Hmm, I think I can point out a few: (please note the sarcasm in what follows)

Snow White- if you're pretty, watch out for prettier people, and don't try and off them, otherwise you end up ugly and falling off a cliff.

Dumbo- you're a freak and you'll always be a freak until they find some use for you, such as perhaps using your ridiculously large ears to fly.

Fantasia- Drugs are the way go to, man. How do you figure that in this movie?

Alice in Wonderland- It's like Fantasia, only you've got a couple characters taking the drugs with you. :lol:

Cinderella- Small feet can bring you happiness. That and a one-in-a-million chance that there really are fairy godmothers. :lol:

Lady and the Tramp- Feed your dog pasta. :lol:

Sleeping Beauty- Sing in the forest and you'll find your true love.

Little Mermaid- Change yourself to get a man you saw for only a couple minutes. :lol:

Aladdin- Good teenagers take off their clothes. :wink: :lol: Just a note: he didn't really say that!

The Lion King- Eating bugs is cool. :lol:

Mulan- Cross-dressing is cool. :lol:

Tarzan- Running around in a loincloth will get you the girl...eventually. :lol:

I think that was the most intelligent and hilarious post on this whole thread. Very good.

Another one for Little Mermaid

Don't listen to your father and you're sure to get your way :D

Lemony Snicket says that the moral of Snow White is never eat apples, and, well...I must agree. :wink:

And, you know, Ariel didn't change herself just to get a man that she saw only for a few moments. Didn't she want to be "part of that world" even before she saw him?

Let's not forget this classic essay saying that Skullfarmer wrote and pimped out right here on this message board...

http://imdb.com/title/tt0118692/board/nest/4335312
In describing his essay in brief, Skullfarmer wrote:"THE ENCHANTED CHRISTMAS
is a hateful homophobic study of an emasculated homosexual pedophile and his
accomplice, who represents a phallic substitute. "
What next...the scene where Pinocchio's nose grows is nothing more than a scene representing sexual lies... :roll:

I think sometimes people take things too far but I'd never say there is definitely NOTHING subliminal in the movies. At the end of the day every single person reads things differently. To many the films are there to be taken as they are, for others they see that there are things that are not so obvious.

My opinion is if you can see it and that's the way you want to read it then it's there, but it doesn't necessarily mean that that's the way it was intended to be seen.

Well, yes. I just thought she made that decision a little fast, giving up friends and family just to be on land, even if she hadn't met the prince yet. But I don't want to get this thread too off-topic, so I'm going to stop.

I can understand the Little Mermaind moral though. If you don't listen to your father, you'll get what you want! :lol:

I have one for Beauty and the Beast: The handsome guys are overrated! Get the smelly and ugly ones instead! :lol:

I always wondered if Beast smells like a wet dog when he was taking his bath and getting rained of. Figures I would wonder such a thing, since I was a dog bather for 6 years :D

Specially on winter, they could be used like a rough or a quick way to avoid the low temperatures.

But way bad choice on spring and summer

You know that part in TLK where Simba (adult) lays down and all this dust and leaves float into the air. When ever I watch this movie I always slow down that part so I can see the word "SEX" and I always point and laugh. HAHA!!! Sex.

It say SFX, as in special effects. Makes more sence in my opinion...
Also, after watching The Little Mermaid two days ago I can prove that the knee sticking out (during the wedding scene), is infact a knee and nothing else! Watch closely when Scuttle flies in and attacks Ursula, you see a pair of 'em, thus proving those are infact knees and nothing kinky. :D

Perhaps the subliminal message there is that if you become a priest you become well endowed beyond your wildest dreams!

Disneykid and Alice on drugs

Post by Disney Duster »

This is my first post ever, and I certianly hope it's not my last. I love UD VERY MUCH, I'm glad I'm finally a member! :D

Disneykid, you asked why everyone says Alice from Alice in Wonderland is the one on drugs when so many other people in Disney movies see odd things and aren't accused of being on drugs. Well, the reason is because Alice often eats or drinks items before she sees the odd things or the odd things happen to her. She ate cakes and drank bottles and bit out of mushrooms to make her taller and shorter, but we didn't see Cinderella eat anything before she saw a pumpkin turn into a coach. Hoever, it doesn't mean Alice is really on drugs, and if it was all drug references, it's not bad because it does NOT encourage kids to use drugs. Alice complained about what she ingested was doing to her, and in the end wanted to leave Wonderland pretty badly, right? I like Alice in Wonderland, and even if it has drug references there's nothing wrong with it if you ask me, so I don't think you need to worry. I hope this post helped you some how.
