It was the sole reason for a renewed Disney Studios forming its Touchstone Pictures subsidiary. This was so they could get away with displaying Daryl Hannah's nude bottom! It was also big news for launching the film career of Tom Hanks, who immediately became a massive box-office comedy draw in the 80s. For Ron Howard, it was the breakaway success that guaranteed he'd be able to pursue as diverse a directorial career path as he wanted to. It's a simple romance tale, spiced up by making the female lead a mermaid. The stroke of brilliance in the script was in making the comedy happen around the two leads, while letting them believably convey they are hopelessly lost in love. The comedy comes from the ever-reliable John Candy as a larger-than-life womanising older brother, and Eugene Levy as a scatty scientist. Although New York looks a little different today, the movie has hardly aged at all. Which is just as well since it boldly begins "This morning." On the DVD: Splash offers a transfer that has some defects, but colours and dark areas seem just about right. We're spoiled for extras, with a warmly nostalgic Howard joining a key production crew commentary in reminiscing on how much fun they had making the movie. There's a half-hour documentary ("Making a Splash") interviewing everyone involved, including some archival footage of the late Candy. Best of all are the original Audition Tapes for Hanks and Hannah, which reveal the consummate professionals these once-hungry stars really are. --Paul Tonks Review: Great nostalgia and a decent quality transfer to dvd - I don't want to go over the top in reiterating what a great piece of cinema this is from a writing, casting and direction point of view. Many other reviewers have summed up what makes this film special, the sweet romance, the gentle humour and great writing and direction. Disney's first foray into grownup films (bare bums and snogging) is still enjoyable despite it taking its time to get to grown up Madison. What I do want to point out is that despite it being a film older than myself and a bog standard DVD edition it is really quite a good transfer and quality copy, admittedly it's not frame by frame restored bluray HD resolution, but it's not fizzing and fuzzing like some other cheap transfers which can evoke migraines. This is worth the purchase alone as so many treasured films of mine have been rendered barely watchable through a bodged transfer from VHS to DVD by the studios rushing out DVD titles from their libraries. This DVD is well worth its outstandingly cheap price (at the time of purchase), as it couples a really good DVD quality image with a fantastic film that stands the test of time even with its 80s technology and fashion! Review: My 3 year old LOVES this movie ... - I remember seeing this movie AT THE MOVIES - yes I'm THAT old !! It was showing on the television one Sunday afternoon and my daughter was entranced! She kicked and screamed up a fuss when the ads came on. She just stared and stared at Daryl Hannah (ie Madison) so I thought I'd look around to see if it was on DVD. I thought I'd find in bargain bins at local department stores but to no avail. When I saw it here on desertcart.uk and at such a cheap price, I snapped it up. I'm very happy with the price and it was delivered in next to no time at all. Suffice to say, this movie is my daughter's obsession! She has now developed a love of all things mermaid. And a note to any parents - this movie is perfect for young children. There are no sex scenes, no swearing, no violence. It's just a really fun movie with some sad bits and happy bits complete with a happy ending. A lovely film that my 3 year old daughter watches again and again and again. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00006JI3U | | Actors | Daryl Hannah, Dody Goodman, Eugene Levy, John Candy, Tom Hanks | | Aspect Ratio | 16:9 - 1.85:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | 6,658 in DVD & Blu-ray ( See Top 100 in DVD & Blu-ray ) 310 in Romance (DVD & Blu-ray) 488 in Fantasy (DVD & Blu-ray) 1,172 in Comedy (DVD & Blu-ray) | | Country of origin | Poland | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (592) | | Director | Ron Howard | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item model number | BED888618 | | Language | English (Dolby Digital 5.1), Spanish (Dolby Digital 5.1) | | Media Format | DVD-Video, PAL | | Producers | Brian Grazer | | Product Dimensions | 13.5 x 1.5 x 19 cm; 81.65 g | | Release date | 14 Oct. 2002 | | Run time | 1 hour and 45 minutes | | Studio | Walt Disney Studios Home Ent. | | Subtitles: | Danish, English, Finnish, Icelandic, Norwegian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish | | Writers | Babaloo Mandel, Bruce Jay Friedman, Lowell Ganz | ## Product Details - **Colour:** Colour - **Format:** DVD-Video, PAL - **Manufacturer:** Walt Disney Studios Home Ent. - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 45 minutes ## Images ![SPLASH - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81wpNaN1ruL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great nostalgia and a decent quality transfer to dvd *by L***E on 17 April 2015* I don't want to go over the top in reiterating what a great piece of cinema this is from a writing, casting and direction point of view.

A lovely film that my 3 year old daughter watches again and again and again. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Daryl Hannah oozes sex appeal, Tom Hanks becomes a star. *by M***E on 7 July 2010* A story of a mermaid, sounds so tacky. But this one has you smiling all the way through it.Brilliant casting on all characters, make this a Classic Must Have in My Collection Film. Tom Hanks as a boy falls from a boat, but doesn't drown , because a young girl watches him fascinated, and rescues him. Time passes, and she is given a chance to leave her aquatic life behind ( And her tail) to persue the boy she helped years before. Learning to talk , walk, eat properly.( Watch it!)All has comedy , and sentiment by the bucket load. John Candy has a cameo performance as Hanks's Brother.And Eugene Levy ( Ghostbusters)plays a dasterdly scientist, out for fame and recognition.To prove the existence of Mermaids. Just a feel good film, and maybe leaves us all with a smile, and a wish, that 'i wish i could swim like that, and with Daryl Hannah. Enough said. 5* i love it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Splash - Big --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/47991551-splash](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/47991551-splash) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
