A red-faced US cable television company has apologized after a Disney cartoon was replaced with a hardcore porn film.

Comcast subscribers were left shocked when the "Handy Manny" cartoon on Playhouse Disney was interrupted by an X-rated movie, the New York Daily News reports.

Shocked Paul Dunleavy was watching the cartoon with his five-year-old son when the porn kicked in.

"It was two people doing their thing, it was full-on and it was disgusting," he said.

"It wasn't something you'd expect to see on Cinemax, never mind Disney."

Comcast has confirmed it was responsible for the error that affected sections of New Jersey.

"We had an isolated issue in a local New Jersey facility, we immediately detected the issue and it was corrected promptly," Comcast spokesman Fred DeAndrea said.

Disney's Playhouse features cartoons geared towards youngsters between the ages of three to six.
