Everyone loves cartoons – both children and adults. There is always a temptation by a cartoonist to slip in a bit of something extra – something only they are aware of, but thanks to scores of teenaged boys with a pause button and too much time on their hands, we are all able to see these little in-jokes. Unfortunately for companies like Disney, some of them are a little on the naughty side and they have been the root of legal battles. Here is a list of 10 naughty moments found in cartoons.
During the sequence in The Hunchback Of Notre Dame in which Quasimodo sings ‘Out There’ (one of the best songs on the soundtrack), as we pan over a view of Paris from the bell tower, characters from other Disney movies can be seen in the background. Most prominently is Belle (Beauty & The Beast) strolling along in her blue dress and reading a book of course. More sharp eyed viewers may also spot Pumbaa from The Lion King being carried by two men, a street merchant shaking out the flying carpet from Aladdin and even a satellite dish on one of the rooftops. In the clip above you need to watch from around 02:45.
When you go through the movie pocahontas and look at each scene carefully, you find it is of references to sex. In the video clip above the job has been done for you – some are pretty obscure, but others are very very clear enough to be fairly convincing evidence of intentional inclusion in the movie.
This is a more popular one. The rumour was that a disgruntled artist who was going to lose his job drew the phallic object in the castle of The Little Mermaid in annoyance over his impending redundancy. However the artist himself says that he was not about to be fired, but was forced to hurry drawing the design so that he could meet his deadline and did not realise at the time the exact shape of what he had drawn. Well he didn’t until he was contacted by a disgusted member of his youth church group who had heard about the controversy. Obviously, later version of the video had the infamous spire removed.
In keeping with The Little Mermaid theme, another popular accusation for the Disney producers came when someone noticed the rather odd shape protuding from the minister’s pelvic region during the scene in which a Ursula (disguised as ‘Vanessa’) attempts to marry Eric using Ariel’s voice. However later shots in the film show that the minister had rather bandy legs that blended in with his tunic and the ‘erection’ was actually his knees.
Another popular one. Long has been the debate over the dust cloud in The Lion King. In the scene just before Simba meets Rafiki, he tiredly flops down on the edge of a cliff, a cloud of dust rises which allegedly for a few frames spell the word S-E-X. The debate is that the special effects team put it in intending it to read S-F-X to leave their little mark on the film. I say judge for yourself but it looks like ‘sex’ to me (as in indicated in red in the picture above).
Disney characters and Warner Brothers characters interacted for the first time in the 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit? and cartoon fans cheered. However during and evening at The Ink & Paint Club, Donald Duck and Daffy Duck duet on the piano together and the relationship turns nasty when Donald allegedly calls Daffy a “nigger”. Anybody who has seen a Donald Duck cartoon should know that it can sometimes be quite difficult to understand what Donald says but thinking you hear him scowling “God damn stupid nigger” takes the cake. Closed captioning in the film says that the line is “Goddurn stubborn nitwit”, other claim it is “You doggone little…” But this is not the first time Donald has been busted for his language. In 1995, Wal Mart pulled a Disney video of Mickey Mouse cartoons from it’s shelf after complaints that Donald shouted “Fuck you!” in the episode called “Clock Cleaners”.
The scene in Aladdin on Jasmine’s balcony in which the hero is trying to brush off the growling tiger Rajah, he can apparently be heard whispering “Good teenagers take off your clothes”. The script says that the line is “Good kitty, take off and go”. The clip sounds like somebody else other than the Aladdin voice has whispered the line in but no matter which line is actually spoken, this allegation got Disney in hot water with the American Life League who used it to try and get Disney films banned, claiming they had been sneaking sexual messages to children over the years.
