Subliminal Movies Are More Common than you Think

This post will tackle the issue of subliminal movies – i,e. The phenomenon of movies using subliminal messages – why they do it, and what benefit it serves, and we will also talk aboutsome common examples.

The most famous example, or I should say examples are from Disney – they are infamous for putting subliminal messages in their movies. If you want to see them all then view our subliminal messages in disney article, but some famous examples are from:

The Lion King: Where the stars align to form the word “Sex” in the sky when Simba is waiting to see his father in the sky.

Aladdin: There is an audio hidden message saying “teenagers, take off your clothes” in the scene where Aladdin is on the balcony of Jasmin’s window.

The Rescuers: In the background at one point a nude woman can be seen in one of the windows of a house.

Roger Rabbit: Jessica rabbit opens her legs, but they are not cartoon – a real woman’s open legs have been inserted.

There are also messages as reported in Pocahontas, Toy Story, and other Disney movies.

It’s debatable why movies would want to use subliminal messages.. Advertisers clearly use them with really great results. For example, to create more sales or to make the brand more prominent in your memory. But with a movie there is not this sales driven incentive. Arguably they use them in a similar way to make the movie more memorable, or within the advertising to make you want and go and watch the movie but the studios and production companies always deny this.

Another famous example is from the movie “Fight Club”. The movie character Tyler Durden putsubliminal pictures into childrens movies. Inserting an pornographic image for a split second. This movie started a craze for looking for subliminal messages. This is not the only subliminal message in fightclub though. There are flashed images of Tyler Durden all the way through it. If you watch closely there are flashed images and scenes where the Tyler Durden character is in the background – making a subliminal reference to the fact that his character is not that important. This is more an artistic use of subliminal messaging, but messages can be found in many movies – here is a brief list:

Pokemon – saying “Go f*** yourself” while the animals are running through the street.

Licence to Wed – On the movie poster the word Sex is embedded into the sheet covers.

Spongebob – Messages of hidden 666 symbols throughout the movie.

High School Musical – Contains various messages when the songs are played in reverse.
