In this image from The Lion King (1994), observant users have said that as Simba falls to the ground, the leaves and grass that blow into the air form the word SEX (highlighted in smaller box.) Some other fans of the film say that it spells SFX, a reference to the special effects and animation departments that worked on the film. Disney has never been a stranger to controversy about innuendos hidden in their children’s films.

In The Rescuers, the 1977 Disney film about two mice searching for a kidnapped girl, a few frames of actual nudity were secretly added into the background in the form of a topless model on a poster. The movie, which features the voices of Bob Newhart and and Eva Gabor, was not the first, nor last, film to have been produced by the major children’s movie company to contain controversial background messages.