A cartoon heart-throb, Who Framed Roger Rabbit’s Jessica Rabbit has over the years helped to turn a lot of young boys into men. So wishes came true when the claim that cheeky animators sneaked in a few frames of her without underwear during the scene in which Jessica and Bob Hoskins in a taxi that runs into a lamp-post. As she is thrown from the car, Jessica lands, causing her red dress to hitch up revealing her apparently unclothed nether regions. In some cases it has been tradition for animators to slip racy shots in films for a split second but it seems that their fun can be spoilt by young men pausing the scene in movie where Jessica Rabbit spreads her legs. Now why they would do that, I have no idea…
In 1999, Disney studios announced that they would be recalling the home video version of the 1977 movie The Rescuers because a few shots contained an “objectional background image”. During the scene in which the mousy heroes Bernard and Bianca fly through the city in a sardine tin (about 38 minutes into the movie) a photographic image of a topless woman can be seen in the windows they pass. While some of the items on this list are objectionable and some have been proven wrong, this one is pretty clear and Disney studios had to hang their heads in shame. It was confirmed by a Disney spokesperson who simply said that the tampering “was done more than twenty years ago” and the company recalled 3.4 million copies of the video that had been sold.
In the movie Beauty and the Beast we see many references to sex (as in some of the previous items), but we also see some satanic references. Pay special attention to the clip above from about the 02:55 mark to see some very blatant symbols of evil such as a skull and the sign of the horns. The latter part of the clip deals with morality and I think the narrator may be stretching things a little, but it is an interesting clip nevertheless.
There is an image in the Bugs Bunny cartoon “The Wabbit that Came to Dinner” that clearly shows Bugs’ penis. The animators actually admitted to it.
Stop Lying hacker T_T 29 Nov 1999 i’d like to see how u hacked ur way into making a comment from the past in a video in THE future =_=
In the references outlined in item #1 -Beauty and the Beast
I'm an artist, specifically of tattoos, with years of study and design of the field, as well as a lifetime of art and drawing in all types of other media.
After viewing the video, and lacking any narrative of the many, many sited "examples" most look to me of a type of image called criddlers by many folks.
Criddlers are unintentional symbols/designs/objects that can inadvertently be found in almost any drawing or piece of art when viewed from a different angle or fine tooth combed for the odd configuration.
In other words, criddlers pop out when you least expect them. Yes sometimes they can be interpreted in a negative manner to the artist. Often they are more of a stretch of the imagination of a biased individual, who is looking VERY hard for something to be offended by, or start a controversy with.
I have had criddlers jump out of my art work, usually when viewed upside down. Mine are always unintentional, and almost always benign in content.
Sometimes they happen when an artist focuses on the minute detail of a portion of the picture-tree bark, puddles, foliage, etc. and does not become visible to the artist. Until someone else not so close to the piece notices how some shading SEEMS to form a something.
Mind you I'm only commenting on the criddlers as outlined in #1. Many of those others have been taken to court, and if not intentional in origin, were unarguably not G rated, in the final result.
I totally agree with you! soooommmmee people see ***** everywhere. Hmmm maybe they need to have themselves checked by someone!
I agree with you
You can be sure that everything you create might be criddlers as you said, but how can you be so sure that those signs made by others artists are criddlers and not made on purpose? and while people already is getting the knowledge of what is going on in this planet regarding the NWO agenda. Think about in what they have been planning for centuries, and how they put in their minds that "is from little that twists the cucumber"
Agree xD its obvious that they are trying so harf to look for that word
It’s called Subliminal Advertising in business life. Research it could be useful for your tattoo thing.
Trust me these things are not accidental. The Elite has one thing in mind – destroy or control people in every way possible – In this case introduce ***** at a very early age in children. Who knows maybe they start having ***** at 7?
the ***** images are so far fetched. and who is this guy who sits there freeze framing every disney movie?
who cares anyway. we all make up our own minds about ***** were not going to take off our clothes just because a voice we never even noticed in aladdin told us to.
exactlyyy
It all goes in our subconscious.
Oh, please.
Ever heared of Subliminal Advertising? It’s a whole section that business students study. we use it to arouse specific desires in customers in order to make them buy desired products. The innocent customer’s brain registers messages subliminally without the person ever knowing. This way of advertising is used by Hollywood and politicians to brainwash people, or in the above case to introduce ***** at a very early age in children.
A few of these are of course probably intentional but most of this stuff is our own dirty minds forcing things into focus that don’t really exist. This is another example of people wanting to blame disney or anyone else for their own inability to affectively teach children what is right or wrong or insane.
Im a business student and your wrong. Your explanation is very off track. Big deal ***** sells who dosnt know that.
