/Film: F*cking Enchanted: The F-Word in a PG Movie?

  • Eric D. Snider · 2 years ago
    No, it's in the theatrical version, too. I heard it and thought, "Did I just hear that?" before deciding it was "get that bus out of here," not "get the f*** out of here." "That bus" certainly makes sense in context, and it makes more sense from a technical standpoint, too. The background noise almost certainly would not have been recorded live on the street, but would have been added later, in post-production. So it's unlikely that anything would make it in by accident.

    Yeah, i thought it was F*ck at first too, but after listening in shock about 10 times, and putting my ear right next to the speaker, you can definatley hear the "B"
  • Daniel · 2 years ago
    It's definitely "Get that bus out of there". But the first time I listen to it, I heard "f*ck". Just as Derek points out, it takes a couple of listens.

    I saw Enchanted with family this weekend and never thought twice about this scene. Funny though! Personally, I think people who search for this stuff or wring their hands over analyzing this sort of crap (yeah, including "it's a lion!") are absurd.

    You can clearly hear him say bus.

    It doesn't even sound remotely like the F word.

    "And I’m sure in the years to come, like most of the Disney Urban Legends, this will be told from friend to friend as a little known fact."


    The only problem is all this stuff disney is churning out now a days, are not classics, I'd be suprised if anyone remembers this movie ten years from now.
  • carlos · 2 years ago
    go BUS yourself! lol ...kinda makes you remember why mommys and daddys bacame mommys and daddys! I am sure no innocent kids actually recognized the F*/* word, its just those grown ups that are ao fond of the word.
  • Mike · 2 years ago
    After reading the article I watched the clip to listen out for it, and after about 4 repeat viewings not hearing it, I realised what part you were talking about. Doesn't really sound like the F word at all.
  • Michael Massey · 2 years ago
    I know everyone is surprised that a PG Disney movie would have the F-word in it but saying F**K in PG movies are not that all unique. 16 Candles (1984) for example was originally issued a R rating but on appeal they got a PG rating. Who could forget the words of Molly Ringwald at the beginning of the movie when she said, "They f**cking forgot my birthday!" Many PG teen movies of the 80's allowed this until the PG-13 rating came into existence.

    what a waste of time, you can clearly hear "get that bus out of here", and i dont even speak english as my first language

    Actually he says both phrases. But it depends on what you're thinking of when he says it. If you go on the assumption that he is going to drop an F bomb, then he will. If you then read that he said Bus instead of the F word and rewatch, then he will says Bus. It really depends on what you use as a reference point. Anyone who says that he said Bus instead of, watched the clip more than once.

    Try it, think of the F word and watch the clip, its the F word. Then think of the word Bus and watch it and he says Bus. It's definitely not the type of phrase that should be in a movie, but unless all you have on your mind is F*&% then I wouldn't worry too much.
  • kiko · 2 years ago
    I'm sure Kids will listen "bus"...and the rest of us "f**k", there so...we are going to be all pleased...future cinematography...
  • Will · 2 years ago
    E, your hearing things. They did not drop the F bomb in a Disney movie. It's BUS.
  • Jon McDermid · 2 years ago
    Have I heard the F word in a Disney movie???...cant say...but there was nudity in Disney's 1984 "Baby: The Secret of the Lost Legend" movie!!!!! I remember cause I was 10 and my parents let me watch it cause it was a Disney movie and there was nudity and a brief sex scene and they were shocked cause it was a Disney movie!

  • avoidz · 2 years ago
    Definitely "Get that bus outta here!". I wouldn't be surprised if Disney DVD loops over that background dialog with something clearer.
  • Cindi · 2 years ago
    Actually this is a very good, audio illusion. Show the clip to someone who either has not seen the movie or has..doesnt matter.
    Show the the photo with the word balloon, then scroll down to the shot clip with out them seeing the actual quoted line "Get the bus out of here."
    After they have heard the clip a couple of times, confirm with them that they heard "Get the F#%* out of here."

