More than two years ago we learned that Disney+ considered it inappropriate for children to see a donkey at the beach. In 2020, the well-known streaming platform arrived in our homes and presented in its catalog ‘One, two, three… Splash’, the successful romantic comedy directed by Ron Howard (‘Apollo 13’) and starring Tom Hanks and Daryl Anna. At that moment, the audience found that they had censored the mermaid’s butt on the beach in the most curious way possible. Now, the movie has been remastered in 4K and the censorship has been removed.
At the time, host Allison Pregler posted the scene on her Twitter account. in her, We can see how when Hannah runs into the sea with her back to the camera, hair extensions created by CGI technology appeared and covered her butt. Now, this hair has been removed and we can enjoy the original version again.

This change is due to the platform reevaluating its parental control tool after acquiring more adult Marvel titles., such as “Daredevil”, “Jessica Jones” or “The Punisher”. The aforementioned feature allows parents to restrict certain titles based on content ratings, as well as the ability to add a PIN lock to access some profiles. In Spain we have had that parental control since they incorporated Star, the adult content brand, in early 2021.
More Disney complaints
It’s not the first time something like this has happened. Even in 2020, ‘The Wizards of Waverly Place: Caribbean Vacation’ fans pointed out that the producer had blurred Maria Canals-Barrera’s cleavage during a given episode. In turn, in January of this year, viewers also noted that it was edited a conversation from “Adventures in the Big City”. During the original 1987 film, Elisabeth Shue’s character wryly said: “Don’t Fuck the Babysitter”. This sentence was later changed with the arrival of the streaming film. At the same time, some chapters of ‘The Simpsons’ have also suffered censorship by Disney +including the episode starring Michael Jackson, which was directly excluded.
