Oh How Sexual The Little Mermaid is!

The Little Mermaid is a classic Disney tale about a young Mermaid names Ariel. Ariel defies her father King Triton and goes to the top of the water to see humans; she discovers Prince Eric who becomes her love interest and eventually they live happily ever after.
Beautiful right?
Well what some people don't know is that there are some very vividly sexual things in The Little Mermaid. The original Little Mermaid, yes the VHS for those of you who were born after 1997, has been some very a penis on the box. The penis on The Little Mermaid box is apart of King Triton's castle, and is very noticeable.

So again Disney is "slips" up. This absolutely on purpose, because there is no way for a company that is so precise in everything that they do to keep having accidental sexual messages in their works. Disney World workers attend a 9am-5pm course for several days before starting work and there is a book of what everyone should look like in order to male the guest feel comfortable. It is so bold for the Disney animators to put a penis on the COVER of the movie, and it's in a way disrespectful, because when people think of movies to take their children to see they think Disney, because of the great stories and the quality of the movies and shows.

Saying that this type of "carelessness" is going to be Disney's downfall is impossible because has been going strong for a really longtime, and they show no sign of slowing down.

Because Disney is not being punished for such crude behavior; they can continue to put sexual messages in their movies for what ever reason they do.
What does this say about the parents? (that's a whole other subject) My point is Disney is still being supported even after its' continuous "lack of observation."
Unfortunately the penis on the cover is not the only sexual innuendo in The Little Mermaid. In the scene when Ariel (secretly Ursala) and Prince Eric are about to get married the priest has a boner. Apparently some say that this is the Priests knee, but it is so obvious that the priest has a boner on this scene.It is also really disgusting and perverted to put this in a children's film. Even of it is a knee; the fact that it can so easily be mistaken for an erection is so distasteful on Disney's part.

This source is about how Disney purposefully put a naked image of a woman in the film The Rescuers, and the source a lot of ethos because of all of its supported facts.
