Disney’s censorship is calming down a little bit as it restores the original release of certain shows and films.
A little over two years ago, we talked about how Splash made waves across the internet for the wrong reasons. The beloved movie that stars Tom Hanks and Daryl Hannah in a mermaid-out-of-water romantic comedy went through an unjustified edit that left many wondering what Disney would do to maintain its family-friendly brand.
When Disney+ launched 36 months ago, viewers were eager to rewatch Splash but noticed that something was… off.
In one scene, Daryl Hannah’s character runs back into the ocean and her posterior is barely visible beneath her long hair after Tom Hanks asks her for her number. Disney, believing the brief moment of mooning was unsuitable for its audience, edited the scene so Hannah’s hair covered her body.
