I had to look really hard at these pics to even see this stuff.My imagine just isn't wild enough i guess:)

Yeh, most of those aren't really "naughties".

- It was definitely his knee.
- It did say SFX
- It isn't a penis, just the animators were rushing as they had little time left.

BUT

- Jessica Rabbit did flash. Disney apparently were furious at the animators, who thought it was a joke.
- The Rescuers was true. Loads of videos were recalled due to it. The origin remains unknown.


Other ones people may have noticed such as Alladin saying "Take off your clothes" was him saying "Take off and go".

But what was that about rafiki saying "shoved bananas up his arse?"

one knee?

ok, they admit it spelling sfx? why would it spell sfx?
sex sells...


and i read somewhere it is a penis, tat was drawn by a dusgruntled employee..

One knee from one angle

And the SFX thing was meant to be a signature of sorts from the special effects team.

and as for the penis, that too is a rumor. It was a guy who didn't work for disney and so had no reason to be disgruntled with them, and it was being rushed at 4:00am.

Here's the link AGAIN with all the explainations. You probably won't read it this time either.

Oh come on. Do you actually believe that the animators were trying to sell the film by "subliminally" inserting the word "sex"? And furthermore, do you actually think any kid is going to notice this- whether it's SFX (which it is) or sex?

To be honest,i didn't even know what the deal was with that Lion King pic.If a person is going to sit and look that close for this stuff,they have way to much time on their hands.

Exactly- its rediculous. And to want to "do something about it" is laughable.

Even if someone wanted to try to do something about it...that movie is so old.Get over it already!!!:rolleyes:

It definitely looks more like an E than F. Why they'd bother putting SEX or SFX is another subject completely. The animators are the ones with too much time on their hands.

"Let's put a subliminal SFX message in there."

"Yeah, great idea!"

Pssht. Fuckin' dweebs.

Meanwhile. Back at the Priest's engorged member (that's what she said)...

I read the Snopes article and I definitely agree with NE that you definitely DO see what you want to see... But there's a point where I sit back and I think about the work that goes into animation (especially old timey animation) and how incredibly meticulous and purposeful each panel is. If you truly think about it, when the artist was designing the Priest, he could have positioned him in any way, shape, or form that he wanted to. The fact of the matter is, when the priest turns in the movie, it appears as though a certain part of him grows. The animator could have chosen not to display one knee or not to have the Priest standing in profile... But this was a purposeful choice.

The same puzzling argument is made for the leaves on the wind in the Lion King. The animator could have rearranged those leaves in any completely random way, shape or form that they could... Why would they purposely arrange them (not only arrange them, but animate them to move into a specific position) if not with an ulterior motive?

It's this train of thought that makes me lean more towards the animator's mischief rather than misguided fanboys and cult rumormill enthusiasts.

Well, not really, when you think about an animation FACTORY, such as Disney, where thousands of animators work on a project, it seems a bit far fetched. You've got character designers, character animators, facial animators, key animators, in-betweeners, backgrounders, colorists- each working on their own tight deadlines, and hoping like hell they're doing a good enough job the new intern from Loyola-Marymount won't take their job...

You got one guy drawing the mouths, one guy drawing the arms, one guy drawing the bottom half of one character, another guy drawing the top half, another crew doing the inking on a cell over the pencil drawings, another crew filling in the actions between the key animators frames- every artist concentrating on getting their particular step done on schedule- it seems pretty silly that any one artist is going to put the rest of the project in jeopardy by replacing a knee with a penis.

Couple that with some people's need to see everything that's longer than it is wide as a penis- especially if it's in a Disney cartoon that you've slowed down and stared at obsessively for hours- it just all seems like much ado about nothing to me.

If by the leaves you mean the dust, as I stated, they were meant to be spelling SFX, as in Special Effects and it was just something the animators wanted, almost like a cartoonist writing their name in the bottom corner of a comic strip.

why would you mention special effects - in a cartoon ?

Maybe the animator's last name was Slfergunschplagun and it wouldn't fit. I don't know why those chose that, but I don't see what the point in putting the word Sex in a cartoon is. What benefit could it possibly have?

Exactly.

Dont believe everything you see, my young English whipper-snapper. People use much more imagination than they have, to make a mountain out of a molehill.

Sadly, this happens a lot. "An idle mind is a Devil's workshop", or so they say.

And a happy mind is Santa's workshop.


And who was looking at the shapes the dust formed for a split second anyway? They must have been playing it frame by frame. Same with The Rescuers.
