PLease say it isn't so

[Merandab4]

Was Disney bought out by another company? I heard some Rumors.

 

[AllyBri]

Tell hubby, that April Fools is not for another week.

 

[grinningghost]

Actually, I read that it did. I'm forgetting right now what book it was, but I did read a book not too long ago that talked about it.

 

[Plus4206]

I thought I read some blurb years ago about one of Disney's acquisitions including the movie company or cable channel "Eros" ???? or something along those lines. Disney quickly divested itself of whatever it was.

Couple years ago the preshow teaser for a 60 Minutes/ 20/20 type news show was ranting about GM being in the porn business. Sounded very dramatic, but all it was about was one of their spinoff companies -maybe Direct TV- offering a porn station with certain subscription packages.

 

[WDWHound]

I cant remember the specifics, but I believe Plus4206 pretty much has it right. If I recall correctly, Disney aquired the company unintentionally as part of another trasaction and move very quickly to get rid of it.

 

[jazstar87]

the company already show this kind of stuff just watch aladdin, or the little mermaid.

 

[Cruella DeVille]

I remember something of this nature coming up before in the past and the safety blanket Disney had was uncovered. I'm not going to believe it but it's more than likely true...

HUH???? Just because someone says it doesn't make it true, where are the FACTS, that's right fact's will make me believe something as being true or false, otherwise it's just slander.

 

[Luv2Roam]

The information is covered in the book, "Disney the Mouse Betrayed."

HUH???? Just because someone says it doesn't make it true, where are the FACTS, that's right fact's will make me believe something as being true or false, otherwise it's just slander.

Let's look at three of my personel favorite movies...

In the Little Mermaid [the original] the statue that Ariel would admire Eric on was shaped like the male... manhood.

In Snow White [the original] the dwarves noses and eyes were seen at the foot of Snow Whites bed, indicating that they were watching her as she slept, not a good sign. Can you say peeping tom?

The Lion King [the original] as Simba and Nala are playing in the leaves, when the leaves settle it spells out the word "SEX".

now the original simply means before the newer versions were made, either DVD or VHS...

Three prime examples, need I go on?

 

[tifandjim]

The information is covered in the book, "Disney the Mouse Betrayed."

Yes!! My friend who lives in Orlando (and is not a big fan of Disney) suggested that I read this book. There are quite a few interesting (for lack of a better work, maybe disturbing) pieces of information in there!

 

[grinningghost]

Yes - that's the book I read.

 

[robyn323]

Wow now I have to read that book. Never knew that stuff.

 

[Moobooks]

Enough with the fantasizing of conservative right-wing Christians.
This entire thread is a load of horsepoop.
Anyone who is determined to find images of male members and words they consider "dirty" in imagery like clouds is going to find something to complain about. It's a lot of crap. Disney has never made porn movies, never will make porn movies.
End of story.
Find something interesting to discuss.

 

[marypops!]

they have hidden things in movies
one i find disturbing (which was put in during post production) was the rescuers during the flying scene there ;are two scenes where there is a topless woman (no bra either)

So then let's look at the facts that are stated rather than the myths:

Disney produced an animated film called The Story of Menstruation.

Photographic images of a topless woman can be spotted in The Rescuers. Sound familar?
http://www.snopes.com/disney/info/rescue1.htm

Lemmings were induced into jumping off a cliff for this Disney nature film.

One of the castle spires on the cover of Disney's The Little Mermaid home video was deliberately drawn as a phallus by a disgruntled artist.
http://i.xanga.com/CrapMagazine/mermaid ***** cover.jpg

The letters S-E-X are formed by a swirling cloud of dust in The Lion King.
http://www.snopes.com/disney/films/lionking.htm

In the film Aladdin, the hero whispers, "Good teenagers, take off your clothes." - This can be heard, when Aladdin is attacked by Rajah, watch the film again.

In a talking Lion King book, Rafiki chants, "Squashed bananas up your ****." - It is said that the tracks ran together and formed this, why would it just "accidently" form such a disgusting phrase?

Again just a few, true, rumors...

I must be the most unobservant person on the planet! I've been a Disney fan for many, many years and never noticed any of this stuff..

As a conservative right-wing Christian I'm curious how you became an expert on horsepoop ?

***"Anyone who is determined to find images of male members and words they consider "dirty" in imagery like clouds is going to find something to complain about."***

Did you look at the "Rescuers" cell ? Is that something us Christians fantasized about ? Pretty hard to misinterprete..... wouldn't you agree ?

*** " It's a lot of crap. Disney has never made porn movies, never will make porn movies."***

I agree. I'm certain Disney never MADE porn, but I know there was a brief connection years ago. Maybe if DancingBear gets a chance he can use his great research skills and bring us the facts.

Just as a side note: In HM, one of the singing busts in the library always remind DW and I of Richard Cranium.

So tired of hear about the "mouse" gone wrong! Please don't!
