Right, she was talking to the Lion, the Zebra and the Giraffe.

Her appearance was a take off on The Birth of Venus.

You’re right! - And I totally missed that until it was pointed out to me. :smack:

A Disney film from the same era had an [out-and-out centerfold](http://www.snopes.com/disney/films/rescuers.asp) in it - one frame, as they rush past some lighted windows, had a pictorial figure in one of the windows. Absolutely deliberate. Seen only in the original theatrical release and the earliest VHS releases, found and fixed after that.

I don’t see that as “getting crap past the radar” - as in it was _ **one frame** _ of the movie - it wasn’t an integral part of it - your average viewer would never see (or look for it) until told.

the other references (like Madagascar, or ‘shut up and drive’ above) are more the kind I think of - where the kids get one laugh and the adults get an entirely different kind of laugh - or where whoever picked the material/joke/song clearly didn’t get the ‘meaning’. (Born on the 4th of July as a polical rally song).
