Even watching the Disney classics, I discover this a lot of, particularly in Aladdin, with the Genie blabbing off about famous dates, peoples, and events. If kids films require references to things only adults would know, does that mean regular movies (not made for kids) need references or things that only kids would understand? But I suppose since we've all BEEN kids, we can appreciate kid humor at times; I suppose kid humor would be slapstick and bright colors? Just a thought.

Kids.... I'm surprised to hear you praise the pop culture references tho as people usually complain about them first. I have no problem with them if they are done well... Like anything else I guess. Funny that. Try the original 1963 episode of “Twilight Zone: Nightmare at 20,000 feet” starring William goddamn Shatner.
