easter eggs and overheards
Boy, the things you can overhear in a locker room.

"The other day I picked up a wasps nest and because I thought it was dead I put it to my ear and shook it. It wasn't dead." If she thought it was dead, what was she listening for? Didn't she thing of that?

Today, three women in the shower were talking about pornographic easter eggs in Disney movies. They mentioned all the classic big ones:

-The Lion King: The "sex" dust cloud. (I think it's the scene where Simba sighs and lays down, could be the one where Rafiki scatters the dust... I could never see it until one day, BAM! There it was.)

-Alladin: Alladin says "teenagers take off your clothes" while being attacked by Rajah on Jasmine's balcony. Yes, he does say it. Turn up the volume. It sounds like "Down kitty, nice kitty... (mumble) take off your clothes." I guess it could be CLAWs... but it's more fun this way.

-The Little Mermaid: erections everywhere. Especially when the priest is trying to marry Ursula and Eric. Check out his pants.

-The Rescuers (the Original, not down under). This one was just re-released on video two years ago. They did a recall shortly after. Turns out some animator was yukking it up way back when and inserted two frames of a naked woman in a city window. This occurs during the first albatross flying scene (where they take off in winter). We kept our copy.

I'm actually glad the animators have a senes of humor. I'm sure teenagers have thought of sex before seeing the Lion King and I'm sure no one's actually been swayed into taking off their clothes. My sisters and I had a hayday once and actually found all these easter eggs in the videos. Does anyone know of any other classic Disney easter eggs?
