Do you have a problem with Disney+ censoring movies?


For example, scenes in Splash have been digitally altered from the original version to get rid of brief rear nudity.

Any issues with altering original content? This is open to whomever has Disney+ or whomever wants to chime in on their feeling or non feelings about censoring movies.

Do they have a warning that says that the film has been edited for content?

I find it ridiculous and unnecessary. Surely they have parental control settings like Netflix. If they feel the story is not suitable for kids to watch, it wouldn't show up on the kiddy version of Disney+, or did they forget to set up something like that?

reply

I don’t really care. These movies get edited for TV and for release in different countries already.

As someone else here pointed out correctly, nudity is not necessary in movies. The overwhelming majority of movies, and all American movies, had no nudity until the 1960s, yet the quality of films hasn't risen at all as a result of its inclusion during the past several decades. That being said, once a movie is made with nudity, or any other attributes subsequently deemed undesirable for ideological or commercial reasons, it should not be altered. It should be left alone, as it was originally made. If there are people who don't want to see it, they don't have to watch it.
