In October 1999 Pat Shenck and her 8 year old son went on 'water sprite' jet skis on one of the park lagoons. One of their jet skis got stuck on the water when the shift wouldn't move out of neutral. A 23-year old inexperienced "captain' of the ferryboat "Kingdom Queen" hit them. Going against all park and safety regulations, he put the ferry into reverse, sucking Mrs. Shenck under the blades and boat, killing her. Before Disney called the "real" police and ambulance, they had divers in the water collecting evidence, looking for her body and pulling the bits of clothing and body from under the ferry. When they finally did find the body they tethered it to a buoy and left it in the lagoon for hours, refusing to let it be moved or let anyone to go out and attend to it until after nightfall when the visitors wouldn't see it and the ride wouldn't have to be shut down. Mind you -- her 8 year old son is there this whole time. I can't imagine anything so sick, and cruel.


That's beyond messed up. If I was that kid, when I grew up I would sue them into next week.

I think the Lion King was more based on the Japanese cartoon - Kimba, the White Lion . Not only are the names similar, but much animation is similar, and there are many similar story arcs. The Lion King (Simba) is, IMO of course, nothing more than a blatant rip-off.


I have NEVER been a Disney fan (with possibly the exception of Pirates of the Caribbean) and the above statement is one of the many reasons why. It's true, The Lion King was a flat out Rip-off of the earlier "Kimba, the White Lion". In fact if you liked the Lion King, go rent Kimba, it's MUCH better... the animation is beautiful and the story line is better, and you will be flattened by how badly Disney plagerized this classic Japanese animation.

I have two favorite cartoon things that make you go hmmmm...

Woody Woodpecker: There's an episode when Woody goes to lease a "nest" in a tree and he's handed a "rental agreement" of sorts. He unrolls the document and if you look carefully, 2 of the five rules are "No loose women" and "No opium smoking". It's really funny.

Speedy Gonzales: There's an episode of Speedy where his tequilla loving cousins are in a cantina singing a rather overly saucy song about their love for tequilla and Rosalita the lovely seniorita.

Of course in defense of Speedy and Woody, at the time when they were created, the target audience wasn't really children.

Alot of Disney's movies are not really original...most of the older stuff is reimaginings of fairy tales and books...like Peter Pan, Cinderella, Snow White, Alice in Wonderland,etc. All the newer stuff like Toy Story is more of Pixar's doing and Disney just producing it.

True, and I have no problem with that, fairy tales and books like Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland are either public domain, or done with the permission of the person(s) who owns the copyright. However, the Lion King/Kimba the White Lion, wasn't. That's what irritates me. From my understanding, the creators of Kimba never bothered to fight Disney on the plagerism, they felt the costs to do so far outweighed the benefits.

A loto f hidden sexual content has been found in almost all animated Disney films. Even I have to admit that some of does look like it was deliberately added. For example, in the Disney film "The Rescuers", you can see an undeniable picture of a topless woman in one of the windows in the background while the two mice are flying through the city in a sardine box. Also in the film Aladdin, you can cleary hear a voice say "Take off your clo..." whille Aladdin is trying to shush the tiger. As for all the other rumors, I think those are BS. yes.gif

So do you believe that Disney has been hiding sexual content in thier films? For those of you that don't know what I'm talking about...

I wonder if the original people who wrote it even had any copyrights.

All the kiddie shows are a little disturbing. The Mousekateers all were a bunch of little backside grabbing, cigarette smoking super freaks even in the 1950's. Pee Wee Herman? Come on! A name like "Pee Wee?" Did we have any doubt? Captain Kangaroo with that haircut? Mr. Green Jeans? What the hell was in his pants that was green? Ah, the list goes on and on.

It's not intentional sextual content. It's like how Song of the South has been banned... wtf? As if they was in any way racism. What a joke.

But in this day and age we go looking for thigns to complain about.

Sexuality is a big part of life and HAS to feature in many films anyway. So unless everyone wants an andronoynous slow white, it's hardly possible to avoid.

As for Kimba... Disney did a better job with Simba, so i couldn't care less. original.gif The lions in the Japanese film are ugly... and it being Japanese has 10 frames per hour.

Western animation has always been far superior and will continue to be. This should give Disney the right to rip any wester tripe off they like. original.gif

Nah, i am joking. It's strange how Disney got away with The Lin King. Probably because it is the best animated film in existance.

Yeah, I get these articles in my email with all of these wierd pictures from Disney movies. I tried forwarding them and attaching them but it didn't work. I can't believe people actually do these kinds of things... exspecially to kids' movies. (kristiniac_@hotmail.com) kristiniac.spaces.live.com

It's really no big secret that they do. Animators, when left in enclosed spaces doing repetitive tasks for too long, develop a somewhat quirky sense of humor. Like artists throughout history, they put in little tiny un-asked for details that cause the viewers to go huh.gif .



Yeah I think that's a lot of it.

I didn't hear about the naughty message Rafiki says in The Lion King audio book though, that's weird.


This makes me think of what the creators of Looney Toons said when they were confronted on the sometimes excessive violence and racism in the cartoons and how it might affect children.

They said that Looney Toons was never meant for kids. mellow.gif

Also, it's not like they had something totally innocent to build off of in the first place. Most fairy tales are quite violent/sexual in nature. Now that I think of it, Disney plays up the sex part of it more than intentional "dark fairy tale" interpretations- like "Into the Woods"-- which is fantastic, dearies, I highly recommend it. Anyway back to the point:
*Sleeping Beauty had themes of violence, rape, and cannibalism (Wikipedia article)
*Rapunzel bore the prince's twins in the wilderness, while the witch blinded him by means of thorns in the eyes (Wikipedia source)
*Little Red Riding Hood has many sexual references in its nature (Still Wikipedia)
*Snow White's wicked stepmother had hot iron shoes put on her feet- she danced until she fell down dead (Do I need to say this source? Lol.)

in the Lion King there was nudity in the whole Movie

I don't think showing death and violence is a terrible thing in a cartoon i would rather have my children exposed to death and violence on tv to prepare them for the real world as they get older then have un prepared for it and experience it for themselves.



