Disney’s Menstruation Education Video from the 40’s

Walt Disney shrinks to microscopic size and pilots a mini sub on a light-hearted journey through the rides and attractions inside Annette Funnicello’s body. No, actually this is just a typically Disney-looking short film on some very atypical Disney material, maturing lady parts. If you ask me, this needed a lot more Daffy Duck.

Takeaways from this video:

“Cramps can bring you down. Stop your crying and go ride your pony!”

“Stop being constipated or you’ll upset your lady parts.”

“You can’t take hot showers while menstruating.”

“Would you just do yourself up at last so at least the WHOLE WORLD doesn’t have to know you’re menstruating! Those sweat pants might as well be a billboard saying, ‘I’m dirty on the inside.’ And that’s no way for a lady to behave.”
