Despite being targeted primarily at kids, Pixar films are nonetheless known for sometimes slipping adult jokes into their scripts.
TikTok user @lokilover227 recently flagged one such joke from near the end of the second Toy Story entry, in which Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) watches Jessie (Joan Cusack) perform a series of acrobatic manoeuvres to open a door.
Buzz’s wings then pop out of the sides of his spacesuit, in a gesture which some have taken to humorously allude to sexual excitement.
“What was a joke from a children’s TV show that went way over your head as a kid?” asked the TikTok video, before sharing the clip from Toy Story 2.
