Lion King Subliminal Messages Exposed

By guest | May 10, 2009

Welcome to this short article outlining the recently discovered Subliminal messages in the lion king. We will highlight several instances of subliminal persuasion being used in the Lion King.

The best example is from the scene aprox half way through the movie where the stars in the sky start to swirl and form an outline of Simba’s father. During this formation the stars briefly align to form the word “Sex” in the night sky.

The official Walt Disney response was to completely deny the use of subliminal placement within the Lion King. As always (you better believe that this isn’t the first time Disney have used subliminal messages!) Disney claim it was not done on purpose, that it was just coincidental.

You might be inclined to believe that if it wasn’t for the 100s of other subliminal messages in disney movies across their range of animations, and movies.

The picture of the night sky “Sex” message is generally the only message which the mainstream population are even slightly aware of. However, the word sex actually appears on a lot of different occasions thought the movie.

You can see it in the background, spelled out by blades of grass, by trees and leaves in the jungle, by rock formations – it seems to be everywhere, in nearly every scene.

It all starts to feel more realistic that Disney could be using subliminals in their movies due to the sheer number of “coincidences” you can spot… after a while it stops being a coincidence. The question we can not answer though is why they do it? :) It might be just for their amusement, the designers personal game, or perhaps even a ploy to make the movie more memorable.

Sadly many of these messages have been edited out for newer DVD re-releases, so you can only see them on the original VHS editions – get yours out and watch closely and let us know if you find any more :)
