DISNEY SUBLIMINAL MESSAGES LION KING SERIES
The creators of The Lion King have been accused of lifting elements from an anime series from the 1960s called Kimba the White Lion.ĩ.
The “asante sana squash banana” song that Rafiki sings The Lion King is actually an old nursery rhyme in Swahili.Ĩ. Abba were originally approached to do the music for The Lion King, but when they weren’t available, Disney went with Elton John.ħ. A hyena biologist sued Disney for defamation of character for portraying hyenas as villains in The Lion King.Ħ. It’s claimed that the dust actually spells “SFX,” and was a nod to the film’s special effects team.ĥ. When it was released, The Lion King experienced controversy when people thought the word “SEX” could be read in a puff of dust during one scene. The words at the beginning of The Lion King are Zulu for “Here comes a lion, father” and “Oh, yes, it’s a lion.”Ĥ. Pixar credits its success to going against Disney’s standard narrative elements: No songs, no “I want” moments, no happy village, no love story, no villain.ģ. 101 Dalmatians, Peter Pan, Lady and the Tramp, and Mulan are the only animated Disney films where both parents are present and don’t die during the course of the movie.Ģ. It's unclear, however, exactly who was to blame for the naughty edit.1. Disney announced the discovery in 1999, and issued a recall. Two very, very brief shots of a topless female model were spliced into scenes in 1977's The Rescuers, but only became apparent when the film was released on home video. That said, not all Disney films have been entirely innocent. The famous erection, meanwhile, is clearly a knobbly knee if you continue watching the scene in full, instead of looking at an isolated clip. Aladdin is apparently saying “Good kitty, take off and go” to Jasmine's protective tiger Rajah - although the original sound is admittedly a little garbled - and the Lion King "SEX" actually reads "SFX", and was supposedly put in by the animators as a tribute to the film's special effects department. Sorry to disappoint, but none of these salacious stories really hold water when looked at in any detail. Disney animators inserted subliminal sexual messages into Aladdin, The Little Mermaid and The Lion KingĮver heard that, in a scene in Disney's Aladdin, the main character can be heard whispering: "Good teenagers, take off your clothes?" Or that the word "SEX" is subtly spelled out in the sky by dust particles in The Lion King? Or that, in the wedding scene between Prince Eric and a disguised Ursula in The Little Mermaid, the priest has a visible erection?
