claim: A crude sketch of a phallus could be seen on the inside of a log during an episode of Maya the Bee.
origin: In September 2017, a video circulated on Facebook purportedly showing a scene from the childrenâ€™s show Maya the BeeÂ in which a crude sketch of a penis could be briefly seen on the inside of a log: Hereâ€™s a better look at the drawing (image lightened for clarity): We reached out to Studio 100 Animation, the company behind Maya the Bee, for comment about the image. This isnâ€™t the first time that an obscene image has briefly appeared in a childrenâ€™s movie or television show. For instance, the 1977 animated movieÂ The RescuersÂ famously featured a brief glimpse of a topless woman. However, many rumors holding that this type of content appears in the animated frames of childrenâ€™s movies are false. The movieÂ Toy Story 3Â did not feature a silhouette of a woman performing oral sex;Â the movieÂ Monsters Inc.Â did not contain a childâ€™s drawing of a sex act; and neither Donald Duck nor RafikiÂ uttered curse words in the moviesÂ Who Framed Roger Rabbit? andÂ The Lion King.Â Â
