Disney Plus slammed for ridiculous editing as they cover Daryl Hannahs bare butt in the Tom

May 2024 · 3 minute read

DISNEY Plus is being dragged by fans for its “disturbing” attempt to cover up Daryl Hannah’s bare butt in the Tom Hanks classic Splash.

In order to stick with the streaming platform’s “PG-13 or milder” policy, digital hair was added to cover up the 59-year-old actress’ rear - which has been described as looking like “yak fur.”

The scene from the 1984 film shows Daryl’s character Madison - who has legs on land but turns into a mermaid in the water - nude as she kissed Tom, 63, while only being covered by her long hair.

In the original version, Daryl ran into the ocean after their smooch and her blonde locks covered almost everything… but viewers could still catch a quick glimpse of her butt cheeks.

Despite the movie’s PG-rating, Disney decided to alter the scene when it was added to their streaming service to completely cover her private area.

Fans were quick to notice the editing blunder and called out the media giant: “That fake hair is more disturbing than any butt.”

“It's HILARIOUS how sh***y that looks,” another person tweeted as someone else replied “Yep. It looks like yak hair!”

Someone who disagreed with the move wrote: “There comes a point when nudity censorship crosses a line into creepy prudishness, this is it.”

“Wait, so Disney+ censored Daryl Hannah’s butt in Splash but Hulk's butt in Thor: Ragnarok is OK?” A viewer questioned of the nudity comparisons between the Marvel film.

Splash on Disney Plus is introduced with a disclaimer at the beginning of the movie that reads: "This film has been modified from its original version. It has been edited for content."

In December, a spokesperson for Disney spoke to The Ringer about the company’s battle to determine what is considered “family-friendly” for the platform and said nothing R-rated would be permitted.

“I’m pretty sure the PG-13 rating dictates no nudity in a sexual context,” they said at the time.

This isn’t the first time The Walt Disney Company has come under fire for its sloppy editing job.

On Peter Weber’s season of The Bachelor this year, viewers were baffled by the show’s decision to VERY noticeably “paint” over the contestants butts when the ladies were in their swimsuits.

During a bikini photoshoot in Costa Rica with Pilot Pete, 28, his group of women looked like they wore “diapers” as ABC producers attempted to make their looks more conservative.

Sydney Hightower, 24 walked into the water with a drawing to blend into her black bikini bottom to cover her backside more fully.

Both of the show’s Victoria’s - Paul and Fuller - fell victim to the same fate when their rear’s were shown on the TV with what looked like marker painted over.

“Since when do the producers of the bachelors draw over the girls butts when they are in bathing suits? It’s horrible,” one viewer said next to the face palm emoji.

Another fan pointed out: “Cracks me up how it’s ok to show the bachelor make out with multiple women in one night, but better photoshop full bikini bottoms on their butts.”
