Disney movies are some of the most paused movies out there - usually because eagle-eyed
Easter egg hunters are keen to spot fun intentional inclusions by Disney's animators, such as
characters from other movies making cameos in the background.
However, quite often, pausing Disney movies at just the right time can result in an image
Disney might not be so keen for you to see.
Whether it's a character looking a little less attractive than they usually do, a situation
being made to look inappropriate when taken out of context, or otherwise, there are some
Disney movie screenshots that weren't meant to be seen when paused.
This video will take a look at some entertaining examples of that.

Here are ten paused Disney moments they don't want you to know about.
The Little Mermaid In 1989's The Little Mermaid, the second time
Ariel and Eric meet, it is when Eric discovers Ariel on a beach, after she'd lost her voice.
The first time they'd met, Ariel saved Eric from drowning and disappeared just as he regained
conscious.
So, in this second meeting, Eric only vaguely recognised her.
Ariel's desperate attempts to communicate with Eric without her voice resulted in some
very exaggerated hand gestures - which Eric seemed to join in with.
If you pause the movie at just the right time, they don't look like Disney characters at
all - the pair actually look more like members of The Sopranos!
The Princess and the Frog Charlotte La Bouff from 2009's The Princess
and the Frog was a very attractive character - or at least she was meant to be!
Disney's intentions were obviously for the Southern belle to be physically beautiful
at all times - but a paused moment from one particular scene in her movie spoils that
notion somewhat!
It comes in the scene when Charlotte puts Tiana's tiara on her head in the bedroom.
As Charlotte adjusts her top, her face - for a mere moment - looks absolutely ghastly and
almost pig-like!
Yikes!
Toy Story 2
1999's Toy Story 2 saw the introduction of some new talking toys that weren't in the
first movie - one of them being the excitable Jessie.
Buzz Lightyear immediately found himself attracted to the cowgirl and introduced himself to her
in bumbling fashion.
Jessie seemed impressed and immediately grabbed Buzz to tell him how sweet she thought he
was.
But if you pause that scene at a very specific moment, it looks as though she's drunk as
hell, with Buzz looking on concerned and unimpressed at her unladylike behaviour!
The Fox and the Hound
1981's The Fox and the Hound follows the exploits of the titular young red fox - Tod - as he
grows into adulthood and tries to make a life for himself in the forest.
At one point, he encounters the female fox Vixey for the first time and, soon after meeting
her - which was initially disastrous after he failed to catch a fish to impress her - she
begins to show him affection, which includes rubbing herself against him.
Feeling the physical affection of a female for the first time seems to be too much for
Tod and, if you pause the movie at just the right moment, it looks as though he's reached
a point of pleasure unsuitable for young viewers!
Hercules
Hercules is, of course, one of the most macho characters in fiction - that's kind of his
schtick, after all.
In his titular 1997 movie, he meets Meg after saving her from the giant centaur known as
Nessus, by defeating the beast with his phenomenal strength - but a few moments later he doesn't
look so macho.
When he goes to see how Meg is, as she's cleaning her hair in some nearby water, he takes a
hit to the face from her soaking locks when she turns around.
Pause the scene at the right moment, and you'll see Herc looking more like the sassiest diva
in town than a super-strong heroic warrior.
Cinderella
1950's Cinderella is one of the sweetest, most innocent and quintessentially Disney
movies that the company has ever produced.
Nobody could ever take any scenes out of context from such a family-friendly Disney classic,
right?
Wrong!
In the scene in which the Grand Duke and the palace footman are peering over the balcony,
pausing it at a certain point looks as though the pair are indulging in some male-on-male
intimacy that is very unsuitable for children's eyes!
With the Duke positioned behind, he certainly appears to be enjoying it.
The footman, however...
not so much!
Aladdin
There are a lot of scenes in 1992's Aladdin in which the titular character is in motion
and, when paused, performing some anatomically impossible poses - but this one takes the
cake!
The thief and street urchin-turned-hero is having one of his typical altercations with
the palace guards when one of the guards loses his pants - it's the scene in which he uses
a fish as a makeshift pair of pants.
Aladdin stretches whilst running and the shape of his body basically looks like he's broken
every bone he's got!
Seriously, nobody can make their body stretch and twist like that!
The Emperor's New Groove
The Emperor's New Groove was a 2000 movie about the titular 18-year-old, selfish, spoiled
and sarcastic titular Emperor Kuzco.
The whole movie's plot is based around him learning to become a better person after being
turned into a llama - and it's that scene we're referring to here.
As Kuzco's transformation takes place while he's sat at a table with Yzma and Kronk, if
you pause the movie at a certain point, mid-transformation, you'll find that he looks like some animated
characters from a completely different (and far more adult) franchise - a certain Beavis
and Butt-Head!
Beauty and the Beast
There may be a fantastic live action remake of Beauty and the Beast coming out this year,
but nobody can forget the wonderful 1991 animated version of the classic tale.
As with all interpretations of the story, it featured the vain hunter Gaston and his
loyal, yet often-abused sidekick, LeFou.
There's a scene in which LeFou serenades Gaston with a song about how great he is - and it
includes a moment in which LeFou wraps a man's belt around Gaston's neck to demonstrate how
thick and muscular it is.
Unfortunately, when paused, there's a moment in which Gaston looks as though he's experimenting
with a little BDSM!
Frozen
When Anna and Hans first meet in 2013's Frozen, Hans and his horse inadvertently knock Anna
into a boat.
Their subsequent interactions are extremely awkward - both physically and verbally - and
this results in a scene that looks a little...
non-PG, let's say...
when it's paused.
Anna falls on top of Hans and, if you pause it at just the right ... or wrong... frame,
depending on how you look at it, it looks like Anna is lost in a moment of physical
ecstasy, while Hans looks as though he's embarrassed that his participation in the encounter has
just come to a premature end.