First? Wow… is the list called Naughty or Hidden Images?
brr..
this is just so absurd..why would they do that to the kids???
get over it
At 24 frames a second, no one would notice… Until of course, the invention of dvds
the subliminal mind notices, consciousness is only limited to 7 bits of information,the subconscious is known to process over 30 million bits.
Per Second
I can’t believe you published my list
Cheers, I am honoured.
Haha wow! I’d seen most of the obvious ones but some of these! For shame Disney!
Haha I’m going into animation, maybe I will go work at Disney ;D seems like theyre having lots of fun there!
what the *****!
Do I get paid now?
Wow nice list.. I cant believe they’re doing these stuff over the years. I wonder if there are more of these around.
Yep here’s one on the new Tangled movie: http://bit.ly/iahE90
You’re *****y
Not so sure with the Pocahontas claims but the rest are interesting!
I never knew about the Pocahontas one, but the Jessica Rabbit one has been my… “favourite” for years.
ha ha love it. Brilliant, who finds these things i mean it feels kinda creepy, reminds me of the thundercats audio with them up to no good.
Celluloid guns on the list, g – been many a time, eventide, when to the glisten of Marge Simpson’s swagger my third leg would ride
yo
Man some of this stuff is totally reaching O.o I mean, the Pocahontas and Beauty and the Beast stuff is ridiculous. I love how the positions of peoples fingers can be considered a sublimial message about the devil. Ridiculous.
Good list though (Y)
Wow! The guy who did #9 on the list really just needs to get laid! I use the most exclamation marks of all the people I know; it’s true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stolen from “The Simpsons”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haha, I meant point…my bad
i liked the idea for this list but i’m not too impressed with all of the content. Particularly the youtube videos about Pocahontas and Beauty and the Beast. I find it strange that a guy is freeze framing children’s movies to point out all these supposed examples of the word ***** in the movies. Furthermore, i think he just looked for any part of the frame that happened to have an X in it, and found a way to make it work. Also, his arguement about the enchantress was weak. Really, would it have worked if the old hag had turned into an “old hag looking enchantress”? I think not.
As for my opinion on all the subliminal messages, they need to stick to their day jobs. I am not turned on by cartoons.
haha i knew about most of these, pretty funny!
Is this list serious? Sure the topless lady from The Rescuers and Jessics Rabbit’s “Lady Garden” (WTF??? – Lady Garden? What crap does this person READ to get a reidiculous expression like that?) – are ‘old news’ as are the ‘cameo’s in ‘Hunchback’ but the subliminal messages are a load of crap – I think there are a couple of people with WAAAAAAYYY too much time on their hands and WAAAAAYYY too much in the way of ***** on their tiny little pre-pubescent minds.
What a crock of *****. Get the regular list-writers back in harness the last few offerings have been pretty ordinary.
In Japanese Hentai it is common to have *****ual references on the cartoons and no one complains… but in America… because they’re all a bunch of prudes they make a big deal about it!
Besides people see what they want to see and I dont believe kids realise those images… who stares at castles looking for penis’? Freaks!
Someone just print screened the Jessica Rabbit image and took it with them to the toilet… I wonder why?
Dude, hentai is *****. I'd be worried if ***** didn't have any kind of *****ual references in it. Oh, wait…
It's the shoujo/shounen anime and manga (the stuff geared towards kids) with the *****ual references that you should be pointing out. Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball Z for example…
I do find the Pocahontas and Beauty and the Beast YouTube vids so far-fetched it's not even funny.
its a bit worrying about the pocahontas one….why was what sounds like a fully grown man watching it so closely????
What about bloody GIR?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloody_Gir#Bloody_GIR
I thought the list was called ‘Top 10 Hidden Images Found in Cartoons’, not ‘Top 10 Hidden Images Found in Disney Cartoons’- I hate Disney.
That explains why the beginning of Beauty an the beast always creeped me out.
I’ve always been interested in Disney’s hidden messages. You should do a list on the hidden mickeys they have in movies. I saw a few on this list to begin with…..
P.S. I’m new to this site. Seems pretty cool. Hiya guys!
me too it's rly cool and interesting to know what those devil worshipers are enforcing into kids' minds. they r really dirty its sad
Shagrat (19): Would you rather me have been so bold as to say “Jessica Rabbit’s Muff?”
