The Dr Who Ood are more complicated than we are originally led to believe.  The Ood are a funny looking race with no apparent difference between male and females, all Ood look the same.  These squid faced humanoids with their coleoid tentacles over their mouths appear to be physically quite vulnerable.  They do not have the protection of amour or a tough outer skin, they are also further encumbered by having one hand permanently in use.  This is not the appearance of a race of fighters, so what are the Ood really?

What are the Dr Who Ood carrying?
The Dr Who Ood all carry something in their hand which is attached by a tube to their mouths.  When the Ood are a slave race they carry a translator which allows the Ood to communicate with their human masters.As the story of the Ood developes we discover that originally they had carried an external brain.This brain controlled all their personal identity, so when the humans added the translator device they were removing their individual-ness and were therefore turning them from thinking individuals to anonymous slaves.  The Ood had not previously needed to speak as they are telepathic and communicated within their community without speech.

Where  are the Ood from?
One publication suggested that the Ood came from the Ood Sphere, close the Sense Spere planet.The Ood hive brain is search out by the Doctor and is freed from its captors.  Once this is done the Ood change and they again communicate with the hive mind and they are all returned to the ‘Planet of the Ood’.  The Ood appear fundamentally peaceful, however, they become aggressive when they are controlled incorrectly, either by the Beast or the hive mind when it is under attack.  Once the Ood are no longer enslaved and the Hive mind is free their communication sounds like a sound song which is audible to humans, and time lords.This adds to the implication of a beautiful, calm Ood home planet.

Since the Doctor and Rose freed the Ood they are forever in his debt.  This fact alone is probably enough to ensure that at some point in the future the Ood will be ready to help the Doctor and return the favor.  The Doctor may often fight the evil of the universe, but along the way he makes powerful friends who will stand by him when needed.  This looks like a possible future role for the Ood.

Disney Subliminal Messages

This is an article about the many disney subliminal messages which have been found in various movies over the years - We will talk about that a little more in a second, but here is a basic definition of subliminal messages:

The word subliminal when translated literally means “below threshold”, i.e. beneath the level of our perception. That is a little misleading; for subliminal messages to work, they do need to be perceived on some level, so although you won’t consciously hear or see them your subconscious mind will decode them without your knowledge. Subliminal messaging therefore describes the act of sending messages directly into your subconscious mind, and your subconscious mind is powerful enough to process 1000s of messages and peices of information without your knowledge.

is there hidden Disney subliminal messages?

To sum it up, yes there are.

In fact, there are both subliminal and clearly visable messages in Disney films – you can see them in almost any Disney movie, they are infamous for including them.

Every time a new Disney film is released the subliminal message seekers and conspiracy theorists race to be the first to find them.

Which Movies Have Subliminal Messages?

Most of them!

The history of hidden messages goes back many years within Disney and it is said the use of them was started by unhappy employees who were left off the credits of early movies - they took revenge by including adult based subliminal messages and subtle references in the next movies.

One of the first known examples of this is from the Goofy series of short “Sports” movies, where the animators and designers simply called characters after each other in subtle ways. The sophistication of subliminal messaging would only get more advanced however; most commonly animators would hide the word “sex” in the background of the scenes throughout the movie, but some would go as far as including short clips of naked bodies in strategic places.

Walt Disney wasn’t impressed when this started happening, but he was talked round as apparantly the messages made his movies more memorable - anything to get the films talked about was good for Disney - any publicity is good publicity.

People now expect the emssages in Disney movies and it has actually added a quality to the brand, it is debatable now whether it is just the animators, or the design teams / management at a higher level who specify the use of these hidden messages.
