**** Averted with the [[Fuel TV]] version of [[Clerks]], which while still censored, was admittedly done pretty well for a Kevin Smith movie.

* ''[[The Parent Trap]]''. Whenever they show it on [[Disney Channel]], they cut out the part where Hailey pierces Annie's ears with a nail. They show Annie holding her ears, trying to make the decision. Then they cut to commercial, and when they get back, Annie's ears are pierced.

** They also have started completely cutting the scene where Hailey asks her mother for a sip of wine, which she then comments on with all the knowledge you would expect of a winemaker's daughter. In the uncut vs., this is a major reason that the grandfather suspects something is up and follows Hailey to the park. But the modern MPAA has declared that films with people drinking anything declared to be wine cannot go lower than PG-13—that is, if you drink wine, then it's not a family film. The [[Disney Channel]] must have taken its cue from there.

*** The wine and ear-piercing parts were also cut when the movie was released in the UK (both parts were cut because the censors don't like showing dangerous or illegal actions that can easily be imitated in real life [i.e., combat moves, easy ways to break into someone's house or car without creating evidence (so a crook breaking a window to a house to get in would be uncut, but not a crook using a credit card to jimmy a locked door), drug abuse, methods of suicide, mishandling weapons or chemicals, etc.], especially in children's movies and family films). It can now be found uncut on DVD.
