Dirt on Disney


So as some of you might know Disney is not all "kid friendly." There have been some roomers about the content in some of the Disney films. I will give you the scoop and let you decide if its fact or fiction.

In the first movie The Rescuers, there is a topless woman in the window. Fact or fiction....well on this one Disney agreed that it was true, and in 1999 recalled the 1977 video. Disney claims that it was not put into the movie by their animators but were inserted during a post production process. This scene is approximately 38 min into the movie, and occurs twice.


The next few Disney movies are not as clear cut as the Rescuers. Next I bring your attention to Aladdin. In the scene where Aladdin takes the magic carpet up to Jasmines' balcony, as the tiger Rasha approaches Aladdin. As he says down kitty, if you listen carefully Aladdin says under his breath "All good teenagers take of their clothes." Although Disney says that the script is suppose to say C'mon . . . good kitty. Take off and go. And the closed captioning says "Good Kitty Take Off," kinda fishy to me. Is this something Disney put into their movies to make them sell..think about it sex sells, and how many people went and rented or bought this Movie when this scandal broke. So fact or fiction.

Another movie with quite a bit of controversy is the Lion King. In this movie the word SEX appears in the night sky as Simba flops down on the cliff and dust flies up. If you look at the picture on the left I can clearly see the word sex in it. But is this only cause my mind is telling me to. But to some people this is not the only place where the word SEX appears. This You Tube video points out many other possibilities. So is it true or our minds seeing what we where told was there.



Another Disney movie is the Little Mermaid. This movie is the one that I personally noticed when I watched this movie. On the front of the original cover one of the spires of the castle looks alot like a penis. Disney once again denies this was on purpose, and it was just a result of hurried detailing. Along with the cover, at the end of the movie when the Priest says "Dearly Beloved." he seems to get an erection. Now Disney once again denies this and goes as far as to say it is his knee. Disney did change the cover of the Little Mermaid, although sticking to the story that it was not put there on purpose by the artist. We may never know however, we can use our best judgment when showing them to our children.
