In 2002, The Lion King was re-released in the cinema for a limited time only. The artists has since stated that he wasn’t about to lose his job and the cover was due to a time frame he had to abide by – the coincidence of the resemblance was just unlucky…apparently. It was reported that an angry artist tried to sneak in the phallic as a way of revenge after he heard news of his upcoming redundancy. On copies of The Little Mermaid it seems that one of the castle’s spires resembles who looks like a phallus – hence The Phallic Palace. Either way, they are either Disney trying to stick it to the man, or viewers’ imaginations… But, there’s a reason these animated movies have a “U” (universal) rating. Here’s the thing: The Disney subliminal messages are just the animator’s way of having a little bit of fun (trying to sneak something hidden that’s highly inappropriate into a children’s film). Personally, I find the adult-based hidden messages funny. When it comes to subliminal messages in Disney movies, there’s always going to be controversial views.
