So, I’m sure everyone loves the wonderful Walt Disney movies. We all watched them in our youth and might still watch them at times because they remind us of our childhood! In high school I took a psychology class and we learned about subliminal messaging. Subliminal messages are hidden words or images in advertisements, movies, or music. It has been noticed that there are subliminal messages in some Disney movies such as The Lion King, Aladdin, and The Little Mermaid. Have you all seen heard of these messages being present in the Disney movies?
Here is an example of a subliminal message in Aladdin.
You must listen very closely, but Aladdin says, “Take off your clothes.” Why would Disney put this into one of his movies that are meant for children? What do you think?
Another movie is The Lion King. While Simba lays down in the grass, dust flies up into the sky to spell the word sex.. watch closely in this video.
Finally, a third movie that has subliminal messages in it is The Little Mermaid. At the end of the movie, when Prince Eric and Ursula are getting married the priest is having a little problem with his pants… here’s another video.
After watching these three examples of subliminal messaging in Disney movies, does it change your perspective on them? Do you think these are real or fake, there is much controversy between the subject so what is your opinion on it?
