People stunned by incredibly inappropriate scene from classic Disney movie

Disney fans have been left horrified by a hugely inappropriate scene from an older film.

The movie is called Blank Check and follows the adventures of 11-year-old boy Preston after he is given a blank cheque by a criminal, which he then uses to buy houses and limousine services.

While that sounds more than a little fraudulent, that's not the scene which viewers have been rendered shocked by after watching the movie again years later.

The film was originally released back in 1994, and it's one plot line in particular which has been slammed over its content.

This is the plot where the 11-year-old appears to pursue a romantic relationship with an adult woman.

The culmination of the film, where Preston learns his lesson that money cannot buy happiness, is where the problematic scene comes in.

So exactly is this scene which has people talking even 20 years after the movie first came out?

It's a scene where Preston shares a kiss with bank teller and undercover FBI agent Shay, played by Karen Duffy who was 31 years old at the time.

This wasn't a peck on the cheek but a kiss on the lips which people have criticised as being completely inappropriate and uncomfortable.

To add to the unsettling nature of the scene Shay then tells Preston she will go on a date with him 'in six years'.

This would still make him just 17 years old going on a date with someone 20 years older than him.

People shared their shock on social media. One person wrote: "I remember rewatching this movie one night and seeing this scene coming up and thinking to myself 'she's going to kiss him on the cheek like they usually do' and then my jaw hitting the floor when she actually kissed him on the lips.

"I didn't remember this at all from when I was a child. Unbelievable."

Another wrote: "I assure you. That scene was weird when Blank Check first came out."

A third commented: "This was messed up even in its day," while a fourth asked: "Nobody on set was like, 'On the lips? Are you sure about this?'"

Some reactions were suggestive that this was a 'harmless' scene, and many played into the harmful stereotype that young boys should 'enjoy' the attention of older women.
