Disney Subliminal Messages

This is an article about the many disney subliminal messages which have been found in various movies over the years – We will talk about that a little more in a second, but here is a basic definition of subliminal messages:

The word subliminal when translated literally means “below threshold”, i.e. beneath the level of our perception. That is a little misleading; for subliminal messages to work, they do need to be perceived on some level, so although you won’t consciously hear or see them your subconscious mind will decode them without your knowledge. Subliminal messaging therefore describes the act of sending messages directly into your subconscious mind, and your subconscious mind is powerful enough to process 1000s of messages and peices of information without your knowledge.

Are there really hidden Disney subliminal messages?

Yes, simply put – yes there are.

In fact, there are both hidden, and visable messages in Disney films – they are present in most Disney movies.

Every time a new Disney film is released the subliminal message seekers and conspiracy theorists race to be the first to find them.

Which Movies Have Subliminal Messages?

Most of the movies!

Disney’s “subliminal history” goes back many years – it is said their use began with angry employees who got left out of the credits of the early movies – they got their revenge by including subtle references to themselves in future productions.

One of the first known examples of this is from the Goofy series of short “Sports” movies, where the animators and designers simply called characters after each other in subtle ways. The sophistication of subliminal messaging soon got more intelligent; animators would start to hide the word “sex” in the background multiple scenes throughout the movie, some would even go as far as including images of naked bodies flashed on the screen or incorporated into the animation.

Walt Disney wasn’t impressed when this started happening, but he was talked round as apparantly the messages made his movies more memorable – anything to get the films talked about was good for Disney – any publicity is good publicity.

People now half expect Disney to include messages, and it is even now debatable whether it is just the animators, or in fact it begins at a higher level of design and the use of the messages is known about at the top levels of management and actually endorsed.
