The Rescuers - Nude Woman in a Window
As Orville dives to complete his rooftop takeoff, The Rescuers pass a topless woman in a window. Added to the film in post production, the nude image wasn't discovered until home videos were paused or played in slow motion. Those early home video releases were recalled and later versions of The Rescuers have been edited to omit the naughty image.
