WHAT?!


Information copied and pasted from IMDb's trivia section:

In the UK, to avoid a "12" rating, a shot of Lilo climbing out of a tumble dryer has been altered to have her lowering the top of a cardboard pizza box cover she is using to hide herself under a wooden table. The pizza box takes the place of the dryer door, and the table is the same size as a dryer.The scene is identical in every other way, including the action between Nani and Lilo. Apparently the lack of a latch or seal of any kind on an enclosed space satisfied the censors. The film has the same length as other uncut versions. When the Disney Channel aired this, it removed the scene entirely, skipping to when Nani has apprehended Lilo.

I also copied this from the bbfc website:

Distributor chose to remove sight of dangerous activity which might be copied by young children (child character emerging from a hiding place inside a washing machine or tumble drier) in order to achieve a U. A 12 uncut was available to the distributor.

Those are the rules in the UK. There censors are stricter on a lot of things. For example sex and violence is cut from their TV and theaters a lot more than in the US, to. It's just there way.

English Language Anime: Dub it, don't pervert it.
