It's no secret that some of the major production companies behind children's animated movies tend to throw in risqué jokes every now and again. You know, to keep parents as entertained by the movie as their kid - they're the ones buying the tickets after all.

Some of the most wholesome Disney movies, for example, will have moms and dads cackling away while their youngsters watch on in oblivion.

And as far as Disney is concerned, Mickey and Minnie Mouse are as wholesome as it gets. But even they are not immune to this treatment.

In fact, one Disney enthusiast has taken to TikTok to share a discovery she made after she bought a mat adorned with an image of Mickey and Minnie Mouse.

On closer inspection, a particular part of Minnie's skirt resembled something quite "rude".

Check out the discovery here:

Michelle explained in the video text that she "picked up the cutest mat today and realized when I got home that something was 'up' with Minnie."

Needless to say, a number of people took to the comments to weigh in on the x-rated discovery.

One person had a lucky escape, explaining that they too had been planning to buy it.

They wrote: "I had this in my cart at Hobby Lobby but realized it wasn't 40% off. Glad I didn't buy it."

Another commenter recognized that mat from her work, writing: "Omg my job sells this mat and I will not be able to see it the same."

Carrying on the theme of not being able to "unsee" the "rude" addition to a supposedly innocent Disney mat, another TikTok user shared: "I had to watch this twice to see it. Now I can't unsee it."

But while many could not "unsee" it, others couldn't see it full stop.

"Please explain," said one user, while another asked, "What is wrong?"

When I went swimming as a kid, I would always pretend I was a mermaid. Sort of like Ariel the Little Mermaid - but the 'me' version of the beloved Disney character - whatever the 'me' version of Ariel happened to be.

I had a pretty vivid imagination so it kept me entertained for quite some time. Of course, you eventually grow up, leaving your days of make-believe firmly behind you as a result.

'Under the Sea' from The Little Mermaid:

When I hit the pool nowadays, I am no longer my own version of the Little Mermaid - just plain old me.

But if you were anything like me as a kid, you may want to revisit your childhood dreams by renting this magical mermaid house.

Dubbed the Seashell House, the gorgeous mermaid-inspired home is found on the coast of Isla Mujeres, in Mexico.

The house comes complete with a private pool (duh!), shell ornaments, a shell fountain, and a stunning bed with a giant shell for a headboard.

It's also very reasonably priced. The property is listed on Airbnb for an affordable £236 per night. The house is fit for four people so that would work out to be £59 per night per person.

So, if you're tempted by the prospect of living in your very own Little Mermaid castle (and spending some time in Mexico too), then get a few of your pals to rent this magical property with you!

A woman has taken to social media to reveal the moment she was allegedly "dress coded" at a Disney theme park.

Yes, Disney World may be known as the most magical place on Earth, but that doesn't mean there aren't rules that guests must follow.

Taking to TikTok under the handle @toragrams, a woman shared the moment she was allegedly pulled up on her choice of outfit, and provided with a free Disney t-shirt by the park's staff.

In the video, which appeared to have been recorded at Disney's Magic Kingdom park in Orlando, Florida, the woman can be seen being accompanied by a Cast Member to one of the park's stores.

"So year just experienced getting dress coded at Disney," the 23-year-old writes on the video.

Check out the video below:

The video shows @toragrams wearing denim shorts and a black cardigan held together by two ties - which she then changes for a yellow Walt Disney World t-shirt.

"I mean, I kinda agree [with] them looking back at this video," she captioned the post.

The video quickly went viral, amassing more than 6.4 million views and over 3,000 comments from fellow TikTokers in just three days.

One comment came from somebody who apparently used to work at the Disney parks, who wrote: "Hi I used to work there, the rule is that your top can’t have just a string to hold it together if that makes sense so that’s why!!"

To which, @toragrams replied: "Yeah the [Cast Member] was not very sweet about it but maybe she was in a bad mood, the lady who gave me the voucher was nice tho! no hard feelings just thought [sic]."

Some TikTok users disagreed with the call, with one person writing: "I’m sorry but they reached with this one. There is nothing wrong with your original top. I’ve seen so much worse."

However, others agreed with the Cast Member's decision, with one user writing: "Because of the rides I see how it can be a problem, but super cute top."