Don't you think introducing kids to sex is better than violence? tongue.gif

Everything on the OP's list was debunked on snopes a while ago, the only one that might be true is the "sex" leaves in the Lion King, and even those may be "SFX", the swirly leaves were a pretty cool special effect when TLK came out.

I think they do it so that adults can enjoy the movie too, and laugh, by adding "jokes" that only adults could understand.
That, and bored artists with an awesome sense of humor. thumbsup.gif

I think its an individual thing. The life of an animator is actually very boring (draw pictures used for only 1/24 of a second). The temptation to stick crazy things inside (Eg vent sexual frustration) got to be very high!

Now, I know this is not Disney but it is...Does any1 remember that redhead from Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Well,its been reported that when she spins around on a office chair she has no panties I know this because there is a show on TV that shows these kind of things.Also on Aladdin I don't think they say "Take off your clothes" What I heard now this is what I heard + my copy is like 11 years old is "Take off the sound." I think this is because hes telling the tiger to be quiet..soo.....maybe one o the sound guys has a boomstick or something and it catches someones voice.

OOOHHH YEAH! Having growing up with with Rockos Modern Life and so on i think older cartoons were less serious because think its pre 9/11 and pre every thing so i think things were less serious.


And I was watching A episode of Rockos Modern Life being bored one day and I saw this!!...

Rocko and Heffer go to A carnivil and theres a ride operator there and hes talking 2 Rocko and Heffer hes holding DUN DA TA DA! A Playboy magazine with a naked girl on the front.And I saw another episode when Rocko is at his house chasing a fly and his dog is behind him running for the fly and if u look on the wall theres a picture of a girl in a bikini bending over,and! Theres one more episode where Heffer goes over 2 The Bigheads (neigjbors) he barges in runs in the bedroom and screams I NEED YOUR HELPP!!! And when he barges in the guy is putting on his pants while the women is putting on her shirt and there is some sort of rapper on the ground perhaps a Trojan or 2????

I can’t say about the newer stuff, but I don’t think anyone would have tried it while Walt was alive. Walt was known for looking at each frame of each film before he would approve the release. There is a story about some artists who thought they would have some fun with Walt. For his birthday party, an animator made a short film of Mickey and Minnie doing the “wild thing.” Walt laughed and asked who made it. When the animator came forward, Walt fired him on the spot. My guess would be that if he got so upset over a “joke” that would never be released, I don’t think anyone with the slightest hint of self-preservation would have tried to slip anything past him for release.

I know what you mean, seriously, ive always thought that these sort of "puns" in cartoons are there mainly focused at the Adult population. We take our kids to the Cinemas and hope that they dont get what cheeky side of it is all about. Mind you my lil one doesnt miss anything . So yes you do have to be carefull what they do notice.

Rocko's Modern Life OWNED! I loved that show, I really wish they would put it on DVD. It was also packed with sexual innuendo. I mean, the resturaunt that they always ate at was called "The Chokey Chicken"!(I believe they edited that later in the show and called it "The Chewey Chicken". ) They slip little things like this into lots of kids shows, that's why it's so much fun going back and watching some of the cartoons you did when you were younger.

Sorry a correction needs to be made, So yes we do have to be carefull what they notice and make sure that we veiw any form of cartoon these days and just make sure we know exactly what there watching. Also the content (jokes story line etc. if i dont like the content, then my kids dont watch it.
Ok I must admit, when the kids are in bed and tucked in with love and care, I LOVE Southpark, Crank Yankers, Tripping The Rift, Boondocks, The Braz Show, etc.
But to all you Mums and dads believe me Its totally worth sitting down and watching "Angry Beavers, Catdog, Spongebob etc, with your kids. Youll see the joy in here eyes, and your ribs will be sore from absolute laughter. Theraputic.... There is a lil kid still, inside us all.

When I taught in daycare, the State would not allow us to show any Disney movies, because of he violence...About a month ago, on the Disney Channel, my grandchildren were watching "Handy Manny"...two minutes later "Handy Manny" turned into a full blown spanish porno...needless to say, it was immediately changed, and the toddlers were too young to ask questions.. innocent.gif

I doubt it happens in any kind of official capacity, I'm sure it's just the work of mischievous animators. I very much doubt that this is harmful.

I forget what it was he REALLY said, but he wasn't telling them to take their clothes off, it just sounded as if he was. I played back the movie over and over just to listen to it. I believe he was saying something to the tiger.

For this it's supposedly someone in the background that says that and yes aladin was saying something to the tiger.

Of course they put them in there on purpose! How could they not? all these movies are cartoons,that means they had to be drawn by cartoonists. And they have to draw the same thing over and over again to get one scene to look right,so there's no way it could be an accident.

It wouldn't surprise me that Disney animators can be bawdy. If you had work for company that has some sort of perkiness clause in their contract, I too would use my brand of toilet humor just to deal with the stress. Friends of mine who worked for Disneyland (and even Disneyworld) has the same policy where their employees have to put on a facade of happiness in the theme park so not to ruin the enjoyment of its patrons. 8 to 10 hours of unending jolliness can make anyone go mental! tongue.gif
