  Speaker 1: The most insidious of Disney movies. The common examples, the
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: one that comes up the most maybe are the dick
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: castles in Little Mermaid poster, right, the little castle in
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: the background. They look like little dicks. Then you've got
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: the the Rescuers where they're flying down a city scape
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: and there's like a naked lady in one of the windows.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Really quickly, there's the line that some people say is
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: all teenagers take off your clothes in Aladdin. There's the
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: part in Lion King where he jumps into the little
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: cloud of like dust and feathers and it spells out
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: the word sex and the sky really briefly. There's even
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: a deleted scene and Who Framed Roger Rabbit in which
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Jessica Rabbit gets into a car wreck and her she
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: opens her legs as she falls out of the car
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: and a intentionally created that scene and then deleted it
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: just so they could have a deleted scene that like
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: people would talk about. These are the ones that I
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: think I might have missed one or two, but those
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: are the ones that come up the most in that
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Disney's trying to corrupt your kids. Disney's trying to convert
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: your kids into sex crazed maniacs. I don't think that
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: your kids seeing three letters on the screen for like
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: a half seconds gonna do it. I don't think a
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Dick Castle is gonna do it. You know what I
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: do think can harm your child, though, is teaching them
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: that it's toys love him back, and that they feel
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: physical pain, and that if you if you relinquish control
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: over your material possessions, that you're essentially killing them, that
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: you are torturing these things that love you. I think
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: that is probably one of the most insidious lessons that
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Disney can put into anything. I would much rather Dick
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Castle's and chernal bug and black magic and horoscopes than
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: teaching my kids that, you know, like your toys love
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: you back, so therefore you should put like a spiritual
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: investment into your material possessions. That is so crazy to me.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: And Toy Story is one of the bigger examples. Toy Story.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I would say that, like what is it brave Little
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Toaster walk, so Toy Story can run. They both are
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: the exact same premise that material possessions have a soul
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: and a spirit and therefore it's almost bad to get
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: rid of them.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, There's also one in the marriage scene of The
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Little Mermaid where the preacher or the priest or whatever,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: it looks like he has a boner.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Right, well, again, I would say that even if let's
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: just say that that is one hundred percent of boner,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: and I would say it is I'm not I am
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: a hugs like that he has a boner. I don't
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: know if that's gonna if that's gonna harm a young
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: viewer that sees that versus being taught that their toys
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: love them back and to not throughout their toys. And
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: even better, if you look at the first Toy Story Sid,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: who's seen as like the bad guy, because what does
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Sid do? Sid takes broken toys and he puts them
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: back together. So he's like making his own toys. He's
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: recycling things, which is not what Disney wants you to do.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Disney wants you to go to the store and buy
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: your ass a brand new, license, trademarked, you know, approved
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Disney product, and that if you are making your own toys,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: then you're essentially a monster. At least that that's Sid
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: rules and Toy Story one, they change that a little
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: bit when you get to like toy story four.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: That's very true. That's very true. Don't make your own
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: buy ours.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: So here's another here's a more fun version of Disney
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: villains and Chernibog. And the first thing to note is
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: that this is from Fantasia and this is on Ball Mountain.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: And if you look at the silhouette of Chernobog when
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: he has his wings up, because he's like a legitimate demon,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: his his name translates to the black God, and he
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: was a Slavic Germanic entity, which we're this is gonna
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: get kind of deepier. But look at the silhouette and
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: you'll see that that silhouette is repeated by Disney in
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: a lot of their other villain designs. The one that's
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the most obvious is Maleficent. So you can see, like
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Maleficen's head is the exact same shape as the wings
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: of Chernobog. And this is intentional. There what what Fantasia does.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: And I really believe this one strongly. Fantasia is a literal,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: magical spell that Disney cast onto the world to create
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: a fit like a reality, to make the Disney world
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: a real world, right like, like it's it's an actual
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: thing that exists in a way that me and you
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: could be dead for one hundred years and no one
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: will ever remember either of us have ever existed or
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: anything we ever said. But Disney, the company and the corporation,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: they will They will outlive almost anyone on the planet
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: right now. So in that way, like the spell worked,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: and that every time someone watches Fantasia, or any time
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: a new movie comes out that uses a theme from Fantasia,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: whenever I'm a Lificent remake comes out, it's just recasting
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: that spell over and over again and just making it
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: stronger each time. And I think that's that's almost how
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: you can interpret most Disney movies, is like, oh, it's
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: time to put another spell on real quick. And it
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: all starts with Fantasia in my opinion, But I feel
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: like Disney is accurately retelling real things that happened that
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: just turned into mystery school stories, and then mystery school
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: stories over thousands of years turned into old wives tales
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: and stories that Grandma would tell the youngins. But they're
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: essentially the same accurate stories being told over and over again.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: And then here's another example of how chernobog And again
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: this is not like, oh, well, Disney is sneaking in,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: you know, these these evil references. No, this is all
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: completely on out in the open. No one ever denied this.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: There's an interviews with the music director that said why
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: he picked all of these different songs. And for example,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: churnal Bog is also the name of a mountain called
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: journal Bog, and journal Bog had the name of Hell
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: and Devilstones and that also there's this area around this
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Journobo which is where they said there's ancient objects. There's
