Disney Forced To Recall Beloved Animated Classic Movie
There have been plenty of stories about Disney Animation movies with hidden adult content. Some of these stories were a little bit dubious. This includes a scene from The Lion King where the letters “SPX” were hidden in the clouds, which many fans thought said something dirtier. However, one instance was true, and Disney had to recall the movie.
Here is what you need to know.
Disney Animation Classic Recalled Due To Adult Content
One of the most beloved Disney animated classics of the 1970s was The Rescuers. This movie tells the story of an international mouse organization in the United Nations (Rescue Aid Society) that sets out on rescue missions. The entire movie is a fun adventure tale that has stood the test of time.
It even had a sequel with The Rescuers Down Under, which was also popular. However, the first movie had to be recalled because one of the animators snuck in a topless woman in a window when Bernard and Miss Bianca drove by it. The window was in the background, and fans had to pause the video to see it.
The only problem is that it was released on VHS when Disney figured out what happened. They went in and redid that scene to remove the offensive image. The company then asked anyone who bought the movie to return it to DIsney’s video distribution wing at Buena Vista Home Entertainment in Carson, California (via The U.S. Sun).
Disney said they needed “to keep our promise to families that we can trust and rely on the Disney brand to provide the finest in family entertainment.”
Other Disney Animation Controversies
This wasn’t the first time something like this was snuck into a Disney Animation release. However, it was the only time that the company asked people who bought it to return it so they could replace it with a version that was “fixed.”
As mentioned earlier, there is a scene in The Lion King where Simba lies on the edge of a cliff, and a cloud of dust is in the sky behind him. Many parents thought the dust spelled out the word “S*X.” However, it actually spells out “SFX,” which is the abbreviation for “Special Effects.”
The Little Mermaid also had a questionable scene. This scene shows a shot of the castle under the sea. This image was also added to the poster and promotional materials. When they looked hard enough, some parents saw that one of the castle’s designs looked a little too phallic.
