3. Aladdin: Go Forth And Multiply!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64BAeTdmyQo This one has gained a bit of notoriety in recent years. The dawn of a little old thing we like to call the Information Super Highway has made sure that even the tiniest details will be endlessly debated upon until the inevitable asteroid hits us and wipes us all out. And even if some survived the disaster, the first thing they'd probably do is go on YouTube and argue with strangers. But I digress. Disney have got in hot water a few times with adult references. You probably know about The Lion King when Simba collapses on the rock and the dust flies off towards Rafiki, not before spelling a word that looks like Sex. It actually says SFX, as in the company who do special effects, but someone who drew that must have known what it would look like. And a less visual adult reference lies in everyone's favorite story about a street rat and a Princess. When Jasmine comes out on to her balcony to find Prince Ali wrestling with Rajah the tiger, as the camera stays on her face, we hear him say "Good teenagers, take off your clothes". Now this is of course open to interpretation, and Disney insist the line is "Good kitty, take off and go", but upon listening I'm not so sure. I mean, it sure does sound like Disney are subliminally telling teens to undress. Of course this would rub some adults up the wrong way, but then they are failing to realise that's what teenagers are doing anyway. With or without Disney's help.
