Disney Subliminal Messages

Remember the old days when you would sit home with your family and watch all kinds of Disney movies? Those were probably the most memorable times we’ve all experienced. However, what if I told you that these Disney movies had hidden messages and signs throughout them all? Some of you may have noticed them at a later age but most of you still have no clue on what these movies really show.

A subliminal message is a message that you see but do not realize that it’s been shown. Although your subconscious mind will capture these messages and will make you think or act upon what was sent; thinking you had thought of those “thoughts” yourself. These messages were all hidden throughout our favorite Disney movies. Here are some examples:

The Lion King (1994)
Don’t you feel old now knowing The Lion King was released 20 years ago? Because I do! Anyway, here is a shocking message hidden in this movie. Remember the scene where Simba lays on the edge of a cliff late at night right before meeting Rafiki? Well, right when he lies down, lots of dust rises to the air. Back when we were young, it looked like a normal situation but take a closer look now. This dust cloud is actually spelling the word “sex”. Now why would Disney even put that in a children’s movie? Well according to the makers of the film, this was just an input of the special effects team making their mark. To them, it is suppose to spell “SFX” and not “SEX”. (1)  What do you think?






The Rescuers (1977)
Here is another example of hidden messages in a Disney movie. Although it is unlikely any of us had watched this film, it still contained an inappropriate message within it. Now in the middle of the film (about 38 minutes in), we see two mice riding a tin can within the city. What was shocking was what was shown in the background. A picture of a topless woman in a window was shown in the back rapidly. (1) Who would think of putting that in such a movie? I found it incredibly inappropriate by Disney. See for yourself…





Disney had been accused for several different hidden messages throughout many of their films. Some include popular titles such as The Little Mermaid, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Beauty and the Beast, Pocahontas, Aladdin and much more. Some have even been found in their recent television series such as Gravity Falls. Personally, I found this really disappointing and entirely inappropriate for a children film production company to release such terrible messages deep within their films. Because of this, I’m constantly on the lookout for any out of the ordinary frame shots in all Disney movies. Who knows what else they’ve been hiding from their viewers. What do you guys think about all of this? Try re-watching these movies after reading this post, you'll have a different point of view towards what you've once loved.

  1. THANK YOU FOR RUINING MY CHILDHOOD! Jokes, of course. Unfortunately, as I get older and go back to my childhood favourites, it becomes more and more apparent that there are sexual innuendos and subliminal messages. Kind of heart wrenching I have to say. Never the less, very interesting topic!

  2. It's my theory that animators are just sick, twisted lonely people who make bets that they can fit these things into movies without anyone noticing until after the movie's release. It's worth noting that Walt Disney himself made a bet with animators that he would pay them $5(it was alot more money back than) for every gag they could slip into the final cut of Snow White.

  3. As I was growing up, I had a routine. I would get home from school, eat, do my homework then watch disney shows for the rest of the day. It's crazy knowing that there were some hidden messages in those tv shows and it's making me wonder if that's their way of brain washing kids without making it obvious to the parents. I know that I'm going to be monitoring whatever my children watch. Thank you very much for this post Moussa!

  4. Wow, strange to think there are so many bad things hidden in children's movies! Funny how these movies are intended for innocent minds yet have such crudeness within them. This definitely has ruined some of my favourite childhood movies. I wonder what their motives were for sneaking in these inappropriate subliminal messages? Interesting post Moussa!
