Subliminal Messages in Disney Movies

The Disney Corporation has always been known for putting subliminal messages in some of their most famous animated movies. Many of the messages, which are not subliminal, can be either seen or heard if you listen or look close enough. Every time a new Disney film comes out, “message hunters” compete to see who can find them first and then post them on YouTube or write about them in their blogs. The animated TV series South Park has recently made light of Disney’s reputation and showed Mickey Mouse using the Jonas Brothers as a way to introduce sex to young girls. Many people will argue that these occurrences are just coincidences, but how can Disney make a “mistake” this many times? Below is a short compiled list of where you can find some of Disney’s naughty messages:

1. The Little Mermaid- The priest has an erection as he is performing Eric and Ursula’s wedding. This has been edited out of modern DVD releases. Among other hidden erotica in The Little Mermaid, the cover is very phallic. The artist sent the cover for approval and it was decided that some changes were to be made. However, no changes were ever made to the original VHS cover, and the audience received the intended message. There is also a point in the movie where Ariel is leaning on a rock. In the lower right hand corner, you can see a gun resting on the same rock.

2. Aladdin- When Aladdin is trying to get Jasmine’s attention out on the balcony, you can hear him whisper, “Good teenagers take your clothes off.” Ironically, Jasmine’s face is stunned in the next frame. When being bucked off of the horse he was riding, Jafar says, “Take off your clothes”. That’s twice in one movie!

3. Pocahontas- Throughout the entire movie, the word “sex” is spelled out in various frames. Also, there are times where the men in the movie are making sexual suggestions with their hands.

4. The Lion King- While atop a cliff thinking about his father, Simba stares at the clouds which boldly spell out “sex”. While Simba and his friends are walking with the moon behind them, the outline of a naked man with an erection can be seen in the upper right corner of the moon.

5. The Rescuers- When Bernard and Bianca are flying through the city, they pass a building where there is a topless model in the window.

6. Who Framed Roger Rabbit? – In the scene where Jessica jumps out of the taxi, you can see her lady parts quite clearly while her skirt is open.

7. Winnie the Pooh- In one movie, Piglet is shown with a cigarette in his mouth. Disney says that it was a pretzel rod that fell on the frame during projection.

8. Beauty and the Beast- Besides the fact that the Beast is staring at Belle’s breasts while they’re dancing, there is an outline of a naked man behind her. In many other scenes, different characters are making suggestive signs with their hands.

Subliminal messages appear often in Disney films but are sometimes hard to find unless you’ve been clued in. Visit YouTube for videos that point out some of Disney’s dirty secrets.
