Wow, I had no idea that scene was real. I knew about the other two, but I thought Betty Boop's nipples were just an urban legend. Apparently I was wrong.
Does the "For a good time, call Allison Wonderland" graffiti in the Toontown bathroom have that alleged one-frame subliminal phone number? Supposedly, it was Michael Eisner's phone number, but even if it wasn't, I'm assuming it was removed because it was a real number (like the 1-800-SPANK-ME dialogue that has been expunged from The Santa Clause since the late 90s).
Who exactly is the source of this rumor, a projectionist? An insider? No one else would be able to read a "one-frame" phone number.
I definitely could see the name on the wall on the CAV Laserdisc, but the number wasn't legible on my old analog tv. All of these gags were not discovered until the early 90's, at least that's when it made the news. It actually caused the CAV to sell out years after it was released.
Disney was so paranoid by the late 90's, they recalled the LD of Roger Rabbit shorts for one barely noticeable sight gag. (With dubious claims the discs had glue problems.) Copies still got out of course, and mine is pristine. ;)
