Does Disney hide subliminal messages in their cartoons?

Yes, there are. Simply put........it's the cartoonists, basically having a good inside laugh on the bosses.

They like to see if they can insert things, that the bosses won't catch.

There are known cases where they *were* caught......and the offending items removed.

There are known cases where the offending items were caught......but too late.

(the Original cover for the Little Mermaid, *clearly* featured a giant Penis as one of the tower shapes. When Disney finally saw it.......they recalled the videoes, and re-issued it, with a corrected cover. )

and then there those.....that were never caught......but caught by sharp eyed viewers.....with freeze frame, and frame by frame playback.

Like the scene in The Rescuers, Down Under. the two mice are riding on the back of a seagull, who swoops past an apartment building. In the very LAST window, as he whizzes by a row of Windows, is a woman standing stark naked. Blink and you miss it, and even then, you need freeze frame to see it.......but it's *definitely* there.

it's the cartoonists, trying to insert a "signature" into the film. Their little inside prank.

This isnt all that cut and dry in all honesty, yes they do but in the same time they don't mean to occasionally, yes there are some messages in Disney movies, such as the ones you mentioned, but some would also consider them a "coincidence" even though some seem like blatant hints at subliminal messages, though Disney obviously has not gone out of their way to say "yes we did this on purpose" for obvious publicity reasons, the heads at Disney probably didn't plan any of these messages in their movies, many say that the messages seen in many of their movies/films were ad ins by other people, like the special effects team, regardless it is undeniable that many Disney movies(even child tv shows from other networks) occasionally have some kind of adult innuendos, weather they be on purpose or just a very unfortunate coincidence.