    Then: Show them the actual line and have them hear it again. Now they should hear the word "Bus" and not "F#%*"

    Proves we hear what we want to hear....interesting huh?
  • maponto · 2 years ago
    i must say that the first time i heard F***, but the second time i actually heard Bus... really funny stuff... by the way, i got the "It's a lion" reference inmediatly, so i'm glad I have my 100 geek points :-)
  • fanboy d · 2 years ago
    lol. bit like the 'sfx' in the stars in lion king...someone saw the possible misunderstanding and kept quiet, i'm sure.

    thanks for the points, but he definitely says 'it's huge' after 'it's alive'. just begging for a THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!
  • demione · 2 years ago
    Regardless of whatever is actually being spoken, it's way too close to 'get the f**k outta there' for Disney's PR to put any successful spin on it. They should release new prints to theatres to avoid drama...
  • Matt · 2 years ago
    I think it's so clear that he says "BUS." The F-word never would have crossed my mind.
  • Ratter · 2 years ago
    In a growing world where swear words are becoming more and more common in everyday language, it wouldn't surprise me if Disney films did start to drop off the odd F-word to the minors.
  • Bryan · 2 years ago
    Yeah, that's what's offensive--a word that sounds like a curse word--not them employing racial stereotypes for children to laugh at. Good catching it!
  • avoidz · 2 years ago
    F*ck me. "F*ck" is a very common word in everyday use. And a very useful one it is, too :)

    Didn't Disney creat Touchstone to put out more risqué pictures, like its first, Splash in 1984.
  • Thomas · 2 years ago
    Oh noes, they said fuck on tv! Call the freaking pentagon!
  • Rp · 2 years ago
    I heard the word fuck untill i read onwards and listening hard for the word bus.
  • nny · 2 years ago
    I think the only reason we hear "Get the fuck outta here" is because we're trained to hear that from pissed off drivers in NYC. Hearing something not 100% clear, your brain tries to fill in the parts you didn't hear with what should be there. Angry driver in NYC? Get the Fuck outta here!
  • Colleen · 2 years ago
    I heard bus here, without even knowing what I was listening for.
  • eric · 2 years ago
    I clearly heard BUS. Didnt even have to think twice.

    F**K, however, has been used in PG-13 movies, I am completely positive (although the name(s) slip my mind)
  • Michael · 2 years ago
    The first couple of times I thought it was "get the fuck outta there," then when I read it was bus I am now hearing "bus".
  • d · 2 years ago
    epic failure accomplished, all you fucktards have wasted time for nothing, as a reward, you get a heap of wasted time and shit in your pockets.
  • Daniel Alderman · 2 years ago
    Clearly says, "Get that bus out of there!" I wouldn't have even thought that it said the f-word if it hadn't been suggested.
  • Jo Jo · 2 years ago
    I am honestly so desensitized to swearing in these times that I would not have even noticed it. Not that I swear much, but I hear it so much that I just don't take notice anymore.
  • Ken · 2 years ago
    Man, i love how people are actually debating about this. Any moron can clearly hear him saying "Get that bus out of there." wtf is wrong with half of you. hah
  • constance · 2 years ago
    OH, nooo i found the 'f' word in 101 dalmations. glenn close says it on one part where she's either getting in or getting out of a car, I can't quite remember.
    me and my best friend found it one day when we were watching a bunch of kid movies. haha
  • Ella · 2 years ago
    Um...I always heard bus, but okay...
  • Shiva H Vishnu · 2 years ago
    The real question here is .... Who really gives a fuck?
  • Patrick · 2 years ago
    I sooooooo agree with Shiva H Vishnu.
    I mean, who really gives a shit. This just proves again that Americans (I am lucky to not count myself into that one) have their priorities f'd up
  • Chris · 2 years ago
    The fuck/bus word is not very clear, but the word preceding it is defintely "that" not "the," so "bus" makes more sense.
  • Gerinych · 1 year ago
    Actually, you hear what you expect to hear. Before I read the explanation, I could swear I heard the F-word. Now I hear "bus"
  • tania · 1 year ago
    I hear "get the f*ck out of there" but why would they say get the bus out of there? i dnt get it... but regardless.. this should've been fixed and/or edited..
    they know little kids are listening and this needs to be reheard to hear the actual script. thats not right.
  • Adrian Steve Reyes Mirr · 1 year ago
    lol doesnt seem realistic for a new yorker to say "get the bus outta there" who would say that?? the F word seems more plausible but since its a Disney movie... they probably edited it
  • Cbbcfan · 1 year ago
    Sounded like, "Get the f*** out of here"

    PG movies with fuck in it even after pg-13 came into effect (which was 84 by the way)
    beetlejuice ('88, complete with a ball grab too)
    Big ('88)
    white water summer ('88)
    spaceballs ('87)

    and probably some more... also

    even worse than that... how about nudity in pg movies... cause oh yeah... there is alot of those too.
