am I the only one who sees these really
differently now that I’m an adult hey
it’s Phoebe from WatchMojo and today
we’re taking a look at facts about
Disney movies that are going to ruin
your childhood now Pussycats tell you
more about myself before we begin we
publish new content every day so be sure
to subscribe to our channel and ring the
bell to get notified about our latest
videos we’re taking a look at story
elements and behind the scenes facts
about animated Disney films that are
pretty questionable when you look at
them now and don’t even get me started
on Pocahontas let’s take a look
Disney movies are primarily made to be
enjoyed by children but they often
clearly have an adult audience in mind
as well while some of these jokes and
references may have gone right over your
head when you were a kid as you’ve
gotten older you’ve probably noticed
some quite suggestive jokes in your
favorite childhood movies they are
usually subtle but once you notice them
you can’t unsee them just look at Buzz’s
wings springing to attention in Toy
Story 2 or the scene in which two girls
flash their Idol and cars and that foot
size joke and frozen meat size size
doesn’t matter
there are also persistent rumors that
pranksters have worked more explicit
sexual messages into Disney animations
in the mid-90s conservative Christian
groups raged against the Lion King over
a scene in which a dust cloud appears to
form the word sex one of the film’s
animators later claimed it’s spelt SFX
for special effects
another popular claim is that the
eponymous hero in Aladdin whispers good
teenagers take off their clothes to
rajah office seems pretty dubious it
turns out that at least some examples of
production trickery really did take
place in 1999 a version of the rescuers
released for home video was quickly
recalled when viewers discovered that
when they freeze-framed one scene they
could see an image of a topless woman in
an open window no one knows who inserted
this picture but its infamy lives on in
Disney history Disney bases many of
their movies on historical stories and
classic fairy tales but they also take
considerable liberties with their source
material omitting disturbing real-life
details or
our core plot points that forever color
the movies when you learn about them
later on sometimes the more you learn
the more you wish you could forget the
Hans Christian Andersen tale The Little
Mermaid for example ends not with a
happily ever after but with the Prince
marrying someone else and the mermaids
sisters telling her to murder him so she
can return to the ocean she’s got it bad
happily she doesn’t unhappily she lets
herself die instead and becomes seafoam
no that’s dark the real life story of
Pocahontas goes a little differently –
according to historians John Smith’s
claimed that Pocahontas saved him from
her father should be taken with a grain
of salt he also told a similar tale
about a girl in Hungary there’s no
evidence that the two had a romantic
relationship which is for the best
since when they met Pocahontas was 10 or
12 I liked she did end up marrying a
John a tobacco planter called John Rolfe
with whom she had a child and traveled
to England but she then died of illness
at around 21 years old sometimes it’s
the back story behind the creation of
the films that takes away from the magic
as is the case with Winnie the Pooh it
turns out that the real-life Christopher
Robin the son of series author a a Milne
was resentful of the fantastical stories
written about him and had a strained
relationship with his father when I was
Billy Moon we played in the woods and
then you wrote that book and it all
stopped as if it had all been a piece of
research even the Lion King an original
tale is disturbing when you think about
of course it’s only original provided
you discount all the similarities to
Kimba the White Lion either way
it’s best not to dwell on the fact that
Simba and Nala are most likely half
siblings since Mufasa seems to be the
only male lion in the pride
alternatively Nala father could be scar
but that would still make them cousins
too much
fortunately Disney made Pocahontas older
for her on-screen romance with John
Smith but the official ages that Disney
provides for their other princesses
still raise a lot of questions Snow
White is supposed to be just 14 when she
sent off into the woods to be murdered
making the whole tale feel much darker
[Music]
[Applause]
our yell is 16 when she ties the knot
and shocks up with Prince Eric and Belle
is just a year older when she’s locked
up and falls in love with her part man
part animal captor it is you at least
since jasmine is 15 her rebellious
attitude makes a lot of sense but it
sure makes the scene in which she
distracts Jafar pretty uncomfortable
Jafar I never realized how that’s better
Disney dads are often important
characters even when their main role is
just to marry off their very young
daughters I just love to make sure
you’re taken care of
Disney moms are the other hand are
frequently nowhere to be found
do you have daddy issues mom yes in fact
you’ve probably noticed that a lot of
Disney protagonists are either
motherless or orphaned forcing them to
forge their own paths in life without
much parental intervention while you may
have assumed that this was just a
convenient or traditional plot device
Walt Disney’s own personal life might
have something to do with it – what’s
mother Peter a mother someone who who
loves and cares for you and that tells
her stories in 1938 Walt Disney had
already become quite successful and
wanted to help his aging parents out by
purchasing a house for them he had some
studio employees work on fixing the
broken furnace but it turned out that
the problem wasn’t correctly resolved
not long after Walt’s mother flora
Disney died from asphyxiation because of
the fumes some have said that Walt
blamed himself for the terrible accident
and went on to write more and more
characters who didn’t have mothers now
on to another biggie racism and racist
stereotypes man behind the mouse Walt
Disney has both defenders and detractors
when it comes to accusations of racism
and anti-semitism on one hand he donated
to Jewish charities and some of his
Jewish employees have come to his
defense on the other he was a founding
member of an anti-communist organization
with a reputation for anti-semitism and
hosted Nazi filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl
during promotion of her movie before the
outbreak of the Second World War what
ever you think about the man himself
it’s clear their racist stereotypes made
their way into some of our most beloved
Disney movies of course some historical
context is important as many of these
stereotypes for widespread stock
characters then again that doesn’t
exactly make us feel good about them
either one of the most glaring examples
is the big bad Wolf’s Jewish peddler
disguise in three little pigs
I’m the Fuller Brush man I’m working my
way to college then there are the Native
American stereotypes in Peter Penn today
the song what makes the red man red is
pretty hard to listen to without
cringing the crows and Dumbo are also
commonly cited as racist caricatures
[Music]
but the most infamous example is
undoubtedly the live-action /
animated musical song of the south which
has essentially been disavowed by many
Disney fans who understand something
biting dudes will use did it it doesn’t
go honestly we do love our Disney movies
but sometimes ignorance really is bliss
ignorance is bliss you’re welcome do you
