It's time for that show where we talk about what happens with older ladies, it's time for Mature Musings.
Today we're talking about something unique: A Disney film! Specifically, we're talking about the first in the Disney Renaissance, The Little Mermaid. Now, the movie went through a lot of production mishaps to try and make the film's main character Ariel look just right, believable yet family friendly. That meant giving her a bra made of seashells instead of featureless breasts shown in concept art.
Well, there's a moment in the movie where Ariel gets legs, and she isn't wearing anything down below because she's a mermaid and leg clothes don't exist in the deep. For the most part, she's hidden in shadow... but if you brighten up the lighting of the scene, you can see her shapely rear. This is portrayed as something completely natural and normal, a natural consequence of the change, not called attention to. Plus, Disney made this film to entice adults, too, so there was no point in denying that this kind of thing exists.
Of course, Disney today is a spineless organization, who takes Walt Disney's drive of making movies for everyone including the child in every adult and twists it into only making movies for children with some psuedo-PG-13 reference to keep the adults from walking out of the theater. They're solely a kids' company, to the point where they even censored a knee later on in the movie because it kinda looked like a boner. As such, for the most recent release of the movie, Disney made the frame look darker so brightening up the gamma would do nothing, proving themselves to be complete cowards in the process.
This is the evil of Disney. Because they think animation is only for kids, and that kids would see a nude woman as "inherently sexual", they take a scene that passed in the old days and censor it to make it suitable only for young children. And considering they benefit from animation only being for kids, and have maximum influence over the field of animation, then it means we have to work extra hard in order to get things on the right track.
Because if we don't have the top people in charge of animation on our side, we're in trouble.
