Well now, isn’t this a thing?
A sharp-eyed fan has been watching the 1984 hit comedy Splash on the new Disney+ streaming service and noticed a bizarre abundance of hair on Daryl Hannah.
No, really.
The movie, which stars Hannah as a mermaid who washes up in New York and falls in love with Tom Hanks’ everyman, is a silly, fun staple of family entertainment from the 1980s.
But is seems Disney no longer feel the movie is wholesome enough and has decided that children and adults (who may want to) can no longer see Daryl Hannah’s bum as she runs back into the ocean in the scene where she meets – and kisses Hanks’ character.
Here’s the original scene in the 1984 movie in which we see Daryl Hannah’s, em, behind (and rather nice it was too) as she ran into the ocean:
And here’s the footage as it appears on Disney+
Disney+ didn’t want butts on their platform so they edited Splash with digital fur technology pic.twitter.com/df8XE0G9om

This is one of the most bizarre bits of editing I have ever seen… adding a digital wig to the star’s behind is, well, just plain weird…
Check it out above and let me know what you think of the new bum-gate issue.
