This is a quick article covering the little mermaid subliminal messages – the assorted hidden pictures and videos you can see in the movie.

These messages have been shown all over the place – forums, blogs, even popular news sites – it is not really a secret at all. Often these have a blatent sexual implication, for example hiding the word “sex” in the background of the animation, or maknig brief sexual gestures, or as you can see in the dvd cover – one of the towers is in the shape of a penis.

The other famous subliminal message in the little mermaid is at the end in the wedding scene – when the priest introduces them he has a suspicious bulge in his pants You can see these two examples in our little mermaid subliminal messages videos.

This subliminal suggestion using the priests crotch was present in the 1989 release of the movie, but since Walt Disney has confirmed that as part of the work that was done done on this to get it ready for the remade DVD release the priest’s private parts were sadly edited out.

There are several possible explanations as to why Disney includes these messages. Of course they officially deny that it was done on purpose – often their only response is just not to respond at all.

There have occasionally commented (although still not giving all that much away), usually saying something along the lines of: “the messages were included by lower level designers nad did not represent the views or interests of the wider company”.

They also tend to remove most of the messages from future releases as they are found, but still skeptics say that Disney is fully aware of the hidden messages, and offer various different reasons for why they are included:

• They include sexual messages to help their films appeal to adults – so that the cartoons are not just of interest to children.

• Making a link in any way possible to sex make the movie a little more memorable and even more popular, this is the case even for really slight subliminal suggestions like this.

• It has become a regular part of the design process, it’s even EXPECTED to satisfy a trnd of subliminal message hunting which goes on every time a new movie comes out.

• They bring an extra level of publicity and create more interest in the movie.

However they came to be included, there is no denying the existence of these hidden messages!
