Naughty, naughty Disney!!!! (PG)

[I.R Joey]

For a while now I've heard that Disney cartoonist hide things in their animated movies. For instance that in one part a bunch of leaves says "Have Sex" in the Lion King. Another one being that if you listen in Aladdin, someone subtly tells him to take of his clothes as he goes into Jasmine's room. Or that in diffrent movies there have been implied that the rod within many of the pants of diffrent male charecters, have uh...risen to the occasion of seeing a beuatiful women.

Can anyone confirm these?

[Terminatah]

These are all untrue. The word you see in The Lion King is not SEX, but SFX. The crew wanted to give themselves a little credit in the movie. In Aladdin, he says "Good kitty, take off and go," not "All good teenagers take off their clothes." The priest in The Little Mermaid does not have an erection.

There is a brief shot of a naked woman in the "The Rescuers," which IIRC, was true.

[Danielle]

Wasn't there something with cuss words written on the flowers in Snow White?

[Fish]

Yo'll only find it if you have one of the original VHS releases of the movie. The "secret" got out, and there was a bit of a scandal about it, so Disney redid the cover minus the phallus for all subsequent releases.

:(

I thought that it was funny.

[Karkull]

Just wait...one of these will pop up as an avatar at some point.

[Zorakfan]

You just gave me an idea. DON'T EVER GIVE ME IDEAS.

Thankfully, I possess the self control to restrain myself, but if anyone wants an avatar chock-full of shock value, you'll know where to turn.

[Squall]

Hmmm...

I wonder if there's any hidden stuff in any of these TV shows?

-JL
-Transformers (1984-1987)
-G.I. Joe (1982-1987)
-Dragonball
-Dragonball Z
-... or any of the "Cartoon Cartoon" cartoons on the Cartoon Network? (there's a tounge twister for you :) )

[Jedigreedo]

Those pictures are a little over the PG rating, ain't they?

I heard the reason of the Little Mermaid box cover is because this one guy in the art department who was in charge of that found out from a co-worker that he was going to get fired on the next day or something and did that to the castle because he was mad. The others I'm clueless of.

On the Lion King, it looks more like SEX but if you look the bottom of the E is pointing down a little more and so in a way the F is more there than the E.

[Calhoun07]

Isn't there a web site out there that catalogues all these hidden things in Disney movies, not just the off color ones and the pg-13 and higher ones, but also hidden jokes and characters crossing over from other Disney movies and more? I had one on a favorites list that I lost when I had a program crash on my computer and I've never been able to find the site since.

[Terminatah]

I already told you people those rumors are untrue, already confirmed by the animators themselves.

Zorakfan and Barb: Are you guys trying to get banned?

Mods: Please just delete the offensive posts and leave the rest of the thread up so we can continue discussing.

Man, there are too many coincidences for them NOT to be true. Of course the animators are going to deny the validity of these things. It's all PR. They have to save face for being caught. They are the LAST people who will tell you this is all intentional, but it is.

They are the LAST people who will tell you this is all intentional, but it is. Obviously there are others that are true. Animators have been sneaking X-rated material into cartoons ever since the days of Betty Boop, and they're not ashamed to admit it, but the ones I mentioned have logical explanations.

-Terminatah

[The Dark Knight]

Save these pictures now if you want them because there is no doubt in my mind this thread will be deleted. Maybe people should read the rules before posting questionable pictures and using R-rated language.

Some of these I can see having logical explanations, but that Rescuers picture really has no possible explanation for it.

[batboy2001]

Yeah, this thread has gone a bit too far.

[Bird Boy]

this thread has gone WAAAAY too far. Hence, why the pictures and all links have been REMOVED. Feel free to talk about them, but don't go over the PG range of Language.

It is SFX not SEX anyway I remeber one day listening to the radio when the DJ starting saying how a re-release of a Disney movie onto VHS had one frame of a naked women. Callers called in saying they had a hard time finding it so the DJ gave the exact time from the start of the tape and the callers found it. I heard Disney pulled it all the tapes and replaced them with a clean version. Also there was one animated beer commercial in '95 where there was a bus load of women hanging out the window in the back ground but if you look very carefully could see that they were topless, the commercial was pulled once the beer company found out.

You can read at straightdope.com that it was because he was going along with the idea of using hidden imagery in paintings (often used in classic art, using skulls and so on in the background) but realized he went too far, mentioned it to his superior when he was done and said he'd redo it. I guess the guy he told about it forgot, it went in front of a board and was approved.

And now you know....the rest of the story.

In a similar way, I've heard that you can see a nipple hidden somewhere in Night On Bald Mountain.

straightdope.com does a good job of explaining this stuff if you care to look it up...

Many of these kinds of stories are garbage (the priest in Little Mermaid, the whispering in Aladdin) but some are true (the Rescuers pic, the Little Mermaid cover art, and Jessica Rabbit's dress flying up being the ones that seem to have truth to them)

I'm trying very hard to keep this in PG range for Bird Boy, but look it up at straightdope.com

Well, I can understand why you deleted those posts, but in my own defense, I got those from G-rated disney movies! Makes ya think.

Which is exactly why Disney execs had them pulled from the shelves once they found out!

