It seems Disney+ may have confused an amphibian for a cat when using CGI on Daryl Hannah’s mermaid butt.

The new streaming platform is taking family-friendly to the next level when it comes to the gluteus maximus. A memorable scene from 1984’s “Splash” seems to have taken inspiration from the live-action “Cats” film.

In the original scene, Hannah’s posterior makes a brief on-screen appearance as she bids farewell to Tom Hanks and dives into the ocean. In the Disney+ version, her hair has grown long enough to completely cover her rear-end.

The problem, however, is that it looks nothing like hair. The newly-added animation does not sway with the rest of her hair. Instead, it looks like Hannah has a woolly mammoth proportion of fur glued to her butt. In another scene, a side-view of her butt is simply blurred out.

“Splash” was released in 1984 starring Hannah, Hanks, Canadian “Schitt’s Creek” star Eugene Levy and John Candy. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.
