The song "Splish Splash" is featured in at least two notable films: the biographical musical drama Beyond the Sea (2004) and the animated comedy Animals United (2010).
Beyond the Sea (2004)
In the Bobby Darin biopic Beyond the Sea, the song "Splish Splash" is prominently featured. Actor Kevin Spacey, who portrays the legendary singer Bobby Darin, performs the song himself in the film. This movie delves into the life and career of Bobby Darin, making "Splish Splash"—one of his breakout hits—a central part of the soundtrack and narrative.
Animals United (2010)
The popular children's song also appears in the animated film Animals United. In both the English and German versions of the movie, the character Billy the Meerkat is heard singing "Splish Splash" while taking a shower. His performance, however, is comically interrupted by Toto the Chimpanzee, adding a lighthearted moment to the film.
