I was watching Disney's version of Hercules with my family the other day. This was the first time in YEARS that I had seen it. I was completely surprised to find out how much adult content is in this movie! They're talking about Shakespeare and pectorals and stuff that wouldn't have even made any sense to me when I was a child. I love watching them now cos I totally understand what they're saying. But, way back in the day... Why did I even like those movies? They didn't make any sense to me!!!
And Hercules isn't the only one. Go watch Aladdin or Toy Story... Man! They make so much more sense now!!! I just thought this was really interesting after hearing that presentation today about sexual innuendos in family film's... To think Disney isn't even immune from those types of things... What is this world coming to if Disney isn't safe anymore?!?
I'll have to watch it again but I'm pretty sure anything Shakespearean will still go over my head ha! But it is sad to think that no media is immune to sexual content.
ReplyDeleteIt's so true how much adult content is in disney films! I find it all the time lately and it surprises me!
ReplyDeleteI also love watching the Disney classics as an adult. I definitely pick up a lot of things that I missed which can be a good thing or a bad thing. Some things are funnier, and some things are not as innocent as I thought.
ReplyDeleteWow, interesting! I need to check out some Disney movies over the Christmas break. Just last night my roommate was telling me that one of the songs in Hunchback of Notre Dame was about wanting Esmeralde sexually. That was a wake up call to me.