On the official Disney World website, the company states: "Disney reserves the right to deny admission to or remove any person wearing attire that is considered inappropriate or attire that could detract from the experience of other Guests."

It adds that this can include: "Clothing which, by nature, exposes excessive portions of the skin that may be viewed as inappropriate for a family environment."

VT has reached out to Disney Parks for an opportunity to comment.

Disneyland fans have come together on social media to support an employee dubbed the "Fairy Godmother’s Apprentice".

A TikToker named Kourtni - who goes by the handle @kourtnifaber - shared a video of her family’s recent trip to the Disneyland theme park in Anaheim, California.

The heartwarming clip shows a park employee named only as Nick welcoming visitors outside the children’s store, Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique.

"So, my name’s Nick. I’m one of the Fairy Godmother’s apprentices. I’m here to shop you around and make all your selections for the day," the worker can be heard telling the influencer's daughter.

Watch Kourtni's TikTok below:

At the time of writing, the video amassed a whopping 10 million views and 1.1 million likes but has unfortunately been met with backlash from people, especially conservative commentators.

TV host Sara Gonzales blasted: "Stop taking your family to Disney," while Brandon Morse, an editor at Red State, criticized: "May you never suffer the same destruction of your legacy that poor Walt has."

However, the love outweighed the negativity as the footage has been flooded with so much love and support from Disney fans. One fan commented: "Nick looks amazing. I love that CM costumes are no longer gender specific."

Another user said: "That cast member is amazing !!!!!!!!!!! Nick is [awesome]," while a third person remarked: "Nick looks like he loves his job. Hard to find these days."

A fourth user shared their previous experience with Nick, penning: "Ugh I love Nick! I taught Nick colorguard for a season and [they] were one of the most lovely humans I’ve had the pleasure of teaching."

Lastly, one more person on Twitter stated: "This is actually a good thing. Representation matters & children should be able to know that this is okay!"

Last year, the Walt Disney Company announced that employees at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique will have a gender-neutral title change from "Fairy Godmothers in Training" to "Fairy Godmother’s Apprentices" in an effort to be more inclusive.

At the time, the corporation said: "This way, cast members that might not identify as female can still be part of the process to dress up & style the children without having to refer to themselves as a female Disney character," as cited by The New York Post.

In addition to this, the attraction's employees sport uniforms similar to the beloved Fairy Godmother’s dress from the 1950 animation Cinderella.

Furthermore, the store allows children aged three to 12 to be a Disney prince or princess by selecting from a range of costumes, hairstyles, makeup, nail colors, and accessories. Kourtni's viral video showed the costumes' prices being from $250 to $450.

A crafty mom has won widespread praise online after creating a stunning "mermaid wall" from wallpaper samples.

Now, as any parent will attest, decorating is an expensive job. It's only natural to want the best for your kids, and to create an environment where their imaginations will thrive, but this can come with a hefty price tag.

Katie Blackbourn, 30, from Essex, however, created a feature wall for her daughter for just $24.36 (£20).

She revealed her creation on the DIY Facebook group, Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, writing that all she needed to create the feature was bright paint, free wallpaper samples and wallpaper paste.

In an interview with Pretty52, she said: "This project began with the idea of a green/blue theme."

"I went to B&M to look for paint and bought Dulux Feature Wall in Proud Peacock for $18.26 (£14.99). I didn't buy a tester so hoped for the best that it would look as good on the wall as it did on the tin!"

"From there I had no idea what to do next, I just knew I wanted some sparkle. I got some wallpaper samples from B&M and B&Q and took them home to look at with the paint," she continued.

The 30-year-old then explained that it took a little experimentation to get the "scales" just right:

"I genuinely couldn't decide on one I liked the most so I decided to cut a few bits and place them together. I love collage and mixed media so I was in my creative element. I tried a few different things and the scales just seemed to click!"

Once her idea was in motion, Katie then used a cardboard template to ensure that each of her scales was the same size.

"I used Solvite Wallpaper paste from B&M at £1.99 ($2.42) and began to arrange the scales on the wall," she said. "I stopped at the point I decided was enough and added a little mirror in from Poundland because I like the idea it broke up the pattern."

Following the success of the project, Katie has now created an Instagram page to share her other creative ideas.
