Eventually, he realizes what he’s done and becomes embarrassed. Lost in the moment, he rests upon the bustle of a carved wooden figure of an elegant lady. In another scene, Jiminy is watching Geppetto and Pinocchio dance. His narration continues with, “As I stood there warming my (pause) myself.”ĭisney knew there was no word he could use to describe Jiminy’s rear, but the joke works better leaving the term out completely. In an early scene, he hops over to the fireplace and uses his umbrella to pull a piece of coal out of the fire to warm himself.
After a few moments of Dopey tossing and turning, Sleepy rises and “fluffs” Dopey’s cheeks to make it more comfortable.Īt the beginning of the movie “Pinocchio,” Jiminy Cricket narrates the story. Eventually, Sleepy curls up against Dopey and uses his butt as a pillow.
Dopey settles in immediately, but it takes Sleepy a little longer to find a spot. Snow White takes over the dwarf’s bedroom, leaving the men to find other places to sleep. When the dwarfs are singing “The Silly Song,” Grumpy works the organ bellows by shifting his weight from one butt cheek to the other in an exaggerated manner.Īfter the merriment dies down, it’s time for bed. Let’s start with “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” To give you an idea of how often rump humor is used in Disney movies, I’m going to bring you just a few of the many examples found in his full-length animated classics. When watching a movie in the theater and a fanny is brought into the mix, kids laugh the loudest.

This is a funny scene.īut what if the Matchmaker’s legs had caught fire rather than her butt? Would this scene have been comical? Maybe. After an appropriate comedic pause, the Matchmaker realizes that her rear end is on fire, jumps up, and races around the room fanning her rather large behind. At one point, a pot of hot coals is knocked over and the Matchmaker accidentally sits on them. Of course, things don’t go well and calamity ensues. At this meeting, she has only a few minutes to demonstrate the necessary lady-like charms required to be a good wife. Then I settle in for an hour and a half of enjoyment with an “old friend.” Recently, I decided to watch Mulan as it had been a while since I had seen this movie about a young Chinese girl determined to bring honor to her family.Įarly in the film, Mulan is presented to the Matchmaker.
