While I could believe the animators might be playing a prank of some
sort, I seriously doubt Disney would intentionally instruct their
cartoonists to insert SEX in a children's film.  It's more than likely
that this is coincidence; kinda like people who flock to Podunk USA
to see a visage of Jesus in a screen door or something.

When I was in JrHigh/High School, playing records backwards was kinda
big.  One of my friends rigged up his record player to play backward.
He grabbed one of his parents' patriotic LP's and started playing 
"God Bless America" in reverse.  Plain as day, the words "Weee WorSHIP
SaTAN" came forth from the speaker. [insert spooky music here]

(for the youngsters here ;-) "records" or "LP's" are black plastic
disks with grooves.  Engraved in the grooves are pits.  The disk is
placed on a platter, with a needle inserted in the groove.  As the
disk rotates on the platter, the needle bounces up and down on the
pits.  This bouncing/vibrating motion is converted to sound; thus
LP's were popular for the deep rumbling and scratchy noises they
created -- the first "industrial music."  Also, music from groups like
"ABBA" and "KC and the Sunshine Band" was distributed on LP's, which
grossly illustrates the inferiority of the media.)
