Cartoon Hidden Messages Split2

101 Dalmatians

In Disney’s live-action remake of 101 Dalmatians, Cruella is trying to get pupped from Roger and Anita when Roger mentions they’re having a baby. Cruella replies with, “Well, what can I say? Accidents will happen.”

But then, when Roger tells her they’re also having puppies, she responds with, “Puppies! You have been a busy boy!”

Cars

There’s a whole lot of weird stuff going on in Disney’s Cars. Aside from tramp stamps, there’s one particular scene where two younger, female cars end up “flashing” Lightening McQueen.

Inside Out

Pixar’s Inside Out makes a gay bear joke. When Anger, Fear and Disgust are talking in the command center, Disgust makes the statement, “There are no bears in San Francisco,” to which Fear replies, “I saw a really hairy guy, he looked like a bear.”

Frozen

In Disney’s Frozen, Anna and Kristophe are talking about how Anna fell in love at first sight. Kristophe tests how much she knows about her new-found lover, such as his eye color. Anna responds, “dreamy.” He then asks her about his foot size and she quickly says, “Foot size doesn’t matter!”

Pepe Le Pew

Looney Tunes’ Pepe Le Pew is in search of romance. When he comes across a female black cat whom he mistakes for a skunk, he finds himself so enamored that he “stands at attention,” with his tail and body stretched upward in a stiff position.

The Lion King

Apparently, this one is well known. In the scene where rafiki realizes Simba is still alive, you see Simba laying on a rock as the wind takes particles through the air. Many people believe they see the word, “sex” written in the stars just as the scene changes to Rafiki.

However, the animations team publicly stated that it actually spells, “SFX” as a shout out to the special effects team.

Cars

Again, Disney’s Cars has a scene at a truck stop where the sign advertises “convertible waitresses.”

What don’t convertibles have? Tops. They’re topless waitresses.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit

In Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Jessica Rabbit is a well-known sex symbol. Well, according to various sources, Jessica was depicted unclothed for a few frames of animation, undetectable when played at the usual rate, but visible when advancing through the film frame-by-frame.

Apparently, this little slip-up helped the LaserDisc release sell out in minutes.

The Little Mermaid

Although the Little Mermaid is said to be one of the “cleaner” animated films, there is one scene that left some people up in arms.

During the wedding between Eric and the disguised Ursula, the minister officiating the wedding appears to be sporting a stiffness in his pants.

The Lion King

Back to our favorite Lion family, some people believe there is a hidden image in the original Lion King movie poster.

It appears as though there’s a faded close-up of Simba in the distance, but if you look again, the lion’s face resembles the backside of a woman wearing revealing bottoms.

Bugs Bunny

Bugs Bunny’s character is anatomically incorrect most of the time. But in the 1942, “The Wabbit Who Came to Dinner,” Bugs Bunny is shown stepping out of the shower.

Viewers get a glimpse of what looks like his private parts peeking out from the towel.

The Rescuers

Apparently, in the 1977 uncut version of The Rescuers there are many controversial scenes. One in particular is when they are attempting to fly and, in the background, you see inside a building window where a woman is undressing.

Screenshot from the animated movie The Rescuers (1977)Walt Disney, The Rescuers (1977)

Pinocchio

In Disney’s Pinocchio, there is a scene where Geppetto is praying at the edge of his window and apparently the stars spell “smoke.”

There are also scenes that today’s parents don’t love which include Pinocchio and Lampwick smoking cigars and drinking beer.

Hocus Pocus

In Hocus Pocus the witches say, “we desire children,” and the bus driver responds with, “Hey, it may take me a couple of tries, but I don’t think that’d be a problem.”

Viewers believe this is the bus driver misconstruing the meaning of the witch’s “desire” for children.

Screenshot from the movie Hocus Pocus (1993)Walt Disney, Hocus Pocus (1993)

A Bug’s Life

There’s one scene in A Bug’s Life where two fleas catcall the ladybug Francis (who is a male ladybug) and ask if they want to pollinate with a real bug.

If you know anything about plants, then you'll know pollinating is how they reproduce.

Aladdin and the King of Thieves

In Aladdin and the King of Thieves, Jasmine and Aladdin get married when suddenly, the ground starts to shake from an elephant stampede.

Genie quickly comments, “I thought the Earth wasn’t supposed to move until the honeymoon.”

Aladdin

Also in Aladdin, apparently in the scene where Aladdin was chased out of a house full of women it is because he was poor…and in a brothel.