Gotta love how people are able to blow these things completely out of line and out of context. I thought both of the supposed "contrversies" behind this was completely idiotic and pure drivel.

I personally didn't believe all of it until I saw it for myself. And to make sure I was getting it right, I showed it to friends, and there was no doubt, there is a LOT of stuff in disney cartoons (even more in the sequels that they do) that is x-rated.

I won't list them here, but we did compile a list a few years ago. And of course the animators are going to deny it. The disney company will let the animators pull some crap in the cartoons, but they will be so fired if they go out and say, "yeah, i put x-rated material in family films and was proud to do it". But if you don't want to believe it you don't have to.

[Jedigreedo]

I heard once that in Beauty and the Beast when they're going to Guaston's (I dunno if that's correct) cottage when it's shows that window and the light is shining on the snow it's supposed to have some curse word, can't remember which tho.

[DR. BELCH]

There's a whole section there about things like this. The one about the John Thomas on the cover of a Disney movie is new to me, though--I thought that was on an air freshener can (although others insist it's just part of a flower).
But Ariel is OBVIOUSLY [desnudo from the waist down as the rises from the water without her tail!

[Jedigreedo]

Well that's obvious but it was made to be practically obvious since they don't really go into any view that has any private parts just barely blocked by someone's head or something.

[James]

Yeah, the Rescuers brief nudity was true - I remember the havoc when that was noticed on freeze frame and the whole initial video batch had to be recalled! The benefits of free time and a freeze button eh? The fact that it had never been noticed prior to it's video release is bizarre yet understandable at the same time - it is for a brief second...

As for the 'castle', from the picture I saw of it in a movie mag the other month, it wasn't [i]that[i/] bad - only if you know what you are looking for.... :D

[GL2k2]

I know someone who used to work for Disney and he said the animators were told to draw Mickey Mouse easter eggs in every film. And that is the truth. But don't ever think that if your slaving away on an animated film for about two to four years that those people don't throw things in. If Disney denied it, they are just trying to cover it up by saying just that.

Is it a lie that they stole from Kimba the White Lion and Nadia for Lion King and Atlantis respectively. Nope. But if you ask them they'll say, well, uhhhh, no of course not. C'mon people open your minds to the shadiness of government and Disney. They are all corrupt.

well i dont know about the other ones, but as far as the priest getting an erection in the little mermaid, that is real. watch it in slow mo- its extremely obvious, you cant deny it.

i know for a fact cause when i was in 10th grade in my spanish class we watched the spainsh dub version of the little mermaid and a girl in my class put in in slow motion and pointed it out. it was so obvious even my teacher had to agree it was there. yeah, theyre pervs.

Oh, and about Kimba, go to that straightdope.com site Joe Tully mentioned. They have an article that says all the Lion King creators, even one who has moved on to Warner Brothers and has no reason to protect Disney, claim the Kimba stuff was purely coincidental, and cite other sources of inspiration.

[Ruffian]

I used to think that there were sex related easter eggs in some of the disney films mentioned too. After going through this thread, and even reading straightdope.com, I've changed my mind on the situation. The writer there, Cecil, made a good point about all of it, that it depends on what people see. That it's like an inkblot test, and if people want to see something there they will.

Me, I rather give Disney credibilty as I would anyone, and look at their best aspects. Saying that they have improper content in their work lets me down. Believing this is untrue now, it makes me feel better about Disney.

Ever since I heard of it till now I don't feel Lion King was a rip off. If anything it was based on Shakespeare's Hamlet, and most (if not all) of Shakespeare's plays were not original ideas either.

[RogueMartian]

If it was just me and a couple of perverted people on the internet, I'd agree with you about the inkblot test. But I tested this theory with several people. Tons of people see and hear the same thing, I don't think its really comparable to the inkblot test. Some of them are debatable. "SEX" being written in the lion king, or the cover of the little mermaid box, but the sound bytes that I've heard are just undenyable.

[Maxie Zeus]

Best discussion I've seen of these is at www.snopes2.com. Just follow the links to the "Disney Films" section. Be warned that, due to the nature of the topic, some of the artwork and discussion ventures into PG territory or beyond.

No, it is not comparable to the ink blot test.

Yes, it is comparable to what psychologists call "Self-Fulfilling Prophecy", which is when you expect certain results and then proceed to get them due to bias. How many people came out of the theater when Little Mermaid was playing saying, "Man, I can't believe that guy said that!" None. But everyone hears it when they're told that's what they're supposed to hear.

My Psych teacher once played Carroll's "Jabberwocky" backwards to us, and you didn't hear anything weird until she told you specifically what to listen for, and then you could hear all kinds of crazy stuff. Interesting, considering the poem was written before the technology was around to let you record sound and play it backwards.

I also just want to remind you of the whole "Paul is dead" thing. In case you never heard, Paul is doing O.K. :)

Self-Fulfilling Prophecies are very common. Look some stuff up about them, they're interesting. :)

Suuuuurrreeeee....if it's said enough times it magically becomes true! :rolleyes: This is proof positive of a motto on a T-shirt I once read: "Never Underestimate the Power of Large Groups of Stupid People!" :rolleyes:
