Huge Rider, Tiny Mount | |
| The Star / int_152b3dcf | comment |
Huge Rider, Tiny Mount: When the camels first encounter the guard dogs, they bark at them to make them pile up on each other. Cyrus hops onto Deborah, and Felix climbs onto the top of the stack. Naturally, Deborah loses her footing and topples over, especially since Cyrus is much bigger than her. | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| The Star / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: Most of the "adult" scenes from the Bible passages are toned down. The birth uses Scenery Censor and cuts away to the fight between Bo and the "royal dog master." Later, one of the end credit backgrounds shows the family travelling to Egypt. (For the reason, check the Bible passage.) | |