The3ggman; Welcome. We love new blood.
ya i saw the youtube video with all of these but still funny none the less
This list was pretty interesting. Good job!
However, why can’t people just enjoy movies as they are?
Reaching. Really reaching. You can find any image you want in any picture you want if you just look hard enough and ignore the context and surroundings. When only a couple of the things on the list has any basis in reality, well that makes for a fairly unsatisfying list.
Do over.
i found nothing strange with those images…your mind just too dirty JF….lol
bahaha… and i still love my cartoons, perhaps even more? =P
Well, thanks for the chuckles. The serious young man who created the in depth *****yses of Pocahontas and Beauty and the Beast has cheered me up no end this afternoon. Maybe I find his pronouncements exceptionally silly because I have already been twisted by my exposure to Disney. It probably also explains why I taught my neices to do “rockhands” before the insidious conditioning of Disney got to work on them.
bahaha… and i still love my cartoons, but some of this nis just overexaggeration!
Very cool list! Even if some of these are dubious, it’s very interesting to see how obsessive and prudish people can get…
I think that those who check all the Disney movies frame by frame by frame, looking for phallic or other offensive images, are are the real sick people…
it’s got worse since the live action stuff, there is a full ***** scene in high school musical…. They cut it last minute though.
love this list
even though i knew about most of them
its still a cool list
more please :]
For those impressed by this list, check out the Bible code, should be right up your alley.
I kind of like the phrase “lady garden.” Although it looks like Jessica’s has been ermm….pruned. No matter- I will always love Disney.
I'd hate to spoil it for you, but Jessica Rabbit is not from Disney, she's Richards. >)
Sorry, but if Shakespeare had read this list he would have declared, “Much adoe about nothing”
Interesting list but I think some of the word images are just “criddlers” (yeah I like tattoos) which are simply unintentional words that can be formed and seen in art and swirls etc..some of the images seem valid and cool, some of it I think is just dudes spending too much time in front of the tv..go outside, get some fresh air
This is quite a well put together list tha… wait a minute, is that a black helicopter! Damn, where did I put my tin foil hat!
It doesn't surprise me that these images/messages are in Children's Cartoons, nor that it was the work of DISNEY. Walt Disney was a megalomaniac Nazi and personal friend of Adolph Hitler. Disney would show privately made movies to Hitler and top Nazi echelon, among these a Donald Duck cartoon where Donald sends thousands of Mickey Mouse like creatures to GAS SHOWERS. The available "Nazi Donald Duck" content on the web is the mere tip of the iceberg. Most of the cartoons were destroyed after the War and sadly lost to History.
I quote M.P. Helmholtz on his thoughts about DISNEY and CARTOON CHARACTERS…
"Walt Disney is frozen underneath the Pirates of the Carribean ride at Disneyland. This has been proven to be true from numerous sources, some that state that all profits from the Pirates of the Carribean movies have been embezzled to provide for the reanimation of Walt Disney, a right-wing corporate overlord who created an empire dedicated to the preservation of his body and his conservative politics and when the reanimation is complete, most likely in the years 2010-2012, he will rise again and use his mesmerizing hypnotic powers over children to produce a blind race of followers dedicated to killing and destruction in the name of Disney agenda, an agenda that has invented a way for cartoon characters to come to life, they collaborated with NAZI scientists using QUANTUM PHYSICS and MEMETIC ENERGY and will send Cartoon Characters after Spaceship Jesus trying to destroy It. You think Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck are FICTIONAL CREATIONS? Do you realize they EXIST IN REAL TIME and since they are two dimensional, they can hide in any small space? THERE ARE CARTOON CHARACTERS HIDING IN YOUR DESKS AND DRAWERS AND CLOSETS. YOU JUST CANNOT SEE THEM!!!!! We must stop the reanimation of Walt Disney! DESTROY WALT DISNEY'S FROZEN CORPSE ANY MEANS NECESSARY!!!
