I'm sure you all know this already, but still.

Giant penis (look at the very center of the castle thing, you cant miss it)
Isn't the Lion King one mentioned in some book/movie, like Fight Club or something?
Does that really make them pervs?
Putting that kinda stuff in a little kid's movie? Yeah, it does

I'd say so, lol.
Eh it's widely known that they do stuff like this but generally hidden and indirect, ment to be more like easter eggs for adults etc..
Nothing a child under 4-6 would notice most of the time.
Watch snow white or alice in wonderland, or even go to epcot//disney world and go thru some of the rides there is alot of stuff hidden in the deco//walls there as well.
You'll find alot of trippy stuff and some things that are directly drug related in backgrounds.. walls.. and other things if you pay attention and look for it.
The sex related imagery in things doesn't suprise me, tho I don't recall older instances of things like that from "older" disney films/toons.
You forgot the most important one!

That still doesn't justify it...
Apparently, when they found out Disney did a massive recall on The Rescuers:
http://www.snopes.com/disney/films/rescuers.htm
Here are some other of the other popular stories about Disney movies:
http://www.snopes.com/disney/films/minister.htm -- false
http://www.snopes.com/disney/films/lionking.htm -- undetermined
http://www.snopes.com/disney/films/mermaid.asp -- false
And there are probably more (http://search.atomz.com/search/?sp-q=disney&getit=Go&sp-a=00062d45-sp00000000&sp-advanced=1&sp-p=all&sp-w-control=1&sp-w=alike&sp-date-range=-1&sp-x=any&sp-c=100&sp-m=1&sp-s=0).
I don't think that these instances show any pattern, or that they could be called "easter eggs". It's a pretty big stretch to think that Disney even knew they were being included.
I dont see HOW they can say that the boner and the little mermaid things were false. Also, it is beyond any stretch of the imagination to not think that in the lion king that the dust spells sex.
hahahahah old guy developers and Disney movies don't make a good connection

Maybe if you read it...
I did read it.
Sounds like complete bullshit.
"the artist hurried through the background detail (at "about four in the morning") and inadvertently drew one spire that bore a rather close resemblance to a penis"
...rather close? whatever
They are what they are. You might be able to say that the back story is false, but not that it is completely false.

I'm pretty sure that's what they were after. Saying the Little Mermaid cover has a penis drawn on it because the artist was disgruntled over being fired in the near future is apparently false. Also, from all of the research they did (they usually do quite a lot), it would seem that both that were named "false" were unintentional.
Of course, it could be a big conspiracy and everyone's lying about it, but I'll give up my cynicism for a day and agree with Snope's conclusions.
There is no doubt about it, someone drew a penis on there...

But you can't argue with his statement! His argument is obviously bullet-proof :P

Haha. I'm not denying that I think it was intentionally put on there by someone, but the whole story behind it seems to have proven imaginary.

To me, it definitely sounds like, "Good *undecipherable word*. Take off and go."
Anyways, the only two on there that might hold some truth is the SEX one on the Lion King, and the penis on the castle in The Little Mermaid. In my eyes, the rest are blatantly false.
