At least that far back. Was there any controversy over that when it was released?
shareI think referring to "Hell" as a place like in this film was not as taboo as using it like "Get the hell out of my way"
How you can make the world a better place:
Don't shop at Wal-Mart.
I don't have an answer, but I felt the same way when I bought the film for my kids in the late 80s/early 90s.
If we can save humanity, we become the caretakers of the world
It does feel out of place if you ask me. I know they also say it in The Hunchback Of Notre Dame, but still.

Actually I feel saying "hell" when referring to the actual place was more common in movies back in the 50s than it is today as the county was much more religious at the time.
However, Sleeping Beauty is not the only Disney movie to say "hell". In The Hunchback of Notre Dame, the villain says the word "hell" twice and refers to the place by other names as well ("Abyss, "Fiery pit"). He even has a song called "Hellfire" which is about his fear of going to hell as the result of his lustful desires.
Mrs. Potts said Hell in "Beauty and the Beast".
She tells Cogsworth there's a nice place in __ for him.

Also, in Beauty and the Beast: the Enchannted Christmas, Forte says "hell" during his musical number.
shareWhen referring to the place, it's not a swear. They said "Hell" a lot in Hunchback of Notre Dame and that got a G rating. It's all a matter of context.
