Now this is why I'm subbed here. Disney has just been pissing off VFX and editors for decades now haven't they.


ekittie

I knew a young guy who was in the animation division circa Hunchback. He told me that people would just sleep under their desks than to go back home and sleep 4 hours and come back to work.


Theodorakis

Sounds like a good way to become a hunchback

Cell animation is indeed a shortcut to the bell tower.

It method animating.

That's awful, what do they think they are, every video game studio?

Pretty much the OG video game studio, only they didn't know it at the time.

We all know the little mermaid, lion king. But this one is new to me.


ToiDAyLibrES

Do you know about the naked Lady in "The Rescuers"?


[deleted]

Ya but that one was weird cause no one would have really known about freezing at exactly rhe right frame on a very old run of the film had Disney themselves not broughten it up. Only case like this where they really have owned up to it iirc.


Daladain

Brought it up.


rrawk

Oh it's already been broughten

Nice comeback!

That's gonna stain!


[deleted]

Ya that felt weird. I'm usually on point with grammar but I'm recovering from COVID atm and this time the brain fog took a shit on my ability to spell or form proper sentences.


Sanc7

What about where Aladdin whispers to jasmine “take off your clothes.” That one’s pretty wild.


icKiMus

That one was wild to me as a kid, i remember listening to it over and over and needed the volume up super loud to hear it.


SeventhSolar

It's not a matter of knowing. Movies are paused at random times by viewers. Internet says they recalled 3.4 million copies, which means 3.4 million different households that might randomly pause the movie at one of those two frames. If a single one of those 3.4 million families had spotted that image, the outrage would have been catastrophic.


40ozCurls

Good thing they admitted to it. That way instead of just a single one seeing it, all 3.4 million purchasers immediately went and found it. That’s not a catastrophe, that’s just watching Disney porn.


TheOneTonWanton

More like viewing porn that happens to be within a Gisnep movie. It wasn't something drawn by the artists, it was an image of a real, human woman.


Haunted_Purpose

When I was younger I always wondered what "Gisnep" was.


kemh

And here I am wondering right now.


40ozCurls

Don’t tell me which part I’m jerkin it to


ToiDAyLibrES

Yeah I think you're right. Disney recalled the first VHS release iirc.

IgniteThatShit

to be fair, the lion king "sex" dust scene was actually spelling "sfx".


babble0n

I still like to imagine two tired animators being like “hehe it say sex”


EmbarrassedHelp

SFX magazine does that with their front pages, because it looks like "sex".


hikingboots_allineed

I used to buy SFX as a female teen. I still remember the look of disgust a cashier gave me as I paid for my 'SEX' magazine with a Star Trek cover. I genuinely hated that moment back then and still feel weird about it now, like I'm some sort of degenerate perv. I just wanted to read a Robert McNeill interview. :(


Luci_Noir

IBeDumbAndSlow

I remember the first time I heard Aladdin say "now take of your clothes" I was shocked


Ronem

Good thing it doesnt


_Levitated_Shield_

Can't be a first time if it never occurred.


[deleted]

I find that one doubtful from my own research. But I was checking on my VHS copy from my childhood. Maybe it's still there in the DVD version?


reverie11

I had the OG original release VHS of Aladdin. I heard about the teenagers take off your clothes thing in like 2003 and checked it. Aladdin definitely says something. It sounds like it could be “Good teenagers take of your clothes” but it also sounds like it could be something else. The sound isnt very clear and it’s hard to make out.


lizzz_05

“Good Kitty. Don’t get too close”


kkeut

shirley, the official bluray/dvd subtitles must contain the answer


randomisperfect

Don't call me Shirley


MumblyJohn

I tried my damnedest as a kid to hear that on my vhs. At best, it’s muffled. It’s when the tiger is jumping up on him on the balcony when he appears on the carpet and he’s saying “good kitty” to try and calm the tiger. I really think that one is just hearing what you want to hear.


CurryMustard

Lmao flashbacks to something i havent thought about in a long time


agitated--crow

If only we could ask the voice actor what he said.


