10 Disney Movie Details Only Grown-Ups Would Notice
10. The Bishop’s Little Bishop In The Little Mermaid
Everybody loves a good wedding but one character in The Little Mermaid seems a little more excited than most to be at the sham marriage of Prince Eric and sea witch Ursula. Look closely and you’ll see that the bishop overseeing their nuptials seems to be sporting a rather noticeable and animated boner.
Disney, of course, dismissed the priest’s pocket rocket and claimed it was actually his knee and not his penis moving around under his clothes. Although they did see fit to remove the offending ‘knee’ from a 2006 DVD release of the film. Okay guys, it’s a ‘knee’. We believe you.
Speaking of The Little Mermaid on home video, it was rumoured that a bonus boner appeared on the cover of an early VHS release of the film cunningly disguised as a castle spire. It caused enough of a furore that the artist responsible issued a statement saying the phallic-like qualities of the spire were completely inadvertent and a product of working into the wee hours while rushing to get the artwork done.
But we know the truth – The Little Mermaid is basically one giant penis fest.