The Emperor’s New Groove

Apparently, the Emperor’s New Groove is filled with hilarious and cheeky jokes. One being when Yzma’s henchman Kronk has “pitched his tent.”

Ratatouille

In one scene in Ratatouille, Head Chef Skinner finds Linguini messing around in the pantry. He asks what Linguini is doing, and he replies: "familiarizing myself with vegetables".

Chef Skinner then proceeds to remind him that some people can get too familiar with vegetables, as he walks away leaving Linguini by himself in the pantry.

101 Dalmatians

In the original cartoon version of 101 Dalmatians, after all 15 puppies are born Roger gives pongo a pat on the back for “getting’ busy” and says to him, “Oh, Pongo, you old rascal!”

Mulan

At one point, Mushu is telling Mulan about his amazing powers. He says to her: "My powers are beyond your mortal imagination! For instance, my eyes can see straight through your armor," then she covers her chest and smacks him away.

The Little Mermaid

In the DVD cover poster for The Little Mermaid there is an object hidden in the golden castle that closely resembles a male’s anatomy.

The Looney Tunes

In an episode of the Looney Tunes, Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck are sitting in a theater of some sort and Daffy Duck is seen reading a magazine titled, “Playduck,” that has a racy image of a cartoon duck on the front.

Bugs Bunny gives a look of disapproval and judgment.

Harry Potter

Marauders Map is a magical document that shows movements of people inside Hogwarts School. There are footprints on the map that depict the movements of the students. In the bottom left corner, there is a pair of footprints drawn in a way that insinuates two students were getting it on.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Once again, the original version of this film had quite a bit of racy content. Most of it was altered in a later version, mostly because of the uproar it caused.

One particular scene features Baby Herman—who has the body of a baby but is actually a grown man—looking up under a woman’s dress as he is leaving the scene. While directly under the woman, he extends his finger and points in delight, with his tongue hanging out of his mouth.

They altered the scene to just have him looking under the dress—which is still raunchy, but not as bad.

Shrek

Apparently, in Shrek, when Lord Farquaad was in bed looking at Princess Fiona through the magic mirror, he ends up pitching a tent and awkwardly pulls the blanket up.

Lady and the Tramp

This one is subjective, as with most. Some viewers believe that Lady’s “shame” was because she was in doggy jail, while others believe it was because she’d gotten knocked up by a Tramp.

Dexter’s Laboratory

In this popular 90s cartoon, Dexter’s next door neighbor is seen bending over and having “Dad’s Trophy” written across the backside of her pants.

SpongeBob Square Pants

In one episode of SpongeBob Square Pants, SpongeBob is seen sitting in his chair leaning in and watching TV with a “happy” and silly look on his face. Suddenly Gary the snail walks in and SpongeBob quickly changes the channel to a football game.

The Lion King

One very popular scene in The Lion King is widely known for his racy content. During the scene where Simba and Nala are older and reunite, they are rolling around in the long grass and Nala gives Simba a very seductive look, and viewers know exactly what’s about to go down.

Screenshot from the animated movie The Lion King (1994)Walt Disney, The Lion King (1994)

Cow and Chicken

In one scene of Cow and Chicken the pair are shown sitting down to eat—steaming hot pig booty.

Viewers with dirty minds take this one to the next level.

Toy Story

This one is super obvious to some and flies right over the heads of others. In Toy Story there is a toy in Sid’s house (the creepy kid who terrorizes toys) that is made up of a fishing rod and hook attached to bare barbie legs—resembling a hooker.

Screenshot from the animated movie Toy Story (1995)Walt Disney, Toy Story (1995)

Cat in the Hat

Live Action renditions of Disney movies usually always have adult jokes tossed in here and there to make them more appealing for adults.

In the live-action Cat in the Hat film, the Cat is holding onto a garden hoe and he looks at it and says, “You dirty hoe.”

Screenshot from the movie The Cat in the Hat (2003)Universal, The Cat in the Hat (2003)

Hey Arnold

Hey Arnold is another popular cartoon from the 90s where viewers today are putting pieces together that weren’t obvious to them as kids.

Some viewers believe that Helga’s mother had a particular problem that had her often slurring her words, making lots of smoothies, and often falling asleep on the couch.

Screenshot from the animated movie Hey Arnold! (1996-2004).Nickelodeon, Hey Arnold! (1996-2004)

SpongeBob Square Pants

In another episode of SpongeBob, the square sponge tells his buddy starfish buddy, “Patrick, your genius is showing,” and Patrick suddenly put his hands over his crotch and looks down with a shocked look on his face.