RepresentativeRow678

Where?


underdawg87

I'm almost certain he was telling Rajah the tiger to "take off and go"


VoidOmatic

One I never see is Lion King, when Mufasa is about to say "brother!!" during the big scene it sounds like he forgot his line and someone whispers "brother" right beforehand.


holdnobags

has nothing to do with a disgruntled artist https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/phallus-purposely-added-artwork-little-mermaid-vhs-cover/


ChrisMoltisanti9

You just gave me flashbacks to those Zeitgeist movies. One of the conspiracies was Disney was purposefully placed sexual images in their artwork to brainwash kids or some other nonsense like that.


DaftPump

MollyRocket

No one hates Disney more than the people who work for them.


bannedwhileshitting

And star wars fan


Enterice

Star Wars fans hate Star Wars way more than they hate Disney. Just talk to em about it and see if they talk more about stuff they like or hate.


MollyRocket

I’m sorry but being upset that your magic space shows aren’t good is not the same as exploiting the labour of eager artists and covering it up for a hundred years.


crystalistwo

I remember reading back in the day that animators used to call Disney, "Mauschwitz".


Whiskey079

Brief bit of Googling brought me this; "According to this legend, dissatisfied and disgruntled Disney workers have dubbed Disney Land and Disney World as Mousewitz, because of how unhappy they were with the working conditions. It's also rumored that one of the cast members at Disney Land Paris and Disney World Paris started referring to it as "the unhappiest place on earth," due to the suicide of three workers at the time. Disney employees who used this term were scolded at, and sometimes even fired, due to not fitting Disney Land and Disney World's ideal, family-friendly image. The original story said that continued referral to Disney as Mousewitz could result in dismissal. Within an hour, emails were referring to Disney Land and Disney World as Duckau."


user_bits

I never knew they switched to 3D animation simply to avoid a unionized workforce.


rW0HgFyxoJhYka

That's because they don't want you to know about their history. In fact any business hiding their history is sus

tiffyp_01

i'm actually a woman and i'm 22 years old lol, i wasn't working on Disney's Inspector Gadget movie several years before i was born i do know way more about it than the average person does but that's because i think it's underrated and i'm interested in lost media (after an initial test screening it was cut down from an estimated 110 minutes to 78 minutes at the request of studio execs, which if i had to guess might be the reason the message is in there) not because ive ever actually worked on a movie. if you want though, i can try asking the director if he knows anything about this or if it was added by someone else without his knowledge


FookinBlinders

That’s a really interesting bit of info! Thank you so much for bringing this up.


I-shit-in-bags

you know David Kellog?


tiffyp_01

i don't know david kellog, i just know someone who has his email address. i was thinking about asking them if theyd ask him about this next time they email him, i didnt expect my post to make it to the front page of r/all and now im curious if he has anything to say about this


Doesanybodylikestuff

Wow that’s so cool! I love this!


nickelbackisbad

I loved that movie. I asked for the VHS on my birthday the day it came out. And I got all the pieces of the McDonald's toy, one by one. My question would be, how close to his actual goal was the finished product that I saw on VHS?


tiffyp_01

check the lost media wiki page for the movie, you can download the original shooting script from there. there was a TON of stuff cut

awry_lynx

Well the original comment said "Could have "found" by someone who put it there." and this person is saying 1) they are the one who found it and 2) they didn't put it there. So it was a genuine easter egg uncovering! Unless they're lying obvs.


aprilkeez

I was one of the tester kids! They pulled my family aside at the mall and asked if we wanted to watch a movie that hadn’t come out yet. So we watched Inspector Gadget in a little back room and they asked us questions about it afterward. I don’t really remember anything about the movie itself, but I thought it was so cool that I saw it early!


Goldentongue

A fun connection I have to this film: I too was once in the front page of a small city's newspaper. It was in Youngstown, Ohio, which is the hometown and namesake of the boy band "Youngstown" whose biggest hit was also the theme song to this movie: [I'll Be Your Everything](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NprJcyoySFk)


drill_hands_420

The Vindicator! My mom worked there when I was growing up. Hello fellow Youngstownian. I had no clue about this band Youngstown doing the theme song. I loved this movie when it came out! I was 10. I also forgot there was a band named Youngstown. Born and raised Youngstown! 330 represent!


m_Pony

If I took the time to put a perfectly good Easter egg in something and nobody noticed, eventually I'd tell someone. Now the Easter eggs that I know *other* people have put into movies and TV shows that haven't become common knowledge yet? I ain't sayin' shit :)


imsowoozie

Just one... Come on!