Cartoon characters have decimated American thought. They are real entities which hide in small spaces and try to influence your thoughts using HYPERSONIC WAGNER WAVES and DIRECT-LINK VACUUM WORMS!!!! Pink Panther is really a homo*****ual ploy to trick men into having intercourse with sperm whales, not squid, even though ironically using the color of the squid. Charlie Brown promotes baldness as a good thing…BALD MEN ARE BAD. Lenin was bald. Blofeld from the 007 films was bald. Mussolini was bald. BALD = BAD. Bugs Bunny is a transvestite, Yosemite Sam is a homo*****ual bear, Daffy Duck is a racist, black supremacist Al Sharpton supporter. Mickey Mouse tries to encourage children to submit themselves to ROBO-ANIMAL ALLIANCE AGENDA, Donald Duck is a NAZI, Goofy promotes gay dentist agenda. Woody Woodpecker is a homo*****ual (look at the name). The Flintstones are innaccurate depictions of ancient times…there are NO HOTELS in the Flintstones cartoons…besides humans did not exist in the stone age, only the Homo Primaris species before they became men. No mention of lava or ice in Flintstones. The Jetsons show a world where robots are our friends — do not believe this! Speedy Gonzalez promotes MEXICAN agenda against all other races. National Geographic ***** Scooby Doo likes to play games with reality and distort them in such bizarre ways that one doesn't know if white people are ice monkeys and if electronics are our friends…!!!! The Simpsons provide an ironic commentary on life all the while pandering to the notion that one doesn't need Spaceship Jesus or to stay in hotels to have happiness. "
It behooves the reader and rational thinker to step aside and piece together the puzzle piece clues that M.P. Helmholtz realized, and to surrender themselves to the sordid truth that these cartoons are Dangerous Propoganda. There is evidence of Donald Duck Nazi cartoons, "rumors" spread about Disney being frozen for future reanimation, cartoon characters have hidden meanings, and most frightening of all, Nazi physics experiments which have allowed Two-Dimensional entities to enter into our Three-Dimensional world. Ignorant people who deny the reality of a Two-Dimensional Phase Union brought by Colonial Parasites, often claim: "If Cartoon Characters are real and here, why can't I see them?" Obviously if they exist in inferior dimensions, it would be difficult if not downright impossible to sense them with our own eyes. A two-dimensional entity can exist in spaces smaller than HYDROGEN ATOMS, simply by turning to the side and becoming flat.
The appalling reality is there are trillions of cartoons everywhere, watching us, listening to us, and trying to control us with their agenda. 2D Entities are in service to Homo*****ual Agenda, Nazi Agenda, and Ghost Shark Agenda. It takes my breath away that people can have facts staring them in the eye, just like this Top Ten list, and still live in a warped illusionary reality.
This is the single greatest appraisal of Disney's complete works I have ever seen. Thanks for the lulz!
O wow. I love this comment so much. Perhaps the funniest comment I've ever read on anything. The "smaller than even hydrogen atoms" thing was genius and very witty. Thank you for your intelligence…
You, sir, are an idiot.
Ellie, you’re fairly idiotic yourself. Just because someone uses words and content that isn’t in your vocabulary doesn’t mean their idiot as you plead. Place your snark comments elsewhere . You baffoon .
You Amaze me.
I personally think this guy’s kidding,I mean,THERE ARE CARTOONS IN YOUR CLOSET! This is definatly a joke,*slow applause* well done,well done
The thought is scary sir i say we nuke disneyland and btw whats spaceship jesus?
Not really a fan of this list, conceptually. Too many of these seem like they were stretched too far in order to reach the subliminal interpretation.
The Pocahontas video really did nothing except make its creator look kind of sad and perverted. The Aladdin clip makes much more sense with “Take off and go”.
Hell, even with The Rescuers, even though it IS real, it isn’t going to be noticed by anyone unless they make an effort to go looking for it.
Wow, I had heard of a lot of these but never really viewed them before. Very informative list.
Disney's negative influence continues today, as they promote such faux-lebrities as Hannah Montana. Surprise, surprise that so many tweens now want to be anorexic, big haired, overly made up and provocatively dressed just like their idol. Notice how many of their teen "stars" wind up with naked pics of themselves on the internet? Kids are being influenced by these people, and it's having a greater effect on them than we realise. Disney has to answer for what they are promoting.
