Daddy Day Care (2003)
Plot summary
Directed by: Steve Carr
Starring: Eddie Murphy, Steve Zahn, Regina King, Jeff Garlin
Two men (Eddie Murphy and Jeff Garlin) get laid off in product development at a large food company and are forced to become stay-at-home fathers and take their sons out of the exclusive Chapman Academy. They create a new day care facility called "Daddy Day Care" and have kids like: the smart-mouthed-but-became-polite Crispin (Shane Baumel), the really-smart Becca (Hailey Noelle Johnson), and The Flash/Tony (Jimmy Bennett). As "Daddy Day Care" starts to catch on, it launches them into a comedic rivalry with the Chapman Academy tough-as-nails director, Ms. Harridan (Anjelica Huston).

Answer: Because it's a kids movie that adults are supposed to be able to sit through as well. Seeing the horrific diarrhea mess would have too high a gross out value and be a turn off for the audience. It's better to leave it to the imagination than gross out your audience when that's not what you're wanting to do with the movie as a whole.