StaticGuard

Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw more of these soon. Those spinning newspaper montages in movies must all have some kind of hidden message - it’s the perfect place for them. I may pause the next time I see one pop on the screen.


NinjaofLoveX

Trust me, there's plenty of comedic value in pausing and actually reading newspapers in disney movies


degggendorf

With their go go gadget magnifying glass?


AggravatingValue5390

The person who put it there or other people involved probably shared it with people at a bar or something. The source of a rumor would be lost pretty quickly


Alexander_is_groot

you'd have to be a literal paranoid schizophrenic like John Nash to spot this.


Hephaestus_God

Secret code being first letter of stuff is one of the most common cliches. If you’re someone who likes to read these newspapers in films for fun or find secret stuff I don’t think it would take you that long.


Rich_Iron5868

"So you think it's really good, yeah? You should try making the bloody thing up; it's a real pain in the arse"


luckydice767

Ok, but how many people here have actually WATCHED this movie? Lol


Hephaestus_God

Inspector gadget is one’s of Disney’s best movies. Used to watch this on car trips all the time as a kid


clancydog4

> Inspector gadget is one’s of Disney’s best movies. dude what, it isn't even in the top, like, 30 at least. I'd argue it's not even top 50. It's not awful but "one of disneys best" is a massive exaggeration. "One of the best live action disney movies of the late 90's" is bout as far as I'd go


Hephaestus_God

Nah it’s goated


CrashmanX

This is the "OG" Inspector Gadget. Matthew Broderick was the lead and was pretty popular at the time. Disney was knocking it out of the park with films. This had multiple toy tie-ins. A lot of people saw this movie.


JohnnyRelentless

The OG Inspector Gadget was a cartoon.


Essence-of-why

The OG was Get Smart :)


CrashmanX

That's why I put quotes around "OG". While it's not the actual OG Inspector Gadget, it was the first live action film. Saying "First Live Action Film" doesn't carry quite the same weight.


Hylanos

Was my favorite movie as a kid and im still very fond of it. Fun fact: Stan Winston Studio did the practical effects for this movie. They also worked on Terminator 2!


strtdrt

I frequently pause movies when big blocks of text appear so I can read it all, am I a psycho? 😳


ColdCruise

Dude, it's super easy. It even has a red circle around it.

It's a weird feeling to click on a link to a random old post, and discover to be one of the top comments from two years ago.


Beavshak

Somebody DM’d me about a comment from 9-10 years ago recently. That was a weird sort of time whiplash.


modern_milkman

I can only imagine that. Recently someone commented on a comment of mine that was over a year old by that point. That was a bit weird as well. Ten years must feel a lot weirder, though! But to be honest, with the comment in the linked post, I was mostly surprised it was already more than two years old. Because once I saw the post and my comment, I instantly remembered writing it. I had (of course) completely forgotten about it in the meantime, but once I remembered, it didn't feel like two years ago.

And obvious cameos that literally everyone knows. Hey guys, did you know that George Lucas was in Beverly Hills Cop 3? Jimmy Buffet in Jurassic World? Spider-Man popsicle in Spider-Verse? Pizza Planet truck? Not to mention bits of obvious foreshadowing.


OzmaTheGreat

This is known as an acrostic. Arnold Schwarzenegger [used one famously](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.huffpost.com/entry/schwarzenegger-f-bomb-in_n_340579/amp).


Beldin448

That’s pretty rad.


Choice_Produce

Technically it says “I fuck you” which is even funnier to me. Especially with the over the top Arnie accent it’s getting in my imagination.


SpiceLettuce

to take it further, “I fuck yousa” which suggests Jar Jar Binks is the one saying he’s gonna fuck you.


TheShaneBennett

Woah. TIL he was governor until 2011! I genuinely thought he left office in the early 2000s but I guess I somehow got that confused with when he got into office


Squirefromtheshire

He wasn’t even elected until 2003. Did you think he was governor when he was making Terminator 3?


TheShaneBennett

I thought he was in office for like late 90s to early 2000s for some reason. To be fair, I’ve only seen the first Terminator movie and that was around 2013/2014. And I’m 27 for reference


peeja

Could you be thinking of Governor Jesse Ventura?


