The song once stated, (cid:1688)where they cut off your ear if they don"t like your face,(cid:1689) which was taken out due to being a children"s movie as well as making muslims and arabs sound ruthless. A disney spokesman"s man defends the movie as, (cid:1688)most people are very happy with it,(cid:1689) and how this complaint, (cid:1688)comes from a small minority(cid:1689).
