20 Hidden Movie Frames You Probably Missed In Famous Movies
10. The Number 45 - The Lion King
Much has been written over the years about that supposedly seedy message hidden within The Lion King - spelling out either "sex" or "SFX" depending on who you believe - but there's an altogether subtler secret hidden elsewhere within the movie.
Near the start of the film when Mufasa (James Earl Jones) is explaining to Simba (Matthew Broderick) that he will one day become king, the number "45" can be seen faintly written next to Simba's tail.
This is presumably a marker left in the frame by the animators, intended to note either the frame or layer number, and yet which someone forgot to remove during production. Oops.
