According to WTVT, a "sexually explicit scene" from another movie somehow ran in place of an animated Mickey Mouse short that accompanies and precedes the hit film.

The mix-up at the Regal Park Cinemas Park Place Stadium in Pinellas Park reportedly caused some parents to "rush their children to the exits."

A spokesperson for the Regal Cinemas theater chain said the inappropriate scene was part of another R-rated movie that was played accidentally.

Regal representatives say the sexually charged scene played for less than two minutes, but the damage was done.

Lynn Greene told WTVT she brought her grandchildren to the show and tried to hide them from the scene, "It seemed like forever when you're trying to, you know, cover a little guy's eyes" she said. "I didn't have enough hands to cover his ears too and he got the sound down real good."

The theater did give those in the audience free movie tickets to compensate them for their troubles.
