My kid wanted to see a movie and I did not have any lined up, so I rented “The Great Mouse Detective” from On Demand. It’s a Disney film, a nice little Sherlock Holmes thing with mice, G rated. We were watching it when this one scene came on that caused me to do a rather large double-take. The characters go into a seedy bar, disguised as low-life sailors. The bar has live entertainment. The patrons jeer and throw tomatoes (and knives!) at the acts, until this demure female mouse singer comes on and calms them down … then WTF? Does a … rather suggestive … burlesque act. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/e2IctxaCPqw/hqdefault.jpg "Let Me Be Good To You") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2IctxaCPqw) “It’s that awkward moment when you are watching a Disney movie with your kid, and the mouse starts stripping …” How they got this past whoever hands out the ratings I have no idea … Of course the kid didn’t notice, but my wife and I were definitely chuckling about it. Anyone else got some examples of this? ---

“Dancing girls” of all stripes have a long history in kids programming. Kids just see dancing, they don’t see the borderline striptease. ---

At least, mine didn’t. ---

Have you noticed that Donald Duck never wears pants? Or that Daisy Duck never wears anything under her very short skirt? I think your outrage would be better aimed at that. ---

One of my favorites of this was an insanely filthy joke in the animated film [Flushed Away](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0424095/reference): \*It’s just that curry you had last night, Spike. I’m the same, I’ve got a bum like the Japanese flag. \* Although, upon checking, it’s PG. ---

I’ve always been amazed by the scene in **The Black Cauldron** in which the musician, who has been changed into a frog, gets caught in the fgat witch’s monstrous cleavage. The scene goes on for a surprisingly long time: [https://video.search.yahoo.com/video/play;\_ylt=A2KLqIFMEOlTglgAP6\_7w8QF;\_ylu=X3oDMTBzdmtvYW9lBHNlYwNzcgRzbGsDdmlkBHZ0aWQDBGdwb3MDMjA-?p=Youtube+Black+Cauldron+frog+breasts&vid=d2a1570094a4b1c9c31e74eb358d45ea&l=00%3A18&turl=http%3A%2F%2Fts4.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DVN.608002915067823851%26pid%3D15.1&rurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DIQqT71czTXs&tit=What%26%2339%3Bs+wrong+with+The+\Black+Cauldron\<%2Fb\>&c=19&sigr=11amc093b&sigt=11fap4e60&age=0&&tt=b](https://video.search.yahoo.com/video/play;_ylt=A2KLqIFMEOlTglgAP6_7w8QF;_ylu=X3oDMTBzdmtvYW9lBHNlYwNzcgRzbGsDdmlkBHZ0aWQDBGdwb3MDMjA-?p=Youtube+Black+Cauldron+frog+breasts&vid=d2a1570094a4b1c9c31e74eb358d45ea&l=00%3A18&turl=http%3A%2F%2Fts4.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DVN.608002915067823851%26pid%3D15.1&rurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DIQqT71czTXs&tit=What%26%2339%3Bs+wrong+with+The+%3Cb%3EBlack+Cauldron%3C%2Fb%3E&c=19&sigr=11amc093b&sigt=11fap4e60&age=0&&tt=b) As for the stuff that goes over kids’ heads, they did that at the King Richard’s Faire RenFaire in Massachusetts for ages.

It’s older than I am though. Check out this horrific little moment from Snow White: [Thirsty? Have a drink! - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xohIr4wB56E) You just really don’t notice these things until you’re watching with you own kids and then it’s like “Whoa, Nelly! _WHAAAAAT_ did they just do?!?” It’s even worse if you have a daughter. Most of my friends and family (by some very weird coincidence) have 3-4 boys and no daughters. When I point this stuff out to them they’re in shock.

“TV-PG”, not “G”, but I did a double-take last night while watching an episode of the animated _Young Justice_ series (which is quite good). Amongst the teenaged superheroes is an archer girl named Artemis. In one scene, Artemis apparently loses her quiver, and a bit later she reflexively reaches back for an arrow. Upon not finding an arrow there, she yells in frustration, “Oh! I feel naked! And not in the fun way!” ---

Nothing phallic - just the torture of placing a jug of water just out of reach of a prisoner (now a skeleton). Nasty! 😃 Of course, the plot already features the threat of cutting the heroine’s heart out … ---
