Disney Urban Legends
As most urban legends go, their origin is suspect or lost in translation, as is their authenticity.
It is indeed difficult to prove which of these are true.
Here are some interesting urban legends that you might enjoy reading! ·Walter Elias 'Walt' Disney, co-founder of Walt Disney Productions and the Walt Disney company is one of the most loved motion picture producers in the world.
A popular urban legend surrounding Walt Disney's death was that he chose to be cryogenically frozen after his death, so he could be brought back to life once technology was advanced enough to do so.
·It is also believed that Walt Disney created a film telling his executives how to run the company after his death.
·Another urban legend related to the Disney Company is that men with long hair weren't allowed to enter Disney parks, neither were they allowed to sport facial hair.
This rule was abolished later and male cast members can now sport neatly trimmed mustaches.
·It is believed that the amusement rides at Disney have caused a number of deaths because of guests flouting safety norms and regulations.
·The Haunted Mansion built at Disney in 1969 apparently caused an old man to have a heart attack; the ride was then closed and all 'scary' props removed to prevent such an incidence from taking place again.
·Disney Productions is said to have made a movie called 'Song of the South' depicting slavery in America - and even went to the extent of showing poor slaves 'happily' serving white families.
This urban legend shows the movie in poor taste, as it depicts a shameful period in American history.
·Disney Productions' film Three Men and a Baby is said to have a scene where the ghost of a small boy appears in one of the frames.
The boy is believed to have died in the apartment that the film was shot.
·An actor playing a Munchkin in the film Wizard of Oz is said to have committed suicide on the sets of the film.
It is believed that this act can be viewed in the scene of the film where Dorothy and the Scarecrow discover the Tin Woodsman.
·A stuntman is said to have died during the chariot race sequence of the 1959 classic, Ben-Hur.
·It is believed that Disneyland has a 'members only' private club called Club 33 - the only place in Disneyland where alcohol is served.
·The beloved character Tinker Bell is believed to have been modeled on Marilyn Monroe.
·In 1946, Disney created a film called 'The Story of Menstruation' as educational material for use by the sanitary napkin company, Kotex.
It had animation and illustrations depicting the female reproductive process.
·Rumor (or urban legend!) has it that guests visiting Disney parks have been molested by theme park cast members.
It is indeed difficult to prove which of these are true.
