3) Sex In The Stars – The Lion King
Oh Lion King. Such a glorious, soul shattering, fun-filled movie about dying parents and lions fucking and gay boars singing songs and shit. This is the film that taught me about “the circle of life,” and it’s also another Disney movie where the animators could not help themselves and just had to get all kinky when no one was paying attention.
Though some can say this one is contested, most people think it’s pretty clear. In one scene, pictured above, while our attention is focused on the lion, the shifting stars up in the galaxy above seem to spell out the word “sex.” Sure, it’s a bit debatable. But given that Disney is known for hiding this particular word in most of their films, I’m pretty sure that is what’s going on here.
At one point, you figure one of these animators would be like, “okay, we get it, hiding inappropriate stuff in a kid’s cartoon is funny. Fight Club also pointed this out. By why don’t we hide a drug reference or something?”
Then I remembered Fantasia (which is one big drug sequence), and I laughed.
