Disney Censorship / Myth Comparison: Sex in the Clouds in The Lion King (1994)

The original theatrical version and 1995 VHS and LaserDisc releases of The Lion King (1994) contain a moment that was altered beginning with the 2003 DVD release. The sequence involved Simba and a cloud of debris that, if you believe urban legends and myths, spells out “S-E-X”. It looks more like S-F-X to me, a common acronym for special effects, but the shot in question was altered no matter the truth on all subsequent releases.
