Get the bust outta here

*Sincerest apologies for the lack of posting this week. I'll step my game up from here on out...

In true Disney family movie fashion, another not-so-family "subliminal" message has emerged, this time out of "Enchanted," the half-animated, half-live action fairytale story starring Dr. McDreamy that raked in $50 mill this weekend and was number one at the box office.

Fortunately for the Disney empire, this one has been quickly debunked by taking a second listen to the scene. Without knowing otherwise, it appears that an off-camera extra shouts, "Get the F*%$ outta here!" Buuut...it's really a shout of "Get that BUS outta here!" And no, that's not some damage control concotion; there really is a large bus in the way.

It makes me wonder if some of those popular dirty Disney messages are just our own mind's imagination, but because they were before the days of blog, the public was lacking "heroes" with no lives to do some detective work and find that the genie in Aladdin isn't actually telling kids to take off their clothes. Who knows?

But what I do know is not all of those pause-worthy Disney moments are false. The topless woman in the background of The Rescuers movie is definitely topless. But otherwise, most of the salacious scenes have been overblown. [click to watch an amateur, but comprehensive, video of the movies...didn't know about that Jessica Rabbit one!].
