I like to read the wacky (but is it
true?) stuff they print on Cracked.com, especially the Rock and Roll
stuff. Here's a new article about hidden messages in rock records:
20 Mind-Blowing Easter Eggs Hidden on Famous Albums
There
are also a lot of weird things snuck onto kid's animated movies. I
should know since I've worked on a lot of children's animation.
Sometimes we would draw something wildly inappropriate but knowing the
assembly line process of old fashion 2D drawn animation we'd figure
someone down the line would get a giggle out of the joke and then fix
it. Most of the time the folks following up your work are either doing
it in their sleep, don't care enough to fix it or let it pass through to
see if you'll get in trouble for doing it in the first place. Some of
the things we (the animators) would do is write rude words into the
soles of tennis shoes when a character's foot is in the foreground while
running away from the camera. Also, drawing anuses or genitals on
animal characters.
The truly bizarre and sometimes frightening things that turn up in songs and movies aren't the ones that immature artists sneak in for a laugh but things that just happen by coincidence or by accident. One of the strangest happened to us when some fan pointed out how our song I Wish You'd Love Me syncs up with the movie The Wizard Of Oz. It was totally unintentional and freaked us all out when we saw it. Don't believe me? See for yourself;
The Wizards of Odd meet the Wizard Of Oz.
