Allegedly, the priest is having an erection in the scene, although it is equally plausible that the featured protuberance is his knee knob. Another ‘iffy’ scene is the one in which Ariel’s nemesis Ursula is about to marry Prince Eric.
Needless to say, subsequent releases of the film had the ‘innocent’ mistake amended. He drew the controversial tower without realizing the similarity and remained oblivious to it until he was contacted by an angry member of a youth church group.
Apparently, the truth is the artist was simply in a hurry to finish his work before the very tight deadline imposed by the studio. Disgruntled, he decided to boycott the flick with his best weapons and added a spire that looked just like a penis. Legend has it the graphic artist commissioned to draw the poster learned he was about to be fired. To begin with, many have argued that one tower of the underwater castle featured on the poster is rather phallic in shape. When you’ve got a children’s flick whose poster features a main character clad in nothing save for a shell-shaped bustier and a… fish tail (!), chances are there are going to be lots of sexual innuendos afoot, be they intentional or otherwise. What about Disney films, though? How many of them contain ‘naughty’, potentially sexual or otherwise disturbing imagery? Find out below… Proponents of censorship in the United States have been long protesting subliminal messages in a variety of media, from Led Zeppelin and Beatles songs to various video games and film. The biggest danger in this situation, of course, is mass manipulation by the media. Since this is a subconscious process, it is difficult to become aware of it and control it appropriately. Our subconscious, however, is quick to pick up even such subtle signs and record them for future reference. Our conscious mind makes no note of them. That is to say, subliminal messages are those which fall right below our threshold or limit of perception. Etymologically, subliminal comes from the Latin language and means ‘beyond the threshold’. Quite the contrary, actually-many Disney films (and we’re talking classics here, not some obscure short length features that no one’s ever heard of) contain subliminal messages.įirst off, the notion of ‘subliminal’ must be defined. However, some of you might be shocked to learn (while others will have forever suspected this) that Disney movies are not as ‘clean’, pure and innocent as the film industry moguls would like us to believe. They have delighted generation upon generation of viewers, who reveled in watching their beautifully cinematic stories, where evil was vanquished and the forces of good always prevailed. Their productions speak of morality, ethics and other such lofty values. Disney is a film production company known the world over for its wonderful films for children and young adults.
