Disney "Counterculture"

Post by herman_the_german »

This is just a comment on the Love Bug movie, but of course it applies to others as well.

Disney's movies tended to sanitize society (to put it mildly), but in setting Love Bug in San Francisco the do manage to show hippies in a scene or two. I never got the "Guenevere" comment as a kid, I just though it was some kind of non-sequitur, but of couse San Francisco is the gay capital of the US, so that's a big D'OH! for me.
The hippies also appear to be stoned, so there's another one for Disney right there.

Can anybody think of other instances of counterculture (or other adult references that kids might not get) being shown in Disney movies? I am prefrably referring to the early films.
