![]() ![]() Someone came up with a salacious phrase that sounded somewhat like the original portions of dialogue, and the power of suggestion took over. A garbled and whispered portion of dialogue that could barely be heard in the theater was being replayed over and over in millions of homes, but was difficult to distinguish. The "take off your clothes" rumor started soon after Aladdin was released on home video in 1993. Once people have been told what they're "supposed" to be hearing, however, they find it difficult to maintain objectivity and therefore swear that Aladdin couldn't possibly be saying anything else. Whatever was being said, to the casual listener the resulting phrase can certainly sound like, "Good teenagers, take off your clothes," although the phrase is clearly the combination of two different voices speaking in two different tones. Perhaps the overlapping voices were merely the product of bad editing, and some stray bit of chatter (or a piece of dialog that was supposed to have been clipped) was accidentally grafted onto the soundtrack. There is no other character in the scene who could conceivably be speaking: the tiger doesn't talk, the voice is male (eliminating Jasmine), and both the genie and the rug are below the balcony and off-screen. Aladdin's line is "Scat, good tiger, take off and go," Disney says. There's nothing there," says Rick Rhoades, a Disney spokesman. "If somebody is seeing something, that's their perception. ![]() "It's like a toddler introduction to porn.'"ĭisney quickly fired back. "I felt as if I had entrusted my kids to pedophiles," says the Carthage, N.Y., homemaker, who promptly threw the videos into the garbage. Until, that is, an acquaintance tipped her off to a startling rumor: The Magic Kingdom was sending obscene subliminal messages through some of its animated family films, including Aladdin, in which the handsome young title character supposedly murmurs, sotto voce, "All good teenagers take off your clothes." "Disney was almost a member of the family," she says. that she owned stacks of its animated home videos, a Beauty and the Beast blanket and a Disney diaper bag. Lisa Bannon penned a 1995 story in the Associated Press about the rumor, with one mother calling the line of dialogue "a toddler introduction to porn":Īnna Runge, a mother of eight, was so enamored with Walt Disney Co. Decide for yourself: Is it a naughty message or just innocent confusion? The moment can be heard in this slow motion audio track, or this one at normal speed, or this third track. Who this second voice was, and exactly what he said, is a mystery. good kitty," and just as Aladdin said the word "kitty," a second voice began to whisper, "Pssst. A close listening to the audio track revealed Aladdin speaking the words "C'mon. Take off." However, neither one of these phrases seemed to match what is heard on the soundtrack. Take off and go," while the closed captioning had him uttering, "Good kitty. If you're atheist (or even if you're not), you can also envision an incredibly luminescent, fiery shield surrounding you and your room.One Disney representative claimed that the script called for Aladdin to say, "C'mon. If it helps, envision figures in whom you place great trust and faith (such as religious figures) watching over you in your room before going to sleep. ![]() No matter what, though, I wouldn't worry too much about being harmed and you don't necessarily have to take the voices and sounds you hear seriously. I don't think I'm schizophrenic!) There are all sorts of ideas about what this all means, ranging from "it's a random product of your brain" to "communication with spirits." Explore it, and you'll come to your own conclusions. (And I want to clarify for all the psychiatrists out there that this occurs strictly during meditative or hypnagogic states. I hear voices, too many times they are not my own. Needless to say, that wasn't exactly pleasant (though quite interesting). One time I felt a brick fall and hit my face (during hypnagogia). I'm just glad to know it happens to other people and I'm not crazy. But no one who I new that died had a voice like that or made me feel as uncomfortable as I did last night. Also online it said it could have been a dead friend or relative. When I researched online 3am is the hour of the devil and it was 3:09am when it happened. I was so scared I called my friend and kept the lights on all night, and turned on the television. When I heard what sounded like a whisper but it was pretty loud.and almost in a devil like voice and it said my name. Last night I was laying on my couch and falling asleep but still alert.
