Next, I reviewed a few famous urban legends about hidden Disney freakiness. Disturbing! But not, it must be said, hot. I asked my colleague Miles Surrey, who recently spent 12 hours watching Disney+, whether he’d seen anything that could be considered “sexy.” He noted that The Love Bug has a number of surprisingly ribald jokes, including intimations that “Dean Jones fucked Herbie.” Surrey also noted that Herbie (the car) locks a woman inside of him so a man can flirt with her. All shockingly devoid of even a whiff of naughtiness. There were a number of films with titles that sounded filthy, but which are not, like: Double Teamed, The Swap, and Once Upon a Mattress. To find out, I first went through the films to see whether I recognized any movies with some dirty, nasty moments in them. Place-Kicking Mules, Alien Cats, and a Surplus of Gambling: 12 Hours of Watching Disney+ The Mandalorian - The Ringer Is there truly no adult content on Disney+? What, exactly, has Disney deemed SFS (safe for streaming) or banned as too naughty? One must naturally inquire: Is there anything even remotely raunchy, ribald, or freaky available on Disney+? But when lines are drawn, it is human nature to seek their edges.
It also meant that while The Mandalorian was billed as “darker, freakier,” it probably wouldn’t be showing any gore or Baby Yoda cloaca (look it up-or don’t). This meant that its superhero options wouldn’t include the R-rated films it added to its catalog after acquiring 20th Century Fox, Logan or Deadpool-or other more adult Fox films for that matter.
One major difference Disney pointed out early on was its decision to stick with “family-friendly” content-G, PG, and PG-13 films only. So how would the Mouse stand out from its competition? When Disney announced plans for its own streaming service, which went live November 12, it entered a very crowded field.
In these dizzyingly divided times, perhaps the one thing all Americans can agree on at this point is that there are too many freaking streaming services.
