Little Mermaid Subliminal Messages Exposed
By Article Expert on Apr. 22, 2009.
This is a quick article covering the little mermaid subliminal messages – the assorted hidden pictures and videos you can see in the movie.
These messages have been shown all over the place - forums, blogs, even popular news sites - it is not really a secret at all. Often they have a sexual implication, such as hiding the word “sex” somewhere in the background of the animation, making sexual suggestions or perhaps brief sexual gestures, or as in the classic image of the little mermaid movie poster / dvd cover where one of the towers of the castle in the background is in the shape of a penis.
The other famous subliminal message in the little mermaid is at the end in the wedding scene – when the priest introduces them he has a suspicious bulge in his pants 
You can see these two examples in our little mermaid subliminal messages videos.
This subliminal suggestion using the priests crotch was present in the 1989 release of the movie, but since Walt Disney has confirmed that as part of the work that was done done on this to get it ready for the remade DVD release the priest’s private parts were sadly edited out.
There could be various reasons why disney would want to use subliminal messaging. Usually Disney ignores the accusations, or simply says the “message” is just a coincidence.
Occasionally disney does get trapped into making a statement if the suggestions are especially strong, however they still keep their cards close to their chests and cover themsleves, saying something to the effect of “this was included by designer without the consent of the disney network.”.
They also tend to remove most of the messages from future releases as they are found, but still skeptics say that Disney is fully aware of the hidden messages, and offer various different reasons for why they are included:
-
They include sexual messages to help their films appeal to adults - so that the cartoons are not just of interest to children.
-
Making a link in any way possible to sex make the movie a little more memorable and even more popular, this is the case even for really slight subliminal suggestions like this.
-
It has become a regular part of the design process, it’s even EXPECTED to satisfy a trnd of subliminal message hunting which goes on every time a new movie comes out.
-
They bring extra publicity and any publicity is good PR and increases the profile of the movie.
However they came to be there, there is no denying the existence of some of these hidden suggestions!
