The One '90s Movie Your Child Should Never Watch While Potty Training

The movie served as a sequel to its predecessor hit film, Look Who's Talking, which starred John Travolta, Kirstie Alley, and Bruce Willis, who voiced the inner dialogue of Baby Mikey. The follow-up project had a similar premise, except now Mikey is a toddler who finds himself in the early stages of potty training. He is hesitant about the process, but soon becomes downright terrified after a fellow toddler friend, Eddie, warns him about Mr. Toilet Man - a mystical figure who resides in the potty and needs to be given your pee and poop. That sounds, well, super gross and scary: two very deadly combos when it comes to getting your own little one motivated to use the toilet.
