WTF. I guess that if you look hard enough, and you are filled with enough angst, then you can find hidden messages in just about anything. Yeah, yeah...I've known about the penis in Ariel's castle and the booby shot in The Rescuers for years now. The Retro Crush article wasn't about that. Disney has never been shy about showing some of the darker aspects of life. Life is not always a pleasant romp through a sunny meadow. I think Disney does a very good job of conveying that "You are not alone, bad things <b>do</b> happen and can be overcome.". I grew up on Disney, as did/do/will my kids, and if I'm twisted, it sure as hell wasn't from anything that I ever saw from Disney.
