This post will tackle the issue of subliminal movies – i,e. The phenomenon of subliminal messages in films – why they are inserted, and we will alsogive some common examples of such movies.

The most famous example, or I should say examples are from Disney – they are infamous for putting subliminal messages in their movies. If you want to see them all then view our disney subliminal messages article, but some famous examples are from:

The Lion King: Where the stars align to form the word “Sex” in the sky when Simba is waiting to see his father in the sky.

Aladdin: There is an audio hidden message saying “teenagers, take off your clothes” in the scene where Aladdin is on the balcony of Jasmin’s window.

The Rescuers: In the background at one point a nude woman can be seen in one of the windows of a house.

Roger Rabbit: Jessica rabbit legs at one point turn into the legs of a real woman’s open (naked) legs.

There are also messages as reported in Pocahontas, Toy Story, and other Disney movies.

It’s debatable why movies would want to use subliminal messages.. Advertisers clearly use them with really great results. For example to increase sales or to make an advert stick in your mind better. But with a movie there is not this sales driven incentive. They may insert them within the advertising so as to make you want and go and see the movie.

Another famous example is in “Fight Club”. The character Tyler Durden inserted subliminal pictures one frame in length into childrens movies in the cinema where he worked. Inserting an pornographic image for a split second. This movie started a craze for looking for subliminal messages. This is not the only subliminal message in fightclub though. There are flashed images of Tyler Durden right the way through the movie. If you look closely there are scenes where Tyler Durden is in the background – making a reference to the fact that his character is not important. This is more an artistic use of subliminal messaging, but messages can be found in many movies – here is a brief list:

Pokemon – saying “Go f*** yourself” while the animals are running through the street.

Licence to Wed – On the movie poster the word Sex is embedded into the sheet covers.

Spongebob – Messages of hidden 666 symbols throughout the movie.

High School musical – Contains various messages when the songs are played in reverse.