One question I have is why would they do these things – the subliminal messages? What are they getting out of corrupting children's minds?
Shut the hell up..up tight damn idiot!
Disney owns your soul!
I found them when I was 8 my siblings and I are very observant….when we told our parents Disney was banned from our house and I didn’t understand then but I do now that I have my own son…I do not want him finding those on a movie.
Oh, wow! I have been a fan of cartoons, and their subliminal images, for as long as I can remember!
I got started on the original Betty Boop cartoons, and the Fleisher Bros. cartoons (both only ostensibly for children, but then most cartoons of the early era were really for adults). My interest grew all the way through school, and while still in grammar school, my parents bought an 8 mm movie camera, with 3 lenses, which my brother and I immediately learned to operate. We made many stop-action movies, living cartoons, and like the real thing we put in some subliminal images ourselves (very innocent ones, we were, after all, only 8 and 10 yrs. old).
My brother, a director, will slip in some telling little background item or action.
I’m a photographer full-time now, and my images almost always have a secret somewhere within them.
The lessons of childhood are the ones we keep most dear.
I feel like some of these are definetly A stretch. Ive seen alot of these before and yeah some like the rescuer’s one are obviously there but most aren’t. and it’s hard to for me to believe they’re not creative enough to find something other than ***** to put in every other scene. I mean come on. Do something creative like, I don’t know like having the character give a quick flash of the “goods” coming out the shower…..oh wait.. or not….lol
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wueL_SOx4QM
None of these are real. Except maybe the Pocahontas one. Check out snopes.com
Travis @ 20, that’s because it’s Japanese HENTAI, as you’ve just said. Hentai is animated *****. No one complains because IT’S HENTAI and it’s suppose to have those types of images.
Also note that Japan is a place where rape is glorified and cartoon child ***** is sold openly in conveience stores. :/
HAHA! Donald duck is an ass!
That was the best part of this list and makes me wanna go watch that movie now!
Jeez people need to chill out about this list.
It’s just a bit of fun
You’d think people had never heard of the word, the way some are reacting on here.
Hahahaha! Thats so funny. but i don’t get, why they would recall the products.. it’s just a breast.. some ppl have way too much time and should have good ***** instead, then they wouldn’t complain about nothings
People read waaaay to much into this stuff geez get lives its a disney movie
you are wrong. watch the arrivals on youtube. youl see
I know I’m getting old but I’m obviously missing something,especially in the Pocohontas clip. Boy it takes a lot of imagination to see “*****” written everywhere in that video. It’s like lying on your back as a child and looking at the clouds. You can pretty well see whatever you want to see. I believe this list is either “tongue-in-cheek” or much ado about nothing
Whoever made number 9 should go suck on number 8
ok, well beauty and the beast takes place in france so that makes a little sense…. just a homage
as for the ‘evil symbols’ who really cares and skulls aren’t really that evil
hmm watching it he’s seeing his death coming and he doesn’t like it
the girls giving the sign obviously they are not doing properly
the thumb is out plus they are singing about gaston, shwoing he is the evil one
the old lady turning its like the whole gods or angels asking for help as test
its a curse
as for idolizing duhr they are watching the handsome man
I like how with the three girls at the pump, the one in red is leaning on the pump with her breasts. What the heck, Disney?
Ok, wow. This is out of hand. The guy meticulously nitpicking every frame of Disney movies to find references to ***** and the devil…just wow. I could probably find similar shapes that kinda sorta maybe spell out “*****” in every picture I have on my walls, because it’s just not there unless you are looking for it. I can’t figure out if that guy is serious or not…it seems so pointless and silly. Also, hundreds of people work on these films. If someone did put the word “*****” somewhere on purpose, it’s probably because they are dead bored at drawing the same scene over and over. It’s not some big conspiracy! And, are people really that worried that seeing the word “*****” will warp their children or something? This is so pointless.
@Amanda M: That made me think of how in “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” when everyone is dancing together in the dwarfs’ house, Grumpy is playing the organ and seems to working the bellows using his butt. It’s pretty weird.
@Dr. Bart Huygens: Are you serious? Or are you a very creative troll? Wow.
