Spin off: Which Disney movies have characters drinking booze?

[scrapquitler]

Since we were discussing drinking booze in front of our kids while on vacation (presumably while at Disney, since this is a Disney Board), I thought it might be a giggle to see how many Disney movies have characters drinking booze in them (presumably in front of our kids).

Let's see..

DUMBO: The clown's drink...and Dumbo sees pink elephants on parade.
BELLE: Be our guest, with several popping bottles of champagne. And no one drinks like Gaston.
PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN: Why is all the rum gone?
FANTASIA: Baccus, anyone?



Any others?

Honestly, I never noticed or thought about it. It's such a non-issue to me that if I saw a bottle of wine on the table during a meal scene or a guy watching tv drinking a beer, or whatever, it wouldn't even be something that registered with me.

In Sleeping Beauty, Aurora's father and Philip's father drink together.

 

[Sgt Mickey]

Gaston when he is singing in the beginning?

 

[TDC Nala]

In Sleeping Beauty, Aurora's father and Philip's father drink together.

And the "minion" steals their drinks and passes out under the table...

The parent trap

Two that come to mind in the Aristocats. Uncle Waldo is drunk when the Aristocats and his geese nieces find him in Paris. Also the guy sitting at an outdoor cafe pours out his booze when he sees Roquefort the mouse chasing after the alley cats.

Not only does Alice in Wonderland drink some very suspicious liquids, but she eats a magic mushroom!

Apparently, we aren't the only ones wondering about this:

Of 24 films he looked at (all G rated), only 3 didn't have either smoking or drinking.

ETA - the site actually links to a published journal article about the "issue" (I suggest scrolling through to the results and looking at the table - the rest is really wordy).

She also takes a bite of something that says "Eat Me" which is rather unusual in a Disney movie.

My parents had a vhs copy of Dumbo when I was a teenager, mainly for my younger siblings. They edited out the pink elephants scene because they thought it glorified drunkenness. Ironically (or not), we were allowed to have a drink at home as teenagers. Their issue wasn't having a drink, it was getting inebriated.

Mark drinks in The Moonspinners. Of course, you've got to give the guy a break. He had just been shot.

They drink in Scarecrow of Romney Marsh.

I seem to remember there being ale in Robin Hood, and rum punch in Mary Poppins

 

[SAHDad]

Incredibles - Mr. Incredible drinks a mimosa

Pretty sure one of the characters has a hip flask in Atlantis

The guy in Fox and the Hound has a whiskey jug, doesn't he?

The evil lady in Rescuers drinks (I think)

Pretty sure they are drinking in the Sword and the Stone

Hunchback
Hercules
Princess and the Frog.

 

[Christopher Robin]

There are lots and lots, aren't there?

Atlantis : the four basic food groups: beans, bacon, whiskey and lard

PoC : Why is the rum always gone? I sadly admit I saw this 3 times before I got it. And then I didn't "get" it, I said "I don't get it" when my DH and DS's were laughing, so they explained it. I'm such a nudge sometimes

In the "Mighty Ducks" Emilio Estevez was drinking.

Assuming the original thread got gassed? (since it was basically a troll...)

Pirates. But why is the rum gone?

We found the answer to this question on our last (several) Disney Cruise(s)... The rum is always gone, because they put it ALL in my rum runner... *hiccup*

I hadn't noticed, but it looks like it has been. (And yes I thought so too...)
Giggle.