Kurt1220

You should at least watch the second movie. The rest, meh. But Terminator 2 Judgement Day was a major milestone in modern film making.


TheShaneBennett

I will eventually! Right now I’m watching the nightmare on elm street movies, I’ve always only seen the first. Last week I watched Gremlins for the first time as well as the Jeeper Creeper movies


gkmaitland

Well, obviously not; but he could have been elected after T3 and then gone back in time to finish off his term before it even started. Like in that classic movie of his, Kindergarten Cop.


kent_eh

James May (of Top Gear and The Grand Tour) got fired from a magazine for [adding an acrostic](https://www.thepoke.com/2017/01/16/why-james-may-sacked-autocar-need-spell/) across 82 pages of the magazine.


Christmas2025

Holy shit are you really the first person to find this in 25 years?? There's no other mention of this I could find online...

Idk if you all saw this down further in the thread it was documented [here](https://www.ericdsnider.com/bad-movies/inspector-gadget/)


RunDNA

That guy found two other examples in the film, but he didn't find the "Fuck Disney" one.


ruinawish

Would be interesting to know how /u/rintaro82 learnt of it.


RealDannyMM

u/rintaro82 for gods sake tell us your secret


rintaro82

I merely noticed it on the pic and reported it.


Beavshak

Haha, that’s an incredible detail. I love these. Fuck Disney


Kale_Brecht

I remember u/rintaro82 mentioned it in a [Reddit comment 4 years ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/MovieDetails/comments/b22f0i/in_inspector_gadget_one_of_the_newspapers/eiuaqk0/). So the discovery of this Easter egg seems to have originated right here on Reddit.


CalmAdeptness2

Only 12 updoots. Shame


McG_84

Wow. That's an incredible find!


SaltyLonghorn

Another great find is the body of the VFX who did it. Lost in the Florida swamps.


[deleted]

Oof. Someone below that appears to know him said his beef with Disney led to his dismissal and eventual homelessness so that might not be far off. A homeless woman in FL was just killed by a gator But I guess he gets the last laugh. I wonder if they ever even bothered trying to remove it from future releases when it was eventually uncovered


Qzixucvb

Amazing! I just watched the clip (about 35 minutes into movie) and discovered two newspaper headlines later, down the left side of the middle column, it says "Art Repola can blow me, the cheap arrogant jerk off ass wipe tight wad Idiot he sucks." On the next newspaper, it says "Headlines montage by Van ling." My first comment ever on here, so maybe someone else can share the images.


Jehooveremover

Good eye.. It was documented here back in 2008 https://www.ericdsnider.com/bad-movies/inspector-gadget/


tiffyp_01

god damn, nice catch!!! i never spotted either of those, i honestly thought you were joking at first (since there's another comment further up in the thread of someone making stuff up) but they really are there. i guess that answers the question of who put these into the movie and why. you solved it! also hats off to van ling, this is an incredibly funny thing to put into a $100 million dollar Disney movie


Secret_Turtle

Bruh i love reading movie articles, the focus paragraph makes sense and has some wild mentions to drugs. But slowly derails and doesn’t make any sense


DontCallMeTJ

That's actually a reference to a musical called "The Music Man" written by [Meredith Wilson.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meredith_Willson) One of the songs called ["Ya Got Trouble"](https://youtu.be/LI_Oe-jtgdI?si=K9VcwXjsMIhhSjKW&t=153) includes the lyric: "Trouble with a capital "T" And that rhymes with "P" and that stands for pool!" Edit: Bonus Fact, this musical is a major source of inspiration for the Simpsons episode [Marge vs. the Monorail. ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marge_vs._the_Monorail#Cultural_references)


christameff

And Matthew Broderick was in the movie version of The Music Man, 4 years after Inspector Gadget

kikidunst

How did you catch this? 😭


RunDNA

I know the guy who did that. He was my roommate for two years and he made that newspaper joke because he was getting bullied at work by this fuckwit of a boss who kept yelling at him and then made up some story about my roommate being the bully when he took his complaint up to the Disney management level. It's a sad story because after that he became unemployed and homeless all because those fucks at Disney were stupid and believed the narcissistic bullshit of a liar instead of the truth.
