10 Giant Movie Myths (And The Truth Behind Them)

6. Phallus-Shaped Castles

The Myth: Can you spot anything a little 'off' with the picture above? If you think some of the towers of King Triton's castle look remarkably like gilded male genitals, then you're not the only one. Many have noted how the golden castle looks rather penis-like in shape, giving rise to the myth that the VHS cover that it originally appeared on was created specifically to spite Disney executives. The Truth: The artist responsible for the blunder has stated numerous times since the VHS release, that any resemblance to the male organ was purely coincidental, going so far as to blame tight deadlines and tiredness as reasons for the sloppy artwork. Whatever the case may be, there's really no denying that some of those towers really do resemble golden willies.
