Disney has plug out dozens of educational short throughout the year , and not all of them conform to that clean - cut , animate being - sidekick - and - singing - princess salubrity audience have come to expect from the studio . Here are some of the Mouse House ’s odder forays into edutainment .

The Story of Menstruation ( 1946 )
Yes , this is just what it says on the tin . With Disney before long mining its past films for the 3D multiplex treatment — Tron , Pirates , etc . — could this forget treasure be far behind ? Also , I ’m pretty sure this is the only Disney toon with the intelligence “ rectum ” in it .

The Winged Scourge ( 1943 )
This wartime short was design to prevent the spread of malaria in Latin America . And do you roll in the hay who really detest malarial mosquito ? The Seven Dwarves , of course ! Join Sleepy and Grumpy as they battle against the evils of stagnant piddle . And cheer on Dopey as he kills those mosquitoes “ full and stagnant ! ” Presumably they spend their mosquito - killing salary onwar bonds .

Donald in Mathemagic Land ( 1959 )
In this math grade staple fiber , we join everyone ’s favorite pants - less mallard as he trip balls in a sac dimension filled with Pythagorean bizarreness . I ’m fairly disappointed Disneyland never thought to build a Mathemagic Land plane section of their parks . Side note : Donald also invented the wheel ( 1,2 ) and was the star of a litany ofoccupationalanddomesticsafety movie .

No Smoking ( 1951 )
In this shortstop , Goofy play a nicotine nut who must deal with the temptation of tobacco . This came from a time when those inviolable Disney characters could get away withquite a number .
VD Attack Plan ( 1973 )
Yes , Disney made an STD awareness celluloid . And while it fail to strike the esthetic tallness ofThe Return of Count Spirochete , it does volunteer them a potential spokesman for those ill - send word sick nights onPleasure Island .
Cartoon All - star To The Rescue ( 1990 )
It ’s pretty unjust to refer to this as a Disney yield , as every damn Saturday morning character seem as well . Still , Winnie the Pooh and Huey , Dewey , and Louie did play a substantial part in keeping child away from illicit narcotic — when Alf is telling you to lay off the uppers , you recognise you ’re in hot water . Weirdly enough , the filmmakers made the entire yield look like the dark corner of Fritz the Cat ’s mind . Here ’s the eternal sleep of it:1,2 .
