disney subliminal messages, true or false?

Question

are there really subliminal sexual messages in disney's animated movies? give your opinion

Answer 1

NO ( id really like a piece of the little mermaids tail ) WAY!

Answer 2

The main animator for The Little Mermaid was about half way done with the film, when he learned he was going to be fired after the movie was released. So to get revenge on Disney, he decided it would be funny and bad publicity if he drew in inappropriate images. You know those "Special Edition" Little Mermaids and Loin Kings and Alladins? Well Disney found out about these subliminal messages and fixed it as soon as possible, so those DVDs don't have any subliminal messages at all. And by the way, a lot of the subliminal messages in Lion King is just like grass coincidentally "spelling" sex or whatever and really they COULD say anything in the grass, I mean, think about it. To be honest, people are just overly observant toward Disney. (Like, come on, people! Look at all that "innocent" stuff Universal puts out-- movies, park rides... Have you ever seen a Disney movie rated over PG13?)

Answer 3

i do not believe that disney put subliminal sexual messages in their animated movies. people see a swirl of dust and think it looks like the word SEX. u have to tell yourself the subliminal messaging is there or else you can't see it. if you want to find out for yourself go to this website. they answer some questions about disney urban legends and quite a few have to do with subliminal messaging. http://www.snopes.com/disney/films/films.asp#donald

Answer 4

If you stop the Lion King when he drops down at the edge of the cliff, and all the leaves blow away, you can see the word "Sex" formed with the leaves. And yes, there is a phallic symbol on the box of one of the videos, but it's the original box of The Little Mermaid. One of the towers on the underwater castle is shaped exactly like one. I know it for a fact--I've got one of the few original boxes that didn't get pulled off the market once Disney realized it was there!

Answer 5

I think not but until you slow down the film to one shot at a time no one really knows. It was a big thing about 30 years ago to do this but I believe scrutiny by film police have outlawed this practice and besides who said it ever worked. Back in university a professor Keys tried to make us look at Ritz crackers to see hidden words, Howard Johnson menus also had revealing suggestive pictures on their pancakes and waffles but hey you can make a mountain out of any mole hill depending on how you look at it. So no subliminals in my mind, answer is false.

Answer 6

Not in the sense of advertising or messages intended to get people to buy things. But there are lots of other things, political messages, so subtle that we hardly notice them.

For example, don't you consider manipulating the feeling of children and causing them emotional trauma to be wrong...?

Then why is it right for Disney to break kids' hearts and make them feel sorry for Bambi's mother?

Couldn't he have said that hunting was morally wrong in another way? Why did Disney have to make money saying that hunting is cruel?

If it was true, wouldn't it be obvious, instead of having to disguise it with beautiful art...?

Now, how about the openly homosexual characters in Lion King?

Would it not have been more honest to show their homosexual actions and then have the other characters say "We accept your behavior and want to promote it"...?

Because I have put these ideas into WORDS, you are able to consider the concepts and DECIDE whether you agree or not.

Walt Disney did not put his ideas into words but hid them behind art to make them seem more acceptable.

Which is the more honest approach? Which one would you rather have your kids exposed to-- open and honest discussion of ideas you don't agree with, or subliminal exposure without your permission and without them being aware of the exposure...?

That's what we have to watch out for.

Answer 7

Most fairytales originally contained messages concerning sex and such, and of course nowadays we get the toned down versions, but nonetheless I think without really meaning to the disney movies do contain subliminal sexual messages in their stories.

Answer 8

They don't have sexual subliminal messages but Disney does have alot and alot of subliminal political messages....its in there if you can figure it out...

Answer 9

I don't know about sexually subliminal messages,but I do think Disney has a real Electra complex.

Answer 10

NO - there are subliminal messages to brainwash kids though

Answer 11

Wasn't there something in the Da Vinci Code about some sexual symbology in the Lion King movie? Something about swirling dust forming the word "sex"...
