is it true that some of the animators at disney put in swear words and rude pictures, hidden in some scenes of their motion pictures if so where and how do we spot them?

Apparently so:

I'm sure there are more. A quick google finds it goes way back to the 1930's.

I know that one myth said the Jessica Rabbit in the film "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" appears without knickers in one shot, but it is not true.
I worked in the Xerox Department on the film ( we copied all the animators drawings onto cell ) and she never appeared naked.
The story came out at the same time as the laser-disc was launched...
Some animators did try writing their name or initials into drawings, but we scrubbed them out ( why should they get their name into the film if we couldn't ) !

i thought in the pupil of dumbo there was a porn movie scene??

In Who Framed..... in the first scene, the grumpy baby actor, as he storms off the set, runs between an assistant's legs. If you slow it right down he clearly raises a middle finger up the girls skirt. It lasts about three or four frames and quite literally if you blink, you miss it.

Cinemas' in this country used to put in what was then called 'spoilers'. It was a subliminal one frame shot injected into the film, not visible by the naked eye, but taken in by the sub-conscience part of the brain. 'Spoilers' would generally be that of drinks or food, so when the intermission came, cinema go-oers would automatically want to have something to eat or drink to satisfy their craving (little realising it was the spoiler that triggered this of). So sales of refreshments were pretty high. I cannot remember (date) when this was outlawed, and cinemas' banned from this practice.

tictactoe - these were actually called blip-verts.

spoilers are when the ending or twist is given away before seeing the film.

some directors started to use them in films as part of the film, like devils faces in horror films etc

some animators will add words into random patterns like material ruffles, smoke and trees etc.

there is one famous one of an image of hung person in the very back of a shot - can't remember the film now, though...

apparently in the lion king, there is some smoke or dust that rises and spells out sex ...
