8. Male Member #1 in The Little Mermaid
That’s right, the first phallus that’s tucked away in this Disney classic isn’t actually tucked away at all, it’s right on the cover! Visible in the castle behind Ariel is a clearly identifiable object that resembles a penis. If you’re lucky enough to own the VHS copy of The Little Mermaid, then you own a copy of legendary cover art no longer being printed by Disney. After Entertainment Weekly shed light on this perverse drawing in the 1990s, Disney was forced to change the cover for its later releases. Although Disney did not outwardly admit that there was a penis on the film’s cover, the change in artwork was enough to have at least acknowledged the problem. Hipster idea: frame that cover!
