rewatchable even after aging out of the main target group.