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: a place called Devil's pulpit, Devil's window, and a sacrificial cauldron.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: So these this is a real factual place that the
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Chernobug demon that they decided to depict in this episode
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: of Fantasia. This is like some of the oldest cult
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: like word like black magic worshiping cults that they decided
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: to kind of archetype this after. So none of this
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: is just by accident, and it's all really fascinating to me.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: So this it's gonna go a little bit deeper. I'm
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: not gonna just straight up read it. But if you
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: look into the region itself, these weren't just regular Slavs.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: These Slavs end up becoming part of Eastern Germany. So
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: the reason why this is important is because look at
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: all of the early Disney films outside of Pinocchio, a
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: large majority are Grim fairy Tales, and Grim fairy Tales
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: were largely Germanic folklore, and the Grim fairy Tales was
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: second only to the Bible, so in terms of sales,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: in terms of popularity, and I would even argue that
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: when the Grim fairy Tales were out, if you had
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Grim's fairy Tales and you had the Bible in your bookshelf,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: there's a good chance you read Grim's fairy Tales more
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: than the Bible because you had to have the Bible,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: like everyone had to have a copy of the Bible,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: otherwise you could be like someone would be like, hey,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: how come you don't have a copy of the Bible? Right,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: But if you had Grim's fairy Tales, it was likely
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: because you were actively reading it, or you're reading it
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: to kids, or you were reading it yourself. Like this
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: was like incredible, Like it was the only Harry Potter
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: that existed. Right. So the popularity of Grim's fairy Tales
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: paired with the German identity crisis that was going on
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: at the at the tail end of the nineteenth in
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: the early twentieth century, combined with Walt Disney repopularizing Grimm's
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: fairy Tales all over again through his animation in the
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: nineteen thirties. I've then there's a strong argument here that
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: like all of this kind of like comes to a head.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that that Walt Disney started World
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: War Two, but he invigorated, he helped invigorate this you know,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Germanic nation that had been going through an identity crisis
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: and then was all of a sudden popular with the
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: entire world over who and we're gonna we're going to
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: return to that too, because it's gonna come up again
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: a few different times, which is you know, the the
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Werner von Braun and Heinz Hop who also came over
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: in paper Clip. He doesn't get as much recognition, but
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: he also had a kids show on the Disney Channel.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: So a lot of these original stories originally from Germany,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: these original fairy.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Grim fairy tales, and they would they would often go
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: to Grim fairy Tales. Disney has a they would revisit
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Grim for a lot of their inspiration on early movies.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: And I'll go into some non Grim fairy tales ones too,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: but that was definitely all all sort of Germanic or
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: at least like Slavic Eastern European folklore. That essentially, if
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: you're not familiar with Grim fairy tales, the Grim brothers
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: were actually historians, and before the fairy tales, they wrote
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: the history of Germany like they were like the the
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: number one book on Germanic history, and they basically applied
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: the exact same level of research and detail to folklore.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: So they weren't just guys that were interested in in
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: stories that people were telling their kids. They were actively
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: trying to reconstruct an entire cultural identity that had been
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: lost for however long hundreds or thousands of years.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: It seems wow, that's super fascinating.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: So we're gonna we're gonna keep going on to Oh
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: and another fun little fact is that there is this
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: was discovered in two thousand and eight, but there's some
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: sort of an astrological alignment where you can witness the
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: the winter solstice at the actual Churnobog location at the
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: very top of this mountain called the Hand of the Gods.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: So anyways, there this specific location in which Fantasia and
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: chernobog Are introduced like the very first Disney villain. Essentially
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: that there's all sorts of astrological alignment to it, so
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I'm sure it's probably just a coincidence. And then here
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: is a quote from Deams Taylor. James Taylor was the
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: master of ceremonies in Fantasia. Since it's essentially like a musical,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: He's the one that decided what music would go in
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: and he said, quote Bald Mountain, according to judition, is
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: the gathering place of Satan and his followers on Wahlberger's Night,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: the equivalent of our Halloween. So he is talking about
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: why they included this scene because they wanted something to
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: represent a Satanic ritual by name. This isn't trying to
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: read between the lines. This is literally the guy that
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: put that song and that scene in there. And then
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: if you want to go on a whole Wallburger's tangent.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: But it's essentially like the movie, the A twenty four movie.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: I'm flanking on the name, but the may Day not hereditary,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: but it was the other one. That's essentially just another
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: variation of this Wahburger's Night. And then Midsommer go with
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: wicker Man, like all of the like, these were all
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: different variations of a similar, similar ritual that happened at
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: the same time, either like the day before the day after.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: There's also a Saint John's Day. And then here I
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: told you we were gonna we're gonna keep coming back
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: to World War two and like these interesting notes here
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: and you mentioned the Olympics when we first started talking. Interesting.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: This is a fun one to come up on Trivia night.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: The first television tower in the entire world, ever in
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: human history. The first television tower was built on on
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: the Brocken, which is the mountain in which Wahlberger's Night
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: was actually being celebrated, in which Churn of Bogs depicted
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: that actual mountain and real human history. Was the first
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: television station antenna to ever be erected, and it was
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: erected by the Nazis specifically to broadcast the Olympics one time,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: and then they took it down. So they erected an
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: anti kenna on Devil's Mountain just to broadcast the first
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: television broadcast ever and then took it back down again.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: I just I find that endlessly fascinating
