The Muppets (including the movies) still have a pretty reasonable adult 
following -- partially because of the double-entendre aspect that you 
mention.  Other than Pixar films, I think a lot of Miyazaki's stuff also 
holds up very well to an adult viewing.

I miss the Animaniacs, and the zany other shows they inspired too (like 
Freakazoid).  Out of curiosity, are there any good kids shows on these 
days?  In the few times I've tuned in recently I've only seen Yu-Gi-Oh 
and some other highly non-interesting shows.
