80's & 90's kids movies were just... different. I'm remembering Flight of the Navigator where they actually have a scene where the main character has to pull over his hijacked(?) flying saucer to answer the call of nature.

This was an exceptionally accurate representation of 80s movies; I don't like them and I had such a visceral reaction that I almost closed the page multiple times.
