Abstract (2. Language): 
This paper addresses the way Disney identifies American culture as opposed to non Western cultures through the manipulation of song lyrics. Accounting for whether Disney lyrics in animation ease or hinder cross-cultural communication between the West and the East under globalization is crucial to our understanding of its impact on young audiences. Considering its inherently humoristic and amusing nature, Disney lyrics can be powerful and effective means to inform and familiarize children with other peoples and cultures. Yet, Disney’s portrayal of other minorities or ethnic groups worldwide is often misleading and biased.
